  1. Laser drilled Needle-Suture attachment 2. The processing is different  

 
 

Pictures on the left and center show other brand's needle-suture attachment which is channel type; Right side picture shows thinner, shorter and smoother laser drilled attachment of MANI. Mani is probably the only company in the world capable of making a laser drill of 27 Micron size, even on a needle smaller than an average human hair.

 Mani's cross lapped edge Other brands edge  
The fine processing technique of MANI is used to make the blade edges with cross lapped finishing. The polishing is done at the blade flow direction parallel to vertical. This yields a superior sharpness.  
3. The strength of the needles are different 4. The material is different

Mani needle 18-8 hard fiber steel
Other brands ordinary steel
 

The above picture shows the result of bending strength of Mani steel (right) compared with an equivalent thickness of other brands steel (left). Mani steel is hard and break resistance as proved, which is used in the manufacturing of the needles.

 Mani Inc., uses a specially processed, 18-8 Austenite steel to make the blades, which is hard and break resistant; whereas other blades are made with ordinary stainless steel. The process of making the Austenite steel is a patented technology of Mani Inc., Japan.  
5. The Needle sharpness is different 6. The Suture knot-strength is different  

MANI needles when subjected to a comparative penetration test revealed the resistance to penetrate being the least with MANI needles as shown in the graph on the left (Mani: yellow-bar: Blue and pink bars: other brands) thereby proving MANI needles are the sharpest.

When compared with other brands for knot-strength of the suture, MANI suture proved to be the strongest as shown in the graph on the left (Mani: Yellow bar; Other brands: Blue & Pink bar).
