ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for suturing anatomical tissue includes a hollow needle guide having a distal end, a needle disposed within the needle guide and movable between a retracted position where at least a portion of the needle is disposed within the needle guide and an extended position where the needle is disposed externally of the needle guide, suture material connected with the needle, and a manually articuable needle receiver for guiding a distal end of the needle as a proximal end of the needle is advanced distally through the needle guide and capturing the needle when the proximal end of the needle emerges from the distal end of the needle guide.
