ABSTRACT:
An assembly is provided for suturing an incision in a tissue wall of a patient with a suture material. The assembly comprises a carrier member, a distal member interconnected to the carrier member, and a guide member positioned about and moveable along the carrier member. The guide member guides an access device through the tissue wall at two or more different locations adjacent to the incision in the tissue wall such that suture material is threadable through and into the tissue wall at a first location and through and back out of the tissue wall at a second location.
