ABSTRACT:
A surgical device for closing trocar incision sites and delivering sutures. The present invention is a needle assembly in which the needle is constructed of a spring-like material and initially housed within a sheath in a deformed condition. The needle can be easily exposed by sliding an actuator so as to release the constraining means and allow the needle to assume its undeformed condition. The needle assembly has few parts, allows a wide range for deflection of the needle, and the needle may be exposed with a relatively short stroke.
