ABSTRACT:
A medical instrument used for closing an opening for surgery in which a trocar is used, and a method of securely closing the opening. The instrument includes a hollow tube, into which is inserted an elongated actuating mechanism, having at least two needles that can be positioned in a closed or an open position. By securing a suture on the needles, inserting the instrument into the surgical opening, placing the needles into the open position, withdrawing the instrument through the body tissue, and tying the sutures, a secure closure of the surgical opening can be achieved.
