ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides an apparatus which is designed to capture, and manipulate the movement of, surgical needles as they pass through the tissue wall of a patient. The apparatus of the present invention has, among other things, a removable gripping body component which is designed to rest against the tissue wall of a patient. This gripping body component has sufficient resistance to be penetrated by, and grip, the needle's point. The apparatus also has a component which is designed to manipulate the movement of the gripping body component. This manipulating component has a ledge surface or opening defined thereon or therein. The apparatus also has a fastening component. At least one end of the fastening component is secured to the gripping component. The fastening component is designed to secure the removable gripping component to the manipulating component. The fastening component includes a flexible and resilient latching member which can move from an engaging position to a disengaging position with respect to the manipulating component's ledge or opening.
