ABSTRACT:
A surgical stitching device allows a surgeon to place a "through and through" suture. The device includes a hollow needle with an inner needle slidingly disposed with the hollow needle. The inner needle has a groove which can be retracted within the hollow needle for grasping a suture. When the groove is filled with a suture and retracted in the hollow needle, the device can be used to make an incision through tissue and to deliver a length of suture to the bottom of the incision. The device can then be withdrawn or a second device with an empty groove used to make an incision through the tissue at a neighboring location. The device at the second incision is then used to regrasp the suture and to pull it through the tissue at the second incision. The ends of the suture at the first and second incisions are then tied in a knot around the tissue.
