ABSTRACT:
A suture guiding device comprising a tubular shaft having opposite ends which are distal and proximal relative to a person holding the device for use in a suturing procedure, the distal end of the shaft being adapted to be inserted into a patient during the procedure. A suture guide is mounted at the distal end of the shaft for rotation relative to the shaft about an axis extending endwise with respect to the shaft. The guide has a guide surface for guiding a suture needle. A hand-operable control device is mounted on the shaft generally adjacent its proximal end. The guide and the control device are connected whereby hand-operation of the control device effects rotation of the guide to selectively adjust the suture-guiding position of the guide surface.
