ABSTRACT:
A surgical tool for passing sutures during surgery comprises a plurality of elongated flexible members which are aligned longitudinally and joined at their corresponding ends. The members may be flexed outwardly to allow easy insertion of a suture therebetween. Sutures are pulled toward a joined end to secure them within the suture passer. The flexible members allow the tool to be used within confined areas and to pass suture along curved pathways. Multiple sutures may be inserted between the members at one time and pulled through the patient where necessary for sewing parts of the body together.
