ABSTRACT:
A device and method are provided for the surgical suturing of narrow incisions that penetrate through a plurality of tissue layers. The device comprises a hollow needle through which suture material is threaded, the needle having the shape of an elongated "J." The method entails inserting the needle into the wound, bringing the tip through one or more layers of tissue, and pulling suture material up through the wound; these steps are repeated for the other side of the wound to form a single stitch, which may then be knotted. In this way one or more subcutaneous layers of tissue may be sutured without involving the skin, which may be sutured using conventional means to complete the closure.
