ABSTRACT:
A cross-action surgical instrument has a pair of opposed jaws providing the capacity for clampingly receiving and holding a suturing needle, and severing a suture when stitching is complete. A stop member is formed on one of the opposed jaws extending toward and past the second of said jaws to prevent the suturing needle or the suture from reaching the pivot between the first and second jaws. The stop member registers with a groove formed in the remaining jaw and the uppermost edge of the groove has a honed edge against which the suture is sheared by the stop member when the first and second jaws are closed, or forced together.
