ABSTRACT:
An endoscopic suture tool is provided to minimize extra-corporeal exposure of the suture to bacteria and to minimize the possibility of suture entanglement with external trocars and other instruments. The suture tool has a holder with a protrubing hub for accepting a standard suture reel and an orifice through which the suture feeds into and through the lumen of an extension member releasably carried by the holder. Adjacent the distal end of the extension member, a slot is located in the extension member for captively and releasably holding the free end of the suture.
