ABSTRACT:
A device and method are provided for the surgical suturing of narrow incisions that penetrate through a plurality of tissue layers. An elongated, "J"-shaped needle, through which suture material is threaded, is inserted into the wound, bringing the tip through one or more layers of tissue on one side of the wound and pulling suture material up through the wound. After repeating these steps on the other side of the wound, the suture material is knotted. A slidable locking member serves the dual purpose of covering the tip of the suture needle when not in use and also of maintaining pneumoperitoneum.
