A suture passer includes a longitudinally extending hollow cannula having a central passage slidingly receivable of a surgical suture; a manually graspable handle having an upper suture and being connected to the hollow cannula for manipulation thereof; a first guide connected to the upper surface of the handle, proximate a proximal end of the handle for releasably, guidingly, holding the surgical suture; and a second guide connected to the upper surface of the handle, distal to the first guide, for releasably, guidingly, holding the surgical suture. The suture passer can be provided in a kit, for use in the suturing of internal tissue, along with a cannula bender, various hollow surgical needles and surgical suture material. The suture passer finds particular use in the suturing of internal tissues which are at least partially accessible through a body cavity, e.g., arthroscopic surgery.
