ABSTRACT:
A non-disposable trocar needle and handle for suturing laparoscopic and other small incisions. In one embodiment, the trocar needle has a handle and a curved needle tip which allow a surgeon, with a single twist of the handle, to pass the needle through the fascia, muscle and peritoneal layers on both sides of an incision. In another embodiment the trocar needle has a straight shaft with an eyelet defined through the sharp, pointed tip, the eyelet having a larger diameter on one end than the opposite end for better visualization laparoscopically.
