ABSTRACT:
A Verres needle suturing device. The spring loaded probe of a Verres needle assembly is modified to include an angled guide for guiding the end of a piece of suture material from the channel of the probe out of the opening of the probe so that it can be snared by a snare introduced into the surgical site. The invention is particularly useful for relatively inaccessible surgical sites, such as result from endoscopic and laparoscopic surgery.
