ABSTRACT:
An endoscopic apparatus for suturing vascular tissue including a body portion having a first and a second jaw mounted for movement on a distal end thereon and moveable between an open position spaced apart to a closed position wherein the first and second jaws are in close cooperative alignment and a handle member for moving the first and second jaws to move them between the open and closed positions. The apparatus further includes a reciprocating mechanism associated with the first and second jaws and movable between a first position securing a surgical needle within the first jaw and a second position releasing the surgical needle from the first jaw and a cam actuating lever engagable with the reciprocating mechanism such that the cam actuating lever cams the reciprocating mechanism between the first and second positions in response to predetermined movement of the handle member.
