Abstract

Suturing apparatus including means to propel 9,10 a needle along a closed loop, typically a circular path and arranged so that the needle 11 may be caused to pass through tissue as it travels around the path thereby to suture the tissue. The needle may be arc shaped. The means for propulsion may include rollers 9,10, and/or a belt. The apparatus may be arranged to be insertable into a body cavity through a porthole to facilitate suturing inside the body cavity. The apparatus can be provided in a cartridge that can be removably mounted on a support 1. A suitable support includes an elongate member to facilitate insertion into a body cavity, and a drive means 7 for driving the cartridge.
