Abstract

An automated needle holder and suturing device comprising: an arcuate jaw member with an operative frontal open sector, said arcuate jaw member comprising a curvature defined by a body such that said curvature is in correlation with the curvature of a curved needle adapted to be used with said device, said arcuate jaw member comprising a slotted guide for said curved needle to be located and guided through said slotted guide; at least a curved needle adapted to be angularly displaced along the slotted guide of the arcuate jaw member; at least a needle mover assembly adapted to engage with said needle in a frictional manner; at least a piston element adapted to be linearly slide-able along its longitudinal axis, said piston element being triggered by at least a trigger assembly, in that a first trigger action causes said piston to move in an operative backward direction and a second trigger action causes said piston to move in an operative forward direction; at least a biasing element with an operative proximal end and an operative distal end, said operative proximal end of said biasing element being coupled with said piston element, said biasing element being linearly slide-able as well as angularly displaceable as per said piston element movement; and at least a plunger with an operative proximal end and an operative distal end with a pivoting point in between.
