Zusammenfassung: | A suturing needle disposed in a deployable needle track. The needle has an arcuate body with leading tip and trailing end, a notch along an inner radial region needle and another notch having a projection that lies on a plane of a central curved axis of the needle, with the notches intersecting. The main and tail portions have round and square cross sections, respectively. A drive pawl is connected to a third notch at a trailing end. An arcuate keel along the needle's length stabilizes its movement in the suturing device. |
