Description

RELATED APPLICATIONS

[0001] This application is related to U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11 / 186,704 filed on Jul. 20, 2005.STATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

[0002] N / A BACKGROUND OF INVENTION

[0003] 1. Field of the Invention

[0004] The present invention relates generally to a surgical suturing device, more specifically, to a ergonomic Pull-Locking Rotational Action Needle Driver which enhance the tissue suturing procedure, particularly the one performed on restricted, deep and less accessible locations, by incorporating a pull-locking mechanism that prevents problems associated with loss of needle control during the suturing procedure and the ones associated with prior needle driver's handedness. It also enhances the control surgeons has over the suturing needle by enabling a rotational movement while driving the suturing needle through the tissue that permits to place the needle in the right location in order to continue the subsequent steps of the...
