Patent abstract
A stitching device useful for implanting suture in tissue, for example, cartilaginous tissue. The device has a frame and an elongated tubular member mounted thereto. A suture capture needle having a suture capture opening extends from a distal end of the tube. A needle cannula having a lumen is slidably mounted in a passage of the tubular member. Actuation of a trigger member pivotally mounted to the frame moves a distal end of the cannula needle and a section of suture contained in a lumen in the cannula needle through the suture capture opening causing the suture section to be retained in the opening.
