Abstract:
A surgical device for suturing body lumen is described, as well as methods for suturing tissue employing the surgical device. The device can include a body having a shaft and a foot for insertion into an opening in a body lumen. The body can include tissue ports between the shaft and the foot configured to receive tissue of the body lumen surrounding the opening. The foot can include a suture secured to needle capture devices. Needle can be advanced within the shaft, through tissue within the tissue ports, and into the needle capture devices. The needle capture devices cuffs can then be withdrawn, thereby harvesting the suture, which can then be used to close the opening in the body lumen.
