Abstract: Disclosed is a device that uses suture to close various layers of tissue quickly and precisely. The device and methods enhance the efficiency, consistency and cost-effectiveness of traditional hand-suturing without compromising cosmetic or wound healing outcomes. Adjustable instruments on either side of the device are applied to opposing sides of the desired layer of tissue to approximate the edges of the tissue to be closed. The user may control the delivery of a single stitch or a series of stitches at an adjustable interval to the desired layer of tissue. An instrument may perform the stitch or series of stitches as the operator guides the device along the tissue opening. Once the device has delivered the appropriate stitch(es), the user may remove excess suture material and release the tissue from the instruments on either side of the incision and the process may be repeated as necessary to close a wound.
