Abstract: The present invention relates to micro-sewing devices, specifically a micro-sewing device for percutaneous, endoscopic, laparoscopic and minimally invasive surgical procedures for suturing in small areas. The device allows for sewing-off and stitching in either direction, in very tight spaces.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a micro sewing device for percutaneous, endoscopic, laporscopic and minimally invasive surgical procedures for suturing in very small internal body spaces. The device is of cylindrically specific design to provide suturing in the small spaces available.

Abstract: The present invention discloses an apparatus for a hypodermic stitching needle, one in which the hypodermic hollow tube has an insert slot for a thread insertion, thread which extends through the inside hypodermic tubular channel to a beveled tip. The hollow needle channel protects the suture from tear and the needle tip provide increased thread control to the needle user.

Abstract: One or more workpieces are positioned on the outer surface of a mandril which has a first longitudinal slot oriented in a longitudinal direction. A lift finger is disposed in the first longitudinal slot in a rest position and configured to be lifted out of the first longitudinal slot in a lift position to lift a portion of the workpieces outwardly relative to the outer surface of the mandril. A pinching device is used to pinch the lifted portion of the workpieces, which may be stitched with a stitching device. The mandril is movable in the longitudinal direction to feed the workpieces. The mandril includes a second longitudinal slot for housing a feed roller shaft, which protrudes from the second longitudinal slot to contact the workpieces. The feed roller shaft is rotatable to rotate the workpieces relative to the outer surface of the mandril. An alignment device is provided for alignment the workpieces and stabilizing the workpieces for precise processing.
