Abstract: A needle driver can include a first jaw hosting a first shaft and a second jaw hosting a second shaft. The first shaft hosts a first roller and a first set of teeth. The second shaft hosts a second roller and a second set of teeth. The second jaw moves relative to the first jaw between an open position and a closed position. The first set of teeth meshes with the second set of teeth when the second jaw is in the closed position such that (a) the first set of teeth can drive the second set of teeth and (b) the first roller and the second roller can drive a needle therebetween when the first set of teeth drives the second set of teeth.

Abstract: A rotational driver that comprises a interactive portion, wherein each interactive portion comprises a first extended member and a second extended member, a rotational system and a linear motion system, wherein the rotational driver permits a left or right handed surgeons to perform the surgical suturing procedure in a less complicated and more secure way by allowing more control over the angled suturing needle and the area to be stitched, even when the suturing area is small, deep, and/or restricted. Also the rotational driver comprises several configurations at the interactive portion ends to provide selected angles for the needle during the suturing procedure.

Abstract: Disclosed is a device, comprising a handle, a rotatable shaft, a sleeve comprising a first curved, hollow, stainless steel (magnetized) tube and a second curved, hollow, stainless steel (magnetized) tube, wherein the first tube is positioned on a first side of the shaft and the second tube is positioned on a second side of the shaft, wherein the first tube comprises a sharp tip and the second tube comprises a sharp tip, with a reciprocating shuttle and a curved needle positioned in the sleeve, wherein the sleeve having an inner diameter large enough to accommodate the needle and shuttle, and wherein the shuttle is positioned between the sleeve and the needle. Rotation of the shaft moves the shuttle which in turn moves the needle through the sleeve.

Abstract: This disclosure enables various threading devices (e.g., suturing devices) that can sequentially send a plurality of carriers (e.g., needle caps, sleeves) to an object (e.g., animate, inanimate, human tissue, organ tissue, heart tissue) or sequentially receive a plurality of carriers (e.g., needle caps, sleeves) from an object (e.g., animate, inanimate, human tissue, organ tissue, heart tissue). For example, some threading devices can sequentially send some carriers in a relatively rapid succession or some threading devices can sequentially receive some carriers in a relatively rapid succession.

Abstract: Disclosed is a suturing needle having a thread attachment portion and a ramp portion comprising a tapered portion extending from a proximal end of the needle to cover at least a portion of a suture thread swaged in the thread attachment portion. The tapered portion of the ramp portion provides a smooth transition from a diameter of the suture thread to a diameter of the needle body. The tapered transition portion allows for engaging the suture needle on rollers of a rotational needle driver in one smooth motion. The suturing needle includes a hollow flexible extension component having a distal end and a proximal end, the distal end connected to the proximal end of the thread attachment component, and the proximal end attached to the distal end of the tapered extension ramp portion. The suturing needle can include a combination of flexible and non-flexible sections and/or a combination of straight and curved sections.

Abstract: Disclosed is a suturing needle having a flexible portion extending from a proximal end of the needle to provide flexure of the needle. Various designs for the flexible portion of the suturing needle are provided.

Abstract: A suturing needle having a substantially circular cross-section and a non-smooth profile, and methods of suturing with the needle using a rotational needle driver. The profile of the needle may include a plurality of indentations that form protruding ridges along a longitudinal length of the needle. These ridges may match grooves within rollers of the needle driver. The suture needle may further include a tapered transition portion extending from a proximal end of the needle to cover at least a portion of a suture thread transition portion on the needle. The tapered transition portion is flexible and provides a smooth transition from the suture thread diameter to the needle diameter, so that the rollers may engage the needle in one smooth motion.
