Abstract: The present invention is a surgical suturing device that assists in applying an open-looped, pre-knotted suture around a targeted area of application. The surgical suturing device contains a handle, a grasping mechanism, a clamp tube, a pusher tube, a cutter tube, and a pivot arm. A first coupler is positioned on the pivot arm. A second coupler is positioned at the end of the shaft, offset from the pivot arm. A suture knot is fitted over the second coupler, and a strand is connected to the first coupler. When activated, the pivot arm moves into a closed position, thereby encircling the suturing portion and joining the first coupler to the second coupler. Next, the suture knot is pushed forward off the second coupler and tightened up against the suturing portion. The pusher tube slides back, allowing the cutter tube to cut the excess suture cord.
