Abstract: The invention provides a device for delivering surgical sutures. Significantly, the device is capable of delivering sutures of any size stitch width or stitch length. For minimally invasive surgeries such as laparoscopic surgery or endoscopic surgery, the device allows for delivering sutures of a stitch width and depth that is not constrained by the diameter of the shaft of the instrument. Further, the device provides flexibility that improves the maneuverability and degrees of freedom in the range of motion in difficult-to-reach surgical sites. For example, devices of the invention provide for delivering sutures at an angle substantially offset from the axis of the instrument. This flexibility contributes to providing more secure sutures at a range of challenging surgical sites.
