Abstract:
1. A suturing device, comprising: a handle; an elongated body coupled to a distal end of the handle; at least one suture snag that is moveable between a deployed position in which two distal arm portions thereof radially extend away from the elongated body and a retracted position in which the two distal arm portions are disposed within the elongated body, wherein the at least one suture snag is moved between the deployed position and the retracted position via a first actuation mechanism of the handle; and at least one pair of needles moveable to a deployed position in which the at least one pair of needles distally extend from the distal end of the elongated body and a retracted position in which the at least one pair of needles is disposed within the elongated body, each needle including a distal end configured to penetrate through a vessel wall and defining a lumen sized to slidingly receive a suture therethrough, wherein the at least one pair of needles is movable to the deployed position and the retracted position via a second actuation mechanism of the handle.
