Claim:
A digital suture fixation system comprising: a suture line coupled to a capsule; a delivery device comprising a handle having an actuator, a shaft coupled to the handle, and a head coupled to the shaft; and a band attached to the head, the band attachable to a finger to allow the finger to direct the head to an intracorporeal landmark; wherein the head comprises a proximal portion housing a needle and a distal end spaced apart from the proximal portion by a throat, the proximal portion of the head providing a needle exit port that is aligned with a longitudinal axis of the shaft and the distal end defining a cavity that is offset in a radial direction from the longitudinal axis of the shaft and sized to maintain the capsule, the actuator configured to move the needle across the throat to engage the capsule disposed in the cavity and remove the capsule from the cavity.
