The invention relates to a suture device, comprising a needle operating device and an elongate housing, wherein the needle operating device is movable in a longitudinal direction with respect to the housing between at least an insertion position and a needle transfer position, wherein the needle operating device comprises: an elongate operating element arranged or to be arranged extending from a distal end of the housing to or near a proximal end of the housing; a needle holder connected at a distal end of the operating element to hold two or more needles, such that the free ends of the needles are directed in proximal direction of the suture device; and a needle protection device, wherein the needle holder is at least partially movably with respect to the needle protection device between at least a protecting position wherein at least the free ends ofthe needles held by the needle holder are shielded by the needle protection device, and a non-protecting position wherein the free ends of the needles non- shielded by the needle protection device, wherein the housing comprises a needle receive device arranged at a distal end of the housing to receive the free ends of the needles when the needle operating device is moved from the insertion position to the needle transfer position, and wherein in at least the insertion position of the needle operating device the needle holder and the needle protection device are spaced from the housing in the longitudinal direction to receive a tissue to be sutured therebetween. |
