A suturing device includes an elongated sheath and a suturing assembly. The elongated sheath has a working end for insertion through a working channel in an endoscope and has an inner passage. The suturing assembly includes an elongated flexible base member, a first suturing arm and a second suturing arm. The suturing arms each have a proximal end interconnected with the elongated base member and an opposite distal end. A needle receiver is disposed at the distal end of each suturing arm. The suturing arms are movable between an open position wherein the distal ends are spaced apart by a first distance and a closed position wherein the distal ends are spaced apart by a second distance less than the first distance.
