Needle-suture combinations are disclosed that include two surgical needles, each including an end having a suture-receiving aperture, and two sutures attached to the ends of each of the two needles. Also disclosed are methods for using the needle-suture combination, the method including passing through a first tissue and a second tissue two needle-suture combinations each having first and second needles connected to first and second sutures; pulling the sutures therethrough; disconnecting the needles from the sutures, thereby providing free ends on the sutures; tying the free ends of the first sutures of the first needle-suture combination together; and tying the free end of the second suture of the first needle-suture combination with the second suture of the second needle-suture combination. With the apparatus and/or method, elements joined together may form a more hemostatic seal.
