A suture tie device for suturing bodily tissue, comprises an elongate member comprised of first and second leg members, each of the leg members having a proximal portion and a distal portion having a tissue-engaging portion which terminates at a distal end, the respective proximal portions being pivotably connected to one another to permit relative displacement of the leg members, chacterised in that, in response to a force applied against the distal ends of the leg members, the distal ends are bendable from their respective proximal portions such that the distal ends approximate one another, to form a suture loop, prior to relative pivotable displacement of the leg members, to tension the loop.
