An endoscopic suturing device, comprising an elongate hollow tube (10) one end of which carries a combination of a thread engaging and loop forming member (18) and a thread or needle clamping member (11). An actuating member (12) at the other end of the tube (10) engages an elongate actuating rod (15) extending through the tube and is coupled to the thread or needle clamping member, whereby axial movement of the actuating member against the biasing action of a rail spring (21) causes said actuating rod to actuate said thread or needle clamping member. The device is capable of disassembling for cleaning and sterilisation. |
