    Abstract: According to one aspect, a medical device including a needle configured for use in suturing tissue. The needle may include a cylindrical body having a longitudinal axis extending between first and second ends of the cylindrical body. The needle may also include a lumen extending through the cylindrical body transverse to the longitudinal axis. The needle may further include a first end portion at the first end of the cylindrical body. The first end portion may include a sharp point configured to pierce tissue. An outer surface of the cylindrical body may define a first recess in communication with an opening of the lumen and configured to receive an end of a suture.

    Abstract: According to one aspect, a medical device including a shaft having a proximal and a distal end. The medical device may also include a handle coupled to the proximal end of the shaft. The medical device may further include a body at the distal end of the shaft. The body may have a wall defining a lumen within the body, and the lumen may have a longitudinal axis. The wall may include a protrusion at the distal end of the body, and the protrusion may be defined by a gap in the wall and may have a sharp portion configured to grasp tissue. The gap may extend proximally from the distal end of the body, and edges of the wall defining the gap may be transverse to the longitudinal axis.
