Abstract: A suturing device, and methods for suturing various sizes of apertures in tissues, are presented. The suturing device has a body with at least one or more adjustable arms that are coupled with catch targets. The arms are coupled with needle guides such that movements of the arms orient the needle guides to direct the needles towards the catch targets. The catch targets are coupled with sutures, such that when the needles reach the targets, they capture and pull the sutures back to the body. By changing the angles at which the arms extend from the body, the catch targets are moved closer to, or farther from, the body, and the suture device is readily configured to suture various sizes of apertures.

Abstract translation: 介绍了一种缝合装置以及缝合组织中不同尺寸孔的方法。 缝合装置具有主体，该主体具有至少一个或多个可调节臂，所述可调节臂与捕捉目标相连接。 臂与针引导件联接，使得臂的运动使针引导件定向成将针引向捕捉目标。 捕获目标与缝合线连接，以便当针到达目标时，捕捉目标并将缝线拉回身体。 通过改变臂从身体延伸的角度，捕获目标被移近或离开身体，并且缝合装置容易地被配置为缝合各种尺寸的孔。
