Abstract
Described herein is a device that may be used in various applications, such as medical applications, and, particularly in laparoscopic procedures, to manipulate and/or introduce objects within or into the body. In one embodiment of the invention, a device includes a cannula with a handle that remains exterior to the body and an extendable member on a portion of the device that may be inserted into the body. The handle, which controls the extendable member, may be moved in an axial direction to extend or retract the extendable member from the interior of the cannula. It may also be rotated to swivel the extendable member. Furthermore, the extendable member may include at least one hole that may be used to, for example, grasp a surgical suture or suture needle. Thus, the device may be used to introduce such objects into the body and manipulate them therein.
