Abstract
A suturing apparatus for connecting tissue edges using a single-thread overcast stitch arrangement incorporates an arc needle and a forked rocking gripper provided at an end of a gripper rod that passes through an aperture in the front wall of the apparatus housing. The needle and the gripper are driven in a rocking motion and cooperate to form the stitches with the arc needle transversely piercing the tissue edges and the gripper being displaceable along an arcuate path over the tissue edges. The gripper rod passes through the front wall of the apparatus housing at which it is connected through a universal joint. The gripper rod is displaceable inside the apparatus housing along a path that is symmetrical to the arcuate path of the rocking gripper.
