Abstract
An instrument and method for suturing anatomical tissue with a suture needle includes a barrel having two needle holders therein which can be manipulated from a proximal end of the barrel to cause the needle to pass through tissue and to pass the needle from one needle holder to the other. The needle holders are operative to move the needle through a path in a plane not perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the barrel. The angle of the plane with respect to the longitudinal axis can be adjusted.
