Abstract
The suture passer of the invention has a pair of opposed jaws. The lower jaw is formed by a hollow tube having its end turned upwardly to face the upper jaw.

An upper jaw is hinged to the tube and provides a guide for a needle. The handles are used for the surgeon to grasp the device and to manipulate the jaws.
