Abstract
Abstract Described is a surgical stitching instrument of small dimensions which is coupled through drives (13, 14, 15) to remote grippers (10) and which enables sutures and knots to be placed in tissue or in blood-vessel walls using only simple hand movements. Stitching is done with one hand. Backward movement of the needle is controlled by means of a foot-switch (12) coupled to the grippers (10). The free hand is always available to control the stitching head.
