摘要：<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an endoscopic suturing instrument configured to apply a suture continuously to the tissue. <P>SOLUTION: A surgical suturing instrument (10) includes a suture housing (24), a needle (28) mounted within the suture housing so that it can move along an arcuate path, and a drive assembly (30) operably associated with the needle for controlling movement of the needle with a suture secured thereto along the arcuate path in a manner of facilitating the application of the suture to the tissue. The drive assembly includes a friction camming member (38) that moves along the suture housing under the control of a drive mechanism, wherein actuation of the drive mechanism causes the friction camming member to selectively engage and disengage the needle causing the needle to move along the arcuate path. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
