A suturing device including an outer bendable body and an inner bendable needle with a freely bendable angle includes a longitudinally extending outer hollow body having a point and a hollow passage and an inner needle portion or part disposed therein. The outer hollow body is constructed and dimensioned to receive a sized suture needle within the hollow passage with slightly close tolerances welded at its base to a point along the hollow body of the outer part and wherein the outer body includes a lower relatively stiff bendable material and an upper portion of relatively malleable material adjacent to and fixed to the lower portion. Further, the outer hollow body is more malleable as it becomes closer to the point.

Bendable suture needle with free varying angle and holder therefor

A surgical mesh of the type used in laparoscopic surgery and repair of inguinal hernias includes a compact roll of planar overlay material of woven fibers. The planar overlay material includes a plurality of outwardly extending integral threads for grasping with a surgical instrument and spreading over a tissue deficiency. In addition, a plurality of integral threads are provided for transfixation of said overlay material to surrounding tissue. Further, the woven fibers are selected from the group consisting of nylon, polyester, polypropylene fibers and mixtures thereof and in which the outwardly extending threads for grasping have a length of about &#xbd; to 1 cm and the transfixation threads have a length of about 3 cm to 4 cm. In addition, the grasping threads extend outwardly from both sides of the mesh while the transfixation threads extend outwardly from only one side thereof.
