Disclosed is a suture delivery device for endoscopically passing a suture into biological tissue. The device can include two hypodermic needles that can be manipulated via controls on a handle of the device in order to pass a suture from one needle to the other. For example, the device can include a first needle coupled to at least one loop member that, when deployed from the first needle, provides a target through which a second needle of the device can deliver the suture. Once the second needle intersects the loop member, the user can advance a length of suture out through a distal end of the second needle. The loop member can then be retracted into the first needle, thereby grabbing and securing the suture in the process.
