Abstract
A one-handed automatic suturing device with a needle-transfer of a double-ended needle includes a first and a second jaw element that are movable in relation to each other between an open position and a closed position. The first jaw element has an alternating mechanism for alternating, each time the jaw elements are moved to the closed position, between: a retaining position, wherein the alternating mechanism is configured to retain a first end of the double-ended needle with a first retention strength; and a releasing position, wherein the alternating mechanism is configured for releasing said needle. The second jaw element has a holding mechanism for retaining and releasing a second end of the double-ended needle; wherein the holding mechanism is configured to retain the second end of the double-ended needle with a second retention strength that is lower than the first retention strength.
