Abstract
A system for passing suture into and through soft tissue that includes a multi-function jaw mechanism, and a needle adapted to engage a suture and pierce into the soft tissue. The multi-function jaw mechanism adapted to capture sutures, soft tissue and surgical instruments and devices, provide highly reliable suture loading and retrieval with minimal visual guidance, and measure stitch placement positions in the soft tissue in a confined surgical site for accurate and precise provision of complex stitch patterns. The system also includes system control means for synchronizing articulation of the multi-function jaw mechanism, articulation of the needle, and engagement of the suture by the needle and release of the suture therefrom.
