Abstract
A machine, and method of using, constructed and configured for automatic continuous suturing for reduced or minimized scarring and reduced suturing time, including a helical shaped needle, a hook, and a holding arm. The needle is used to provide for substantially planar stitching adjoining edges side by side. The hook is used to manipulate the stitching in automatic coordination with the needle so as to allow for continuous stitching. The holding arm is used in automatic coordination with the hook. The coordination and synchronization of these components provide for continuous planar stitches which adjoin edges side by side.
