Suture delivery device for suturing tissue

A suture delivery device for suturing tissue comprising:

• an elongated deployment member;
• a counterforce member disposed towards a distal end of the elongated deployment member, wherein the counterforce member is configured to transition between a retracted configuration that facilitates the counterforce member entering an incision and a deployed configuration that resists extracting the counterforce member from an incision;
• a compression member disposed towards a proximal end of the elongated deployment member with respect to the counterforce member, wherein the compression member is configured to resist entering an incision, and wherein the compression member and the counterforce member transition automatically between a compressed configuration and an uncompressed configuration;
• a suture catcher disposed towards the distal end of the elongated deployment member, wherein the suture catcher is configured to transition between a retracted configuration that facilitates the suture catcher entering an incision and a deployed configuration that facilitates catching a suture;
• a first needle track extending through the compression member and oriented to direct a needle advanced through the first needle track into engagement with a first area of the suture catcher when in the deployed configuration;
• and
• a second needle track extending through the compression member and oriented to direct a needle advanced through the second needle track into engagement with a second area of the suture catcher when in the deployed configuration, wherein the first area of the suture catcher when in the deployed configuration and the second area of the suture catcher when in the deployed configuration are situated on the suture catcher to allow their placement on opposite sides of an incision.
