A wound closure device includes a shaft, a needle, and a housing. The needle includes a first leg portion coupled to a distal end of the shaft, a curved portion, and a second leg portion including a needled end portion terminating at a needle tip. The housing includes a first channel slidingly engaged with the elongated body of the shaft and a second channel slidingly engageable with the second leg portion of the needle. The second channel terminates at an opening defined within a notched section defined in a proximal portion of the housing. The needle is movable to a covered position in which the needle tip is disposed within the second channel of the housing, an advanced position in which the needle tip is disposed distal to the housing, and a retracted position in which the needle tip is disposed within the notched section of the housing.
