The drive assembly includes a friction camping member that moves along the suture housing under the control of the drive mechanism, wherein actuation of the drive mechanism causes the friction camping member to selectively engage and disengage the needle causing the needle to move about the arcuate path.1/36 412 16 2810 222 48 18 50 17 FIG. 1 2 46 16 10 28 18 1 17 2 20 FIG. 2 24
