#$%^&*AU2016273871B220180628.pdf#####ABSTRACT A surgical suturing device, comprises an arced needle comprising a length of suture and an elongate shaft comprising a proximal end and a distal end. A needle driver is provided on the distal end of the elongate shaft. The needle driver is operable to engage and rotate the needle in a circular path, the needle driver reciprocating between a drive stroke wherein the needle is rotated and a return stroke. An actuator is provided on the proximal end of the elongate shaft and a drive rod in the elongate shaft, the drive rod operably connected to the needle driver. A mechanical linkage connects the actuator to the drive rod, the mechanical linkage comprising a force limiting spring.
