In accordance with the present invention there is provided a device for assisting a physician in suture procedures, wherein the physician is using a needle and a suture attached thereto. The device includes a handle for holding the device. Extending distally from the handle are a pair of arms, right and left. The arms have proximal ends attached to the handle. The distal ends of the arms have grippers attached thereto, for gripping and releasing a needle. The device includes at least one means for moving the distal ends of the arms closely adjacent to one another so as to pass the needle from one gripper to the other. Thereafter, the device is able to move the distal ends of the arms further apart from one another, without any substantial movement of the needle with respect to the handle.
