Abstract
A dual-use suturing device for suturing a wound induced from a celioscope surgery is formed by a needle positioning seat, an auxiliary positioning device, and an upper cover buckled to the needle positioning seat. The positioning pieces at the top of the auxiliary positioning device are buckled to the embedding groove at a lower end of the needle positioning seat. The guide holes of the needle positioning seat have a tapered inner surface. Hollowed portions of the guide trenches provide clamping spaces at two sides of the auxiliary positioning device. Then two clean auxiliary positioning devices are used to clamp the wire needle and hooked needle so that the hand of the doctor can pinch the needles. The non-hollowed portions at the upper side of the guide trenches of the auxiliary positioning device are exactly formed as resisting portions for resisting against the needles.
