A surgical device intended to be used in conjunction with a robotic surgical system, to grasp a suture needle when pushing/pulling the needle and attached suture through tissue for suturing during a robotic endoscopic (e.g., laparoscopic) procedure. It has a long slender shaft with a distal forceps-like gripping mechanism and a proximal housing intended to be connected directly to an arm of the robotic surgical system. This is a reusable device.
