The medial portion includes an axially aligned groove (46) leading to a blind hole into which a surgical suture (48) is fixedly attached. Also disclosed is a suture needle holder (10) which includes an elongated tube (31) having an internal cavity, a distal rounded surface (35) with an external groove (36) of a depth to retain a suture therein. The suture needle holder also includes a pair of wings (37) adjacent the distal end wherein each wing is pivotally attached to the tube at one end of the wing, and has a needle holder (38) at the other end of the wing. The suture needle holder further includes a control element (32) connected to the pair of wings for controlling the pivoting motion thereof.
