Embodiment Construction

[0039] See attached picture, Figures 1 to 4 The basic concept and function of the surgical stapling instrument according to the invention are illustrated with the aid of an embodiment.

[0040] exist figure 1 As can be seen in the figure, the corrugated staple forming surface 2 (having a circular or circular cross-section) of the nail anvil 1 and the corrugated end surface 6 (also having a circular or circular cross-section) of the staple cartridge device 5 can be adapted to each other. The connection of the anvil 1 and the cartridge unit 5 is ensured by a shaft 3 rigidly fixed to the anvil 1 and a liftable trocar 4 (which comprises a trocar shaft) housed in the center of the cartridge unit 5 . A knife 7 with a wavy cutting edge is positioned within the cartridge device 5 . Also, the closed two rows of staples along the undulating end face 6 of the cartridge device 5 are shown by short dashed lines.

Abstract

A surgical stapling instrument comprises a staple fastening assembly (1, 5; 24) including a cartridge device (5; 30) which comprises at least one row of staples (72, 77) and a generally wavy first tissue interface (34), and an anvil (1; 32) which is movable relative to the cartridge device (5; 30) and having a generally wavy second tissue interface (36) adapted to cooperate with the first tissue interface (34) of the cartridge device (5; 30) for clamping tissue therebetween and forming the ends (74) of the staples (72, 77) exiting from the cartridge device (5; 30), a staple driving device (60; 90) adapted to drive the staples (72, 77) out of the cartridge device (5; 30) towards the anvil (1; 32), wherein the staples comprise one or more non-symmetrical U-shaped staples (77) having two legs (78) with free pointed ends (74) facing toward the anvil (1; 32) and a transverse basis (79) connecting the legs (78), wherein said basis (79) is inclined with respect to the longitudinal direction (81) of the legs (78), such that the basis (79) has a length greater then its projection on a plane (80) perpendicular to the longitudinal direction (81) of the legs (78).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a surgical stapling instrument which can be used for applying surgical staples to tissue, in particular for performing anastomosis. The present invention also relates to a staple cartridge device and a surgical staple for such a surgical stapling instrument. Background technique [0002] Typically, in the performance of a surgical anastomotic stapling operation, two sections of lumen or tubular tissue, such as intestinal tissue, are joined together by a closed row of staples. During an anastomosis performed with surgical stapling instruments, two lengths of tubular tissue are clamped together between an anvil provided with an array of staple-forming grooves, and a staple holder or cartridge assembly. The staple holder or staple cartridge device is provided with a plurality of staple receiving slots arranged in a closed row or array into which staples are received. The staple pusher is advanced to drive the staples int...
