AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

For example, staples and other objects and materials may lack the natural flexibility of the tissue in which they are implanted and thus cannot withstand the varying intra-tissue pressures at the implantation site
This can lead to undesired tearing of tissue at or near the suture site, and thus leakage

Abstract

Stapling assemblies for use with a surgical stapler and methods for manufacturing the same are provided. Three dimensional adjuncts for use with a surgical stapling assembly and methods for manufacturing the same are also provided.

Description

technical field [0001] Three-dimensional appendages and methods of making the same are provided. Background technique [0002] Surgical staplers are used in surgery to close openings in tissue, blood vessels, catheters, shunts, or other objects or body parts involved in a particular procedure. These openings may be naturally occurring, such as passages in blood vessels or internal organs like the stomach, or they may be formed by the surgeon during surgery, such as by puncturing tissue or blood vessels to create bypasses or anastomoses or by Cutting the tissue during the suturing procedure. [0003] Some surgical staplers require the surgeon to select the proper staple with the proper staple height for the tissue being stapled. For example, a surgeon may choose tall staples for use with thick tissue and short staples for use with thin tissue. However, in some cases, the tissue being stapled does not have a consistent thickness, so the staples cannot achieve the desired fi...
