Chirurgisches Naehgeraet zum Einnaehen von Geweben und Organen mit Metallklammern

摘要

A surgical instrument for suturing tissues and organs with metal staples incorporates a supporting body which at one of its ends carries a supporting jaw which has a flat area on which three parallel rows of depressions are provided, adapted for the ends of the staple legs to bend, two of said three rows serving for applying a double-stitch suture to all the layers of the tissue being sutured, the remaining row is for the application of a single-stitch suture to the upper layer of that tissue. Part of the supporting jaw carrying said one row of depressions is made detachable. The instrument has a staple body, having a hollow head into which is inserted a staple magazine, and staple ejectors for the staples to be driven out therefrom, as well as actuators for an independent motion of the staple ejectors and the staple body. The instrument is capable if application of both a double-stitch suture with subsequent invagination thereof and the application of a single-stitch suture, and a single-stitch suture alone.
