PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a novel surgical stapling device.SOLUTION: A surgical stapling device comprises a plurality of cartridges that are coupled together to form a barrel that is rotatably supported within a housing, each of the cartridges defining a plurality of staple pockets supporting a plurality of staples. The barrel is positioned within the housing to align a first one of the plurality of cartridges with an anvil to eject the plurality of staples from the first cartridge upon movement of a pusher through a first firing stroke and can subsequently rotate within the housing to align a second one of the plurality of cartridges with the anvil to eject the plurality of staples from the second cartridge upon movement of the pusher within the barrel through a second firing stroke.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 |
