DEVICES FOR SEALING STAPLES IN TISSUE

摘要

Devices and methods for applying sealants to surgical instruments are described herein. In one embodiment, a surgical device is described that can include at least one nozzle (4944) formed at a proximal end of the device that is configured to receive a sealant, as well as an applicator (4897, 4932) formed at a distal end of the device that is configured to deliver the sealant received by the at least one nozzle. The applicator can be configured to interface with at least one of a first and second jaw of a surgical stapler such that the sealant delivered from the applicator can be deposited into a plurality of openings formed in the surgical stapler.
