<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a newly-configurated surgical stapling device. <P>SOLUTION: The surgical stapling device (10) is disclosed for the treatment of internal hemorrhoids. The surgical stapling device includes a handle portion (12), an elongated body portion (14) and a head portion (16) including an anvil assembly (30) and a shell assembly (31). The head portion includes an anvil assembly including a tiltable anvil which tilts automatically after the device has been fired and unapproximated. The tiltable anvil provides a reduced anvil profile to reduce trauma during removal of the device after the anastomoses procedure has been performed. The anvil assembly of the stapling device may include an approximation mechanism having an anvil retainer including an elongated distal extension dimensioned to be telescopingly received within a longitudinal bore of an anvil center rod of the anvil assembly. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
