<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fibrin injection mechanism for use in combination with an anastomosing and stapling attachment for an electromechanical device driver. <P>SOLUTION: The fibrin injection mechanism includes a cylindrical dispensing chamber adjacent to the cylindrical blade of the attachment and containing a sac filled with fibrin, a plurality of channels extending within the blade communicating between the dispensing chamber and the cutting edge of the blade, such that when the turning drive shaft is activated, the staple driver of the attachment moves forward to push a plurality of staples through corresponding staple ports and against the anvil of the attachment to pass through and staple together the target tissue, while the blade driver of the attachment moves forward to cut the unwanted residual tissue (post stapling). <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT |
