The multilayer buttress is suitable for use in combination with a surgical stapling apparatus, and assists in sealing of tissue to prevent the leakage of fluids and gases. The surgical stapling apparatus includes a staple cartridge having a surface with at least one opening through which a staple may be ejected.
