SURGICAL STAPLE AND ENDOSCOPIC STAPLER

摘要

An improved surgical staple for use in surgical procedures. The surgical staple has a base portion and two arms extending from the base portion, each arm having a distal end having an inwardly directed bevelled surface. A first bend is formed in each arm such that the distal ends of the arms are curved inwardly toward each other. The staple may be crimped such that the distal ends thereof move toward each other such that the bevelled surfaces are in confronting relation to decrease the probability of the staple being inadvertently extracted.
