<p>A surgical stapling system includes a staple cartridge (30) having a pair of generally coextensive cartridge bodies (36, 38) adapted to fit within opposed jaws of a stapling instrument (210) and one or more staples (18) carried by a first of the cartridge bodies in opposed relation to apertures (60) or anvils formed in a second of the cartridge bodies. The cartridge bodies are preferably and advantageously made of bio-absorbable materials so that they can be left in place within the body and so that another staple cartridge can be advanced between the opposed jaws of the stapling instrument without the need of having to withdraw the stapling instrument from the body.</p> |
