摘要

SURGICAL STAPLING CONTROL MEANS AND STOP A surgical stapling control means has been invented. The control means comprises a handle; a trigger pivotally attached and on compression internal to said handle; a staple forming means contained in the forward portion of said handle; a pad contained on the rearward portion of said handle; a retainer attached to the rearward portion of said trigger to coordinate with said pad; at least one guide pin attached to the initial end of said retainer; and guide means adjacent the rearward portion of said handle to coordinate with and provide tension to said guide pin. An improved surgical stapling instrument has also been invented. The improvement comprises a stop contained on the rearward top portion of a stapling instrument trigger. The stop arrests the compression force of the trigger into the handle.
