<p>In apparatus (10) for applying a two-part surgical fastener (60, 80) including a fastener part (60) having at least one prong (64) and a retainer part (80) having an aperture (82) for receiving and retaining the distal end of the prong (64), the retainer part (80) is initially held securely to the apparatus (10) by contact with a lug (44) extending into the aperture (82). When the two parts (60, 80) of the fastener are forced together, the distal end of the prong (64) pushes the lug out of the aperture (82), thereby releasing the retainer part (80) from the apparatus (10). </p> |
