摘要

Described herein is an instrument, comprising hinge -joined a staple body and a supporting body, both having longitudinal jaws. The staple body has staple magazines and a staple ejector. The supporting body has a die for the staples to bend when suturing. A recess is provided at the base of one of the jaws on the side facing the hinge joint interconnecting the instrument bodies, said recess being adapted to define a free space between the jaws when brought together. The jaws are adapted for springy elastic spacers to mount and hold thereto with a possibility of subsequent releasing therefrom, said spacers being arranged on the side facing the inner compressing surfaces of the jaws so as to be stitched up together with the organs being sutured.
