Abstract

A compression staple insertion kit includes first and second elongate handles, each including a handle arm having a proximal end and a distal end, distal from the proximal end. A boss extend is outwardly from the distal end. A central longitudinal axis extends between the arms. The handle arms are pivotally attached to each other at the distal ends at a pivot, which extends along the central longitudinal axis. A slider is slidingly attached to the handle. The slider is movable between a staple securing position at the distal end, wherein proximal ends are biased toward each other and a staple release position toward the proximal end, wherein the proximal ends are biased away from each other. A staple is disposed over the bosses.

Dependent claims

A compression staple insertion kit comprising:

an elongate handle comprising:
a first handle arm having:
a first proximal end;
a first distal end, distal from the first proximal end;
a first stopper between the first proximal end and the first distal end;
and
a first boss extending outwardly from the first distal end;
a second handle arm having:
a second proximal end;
a second distal end, distal from the second proximal end;
and
a second boss extending outwardly from the second distal end;
and
a central longitudinal axis extending between the first handle arm and the second handle arm,
wherein the first handle arm is attached to the second handle arm at the first proximal end and the second proximal end;
a slider slidingly attached to the handle, the slider movable between:
a staple securing position at the first distal end, wherein the first distal end and the second distal end are biased away from each other and the first boss is biased away from the second boss;
and
a staple release position toward the first proximal end,
wherein the stopper stops proximal movement of the slider, and
wherein the first distal end and the second distal end are biased toward from each other and the first boss is biased toward the second boss;
and
a staple disposed around the first boss and the second boss, the staple having a first arm, a second arm, and a bridge connecting the first arm and the second arm, wherein the first boss is at a connection between the first arm and the bridge and wherein the second boss is at a connection between the second arm and the bridge.
