Abstract
An endoscopic surgery system includes a plurality of staples and an endoscopic applicator having a staple cartridge for loading transversely arranged staples. The staples have a central region and two side limbs and the applicator has a mobile body for holding a staple to be applied, the staple being arranged in a transverse plane, and for ensuring the deformation of same by bending in relation to the axis of symmetry of the staple.
Claims11
An endoscopic surgery system comprising firstly a plurality of staples and secondly an endoscopic applicator comprising a loader receiving said staples which are transversely disposed, said staples have a central zone and two lateral arms, said applicator including pointed ends holding a staple in a transverse plane, said pointed ends providing deformation by folding with respect to a symmetry axis of said staple.
An endoscopic applicator comprising a loader for transversely disposed staples, a movable member having a means for holding a staple disposed in a transverse plane with respect to said holding means in order to provide deformation thereof by folding with respect to a symmetry axis of said staple, a control member consisting of including a rigid hollow tubular sleeve and a rigid rod sliding longitudinally inside said sleeve having a guide channel with a complementary cross section.
An endoscopic surgery staple comprising two arms connected by a connecting zone, a distal surface of which has a form complementary to that of a proximal surface of a stabilisation stub.
