Surgical Staple For Clamping Biological Tissue

Abstract

Disclosed is a surgical staple (1) comprising a first jaw (2) and a second jaw (4) designed to pivot relative to each other about a pivot axis (X) in such a way as to clamp biological tissue, in which the first jaw (2) comprises a plurality of teeth (14) suitable for being in contact with the biological tissue clamped by the first jaw (2) and the second jaw (4), the plurality of teeth (14) comprising: a first tooth (14a) having a first surface (28a) that is inclined relative to the pivot axis (X) in a cutting plane parallel to the pivot axis (X) and passing through the first tooth (14a), a second tooth (14b) having a second surface (28b) that is inclined relative to the pivot axis (X), the first surface (28a) and the second surface (28b) being arranged to intersect in a cross-sectional view of the first jaw (2) according to the cutting plane, in which the first tooth (14a) further comprises: a third surface (32a) that is inclined relative to the pivot axis (X), the third surface (32a) being connected to the first surface (28a) and/or to the second surface (28a), and a fourth surface (34a) that is inclined relative to the pivot axis (X), the third surface (32a) and the fourth surface (34a) forming two slopes opposite each other relative to a vertex of the first tooth (14a).
