Patent
Surgical stapling instrument with mechanical mechanism for limiting maximum tissue compression
TL;DR: In this paper, various forms of surgical instruments are disclosed, including a cartridge supporting assembly for operably supporting a staple cartridge therein, and a compression limiting assembly that interacts with anvil closure assembly to prevent further travel of the anvil in the proximal direction toward the supporting assembly when the predetermined amount of compression has been attained.

Frederick E. Shelton,Chester O. Baxter,Taylor W. Aronhalt,Charles J. Scheib,Todd Phillip Omaits +4 more
TL;DR: In this article, a group of inventions relates to medical equipment, namely to surgical instruments, and, in particular, to surgical incision and suturing instruments and used cassettes therein with staples.
Patent
Elliptical intraluminal surgical stapler for anastomosis
Federico Bilotti,George M. Pomeroy,Todd Phillip Omaits,Laszlo Csiky,Mark A. Neurohr,Alessandro Pastorelli +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, a surgical stapler includes a head in which a plurality of staples are stored, and the head includes a facing surface obliquely oriented relative to a longitudinal axis of the head creating an elliptical staple line.
Patent
A surgical stapling instrument.
Federico Bilotti,Laszlo Csiky,Michael A. Murray,Todd Phillip Omaits,Alessandro Pastorelli,Ii William B. Weisenburgh +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, a surgical stapling instrument (1) comprises a staple fastening assembly (4) in the distal region of said instrument, including a cartridge device (8), which comprises at least one closed row (17, 18) of staples and defines a wavy distal end surface (14), and an anvil (9) which defines a Wavy proximal staple forming surface (20) substantially matching the di erent end surface.
Patent
Surgical stapling instrument with mechanical indicator to show levels of tissue compression
TL;DR: In this article, an anvil closure assembly is constructed to selectively move the anvil in a proximal direction toward the cartridge supporting assembly to enable a portion of tissue to be clamped between a cartridge supported by the cartridge and anvil under a predetermined amount of compression.
