Surgical stapler for skin and fascia
TLDR
In this article, a gas-powered instrument for applying surgical staples to effect the joining of disunited skin or fascia is presented, which is powered by a gas under pressure originating from a gas filled tank.Abstract:
An instrument for applying surgical staples to effect the joining of disunited skin or fascia. The instrument of the present invention is powered by a gas under pressure originating from a gas filled tank, positioned within a housing and adapted to ensure that the introduction of the tank and removal thereof may be easily and quietly accomplished without danger of injury to the operator. The surgical staples are carried in one of two types of cartridge assemblies, the first and smaller being designed for the application of staples to external skin and the second and larger being designed for the application of staples to the more tender internal fascia. The cartridge is held in the body of the instrument by means of a spring which greatly facilitates the introduction of the cartridge. The instrument is further provided with means for preventing more than one driving operation per trigger activation, means for returning the stapledriving mechanisms to their pre-stapling positions, and a novel power unit. Staple cartridges are also disclosed which ensure proper initial phasing between staple-advancing screws, proper alignment of the screws before insertion into the instrument, and means for preventing accidental ejection of staples during transit.read more
