摘要

abstract a circular stapler apparatus for stapling tissue includes a staple and pledget assembly and a circular staple head operable to drive staples toward an anvil. a staple of the staple and pledget assembly has a pair of legs disposed substantially perpendicular to a crown of the staple in a first position. the pair of legs is operable to advance against a pocket in the anvil to form a staple with bent legs. the staple and pledget assembly includes the staple and a pledget configured to receive the pair of legs of the staple. the pledget comprises a bioabsorbable material. the pledget is configured to advance distal ends of the pair of legs to a position in which the distal ends are laterally offset from a plane in which the crown of the staple is disposed. patent-pending "full deflection tipped surgical staple" is a circular stapler for tissue stapling that includes a staple and bandage assembly and a circular staple head operable to drive staples in the direction of an anvil. A staple of the staple and bandage assembly has a pair of legs arranged substantially perpendicular to a staple crown in a first position.
