Surgical tools for placing wound pincers

摘要

The invention relates to a surgical device (1, 2) for applying wound staples (6), which consist essentially of two branches (7, 8) and a bridge (9) connecting the branches, and which are moved one after the other from a magazine (10) onto a bottom die (15) and can be deformed there using an upper die (19). The upper die (19) is lowered from a rest position in the direction of the staple (6) to be applied in each case and is displaced further in order thereby to close the staple, by bending it around the bottom die (15), and to insert the branches (7, 8) of the staple into the tissue. In order to achieve a perfect and symmetrical deformation of the staples (6), a holding-down device (18) is provided, which can be lowered onto the bottom die (15) and which, during the deformation of the staple (6) to be applied, presses its bridge (9) onto the bottom die (15) and prevents the staple (6) from being moved sideways on the bottom die (15) during the deformation process. …IMAGE…
