ABSTRACT:
An improved surgical stapler is disclosed which is particularly suitable for use in laparoscopic procedures. The stapler includes a handle and an elongated shaft and jaws at its distal end which are adapted to close staples. This improved stapler further includes a cutter which is adapted to cut items grasped by the jaws. The jaws are actuated independently of the stapling mechanism. This substantially improves the versatility of this device. A suctioning tube is also provided at the tip of the apparatus. This device permits surgeons to staple and subsequently selectively cut without removing the instrument.
