ABSTRACT:
A surgical instrument for applying a fastener to tissue. The instrument includes a shaft having a working end and a grip end, a first jaw pivotally mounted on the working end including a receiver for releasably holding a male component and a second jaw statically mounted on the working end including a receiver for releasably holding a female component. The first jaw is pivotally moveable between an open position in which the first jaw is sufficiently spaced from the second jaw so tissue can be received between a male component and a female component, and a closed position in which a protrusion of the male component is aligned with and received in a recess of the female component. The instrument includes a mechanism operatively connected to the first jaw for moving the first jaw between the open position and the closed position.
