ABSTRACT:
A surgical fastener comprising a fastener member and a retainer member is disclosed. The fastener provides improved hemostasis and, desirably, is of a resinous material that is absorbable in the body. The fastener member has prongs which extend substantially perpendicularly from a base to interlock with apertures in the retainer member. The base and the retainer member are substantially equal in length, and each prong extends from a point on the base spaced inward from its respective end of the base. The fasteners are preferably applied by apparatus including a pusher associated with each fastener member and having a particular structural relationship to the associated fastener member.
