ABSTRACT:
The applicator is provided with a pair of handles and an anvil carrier against which rows of staples can be ejected. The applicator includes support elements for supporting the stapler cartridges and pushers for pushing the staples from the cartridges when the handles are squeezed together. Each cartridge carries a section of a string in the plane of the staples so that after ejection of the staples, the string is fixed about the periphery of an aperture in the tissue for use as a purse string in an end-to-end anastomosis procedure.
