ABSTRACT:
A surgical apparatus for suturing organs with metal staples comprises two clamps, each of said clamps having two jaws for clamping and fixing the organs being sutured and detachably joined together so that the mating plane of the jaws of each clamp is perpendicular to the mating plane of the clamps. Mounted on the clamp jaws are magazines with slots for staples, staple pushers, dies with grooves for clinching said staples and suitable for grasping and fixing the walls of the organs being sutured, embodied as casings with members fixing the walls of the organs. The casings are set on each of the jaws in guides permitting restricted movement of said casings in a plane perpendicular to the mating plane of the jaws and the mating plane of the clamps. Locks are mounted on said jaws locking the casings in the forward position, and said locking members lie between the mating surface of said clamp jaws and at some distance in front of the mating surfaces of said clamps, and locks locking the casings in the backward position, lie at some distance from the mating surfaces of the clamp jaws and approximately in the mating planes of the clamps and retain said casings regardless of the reciprocal positions of the clamps and the width of the suturing clearance between the magazines and the dies.
