ABSTRACT:
A disposable surgical stapler having an overall hypodermic shape and a geared plunger mechanism, which gives a mechanical advantage. One of the improvements is the hypodermic configuration, which permits the surgeon to suture or staple without twisting his hand or the flesh of the patient. A magazine feed supplies the sutures or staples to the applying head at an advantageous angle. The major salient points of distinction of the present configuration are the geared plunger entailing the gearing (large and small gear), and parallel toothed racks, which gives a mechanical advantage; the upstop for the pusher and plunger, which serves to position the top of the pusher, so that in transit the staple cannot get twisted or suck back; the swivel top and hypodermic-like shape and arrangement, which permits the surgeon to suture or staple without twisting his hand, or the flesh or skin of the patient; improved visibility when implanting the staples, the staples are visible when coming out of the device, due to the vertical arrangement; and the advantageous feed angle of the staples, combined with other mechanism in the device, to give improved feeding of the staples via the magazine feed.
