ABSTRACT:
A surgical stapling apparatus comprising an anvil jaw pivotally connected to a first handle for movement from an open position to a closed position to clamp body tissue, staple advancing means for advancing an individual staple into contact with the anvil jaw for deformation of the staple legs and means for closing the anvil and for actuating the staple advancing means in a three phase movement of the handles. In the first movement of the handle the anvil jaw pivots to a closed position; in a second subsequent movement of the handles the anvil jaw remains stationary and the staple advancing means is not yet actuated; and in a third movement of the handle the staple advancing means is actuated. This second movement constitutes a dwell period of the apparatus.
