The jaw assembly has a spring loaded closing mechanism to secure different thicknesses of tissue and the fastener feeding and applying mechanism is adaptable to different extents of closing of the jaw assembly. The device is particularly well suited for miniature clipping/stapling such as anastomosis of coronary blood vessels and the like.
