ABSTRACT:
In a medical stapler, an anvil is disposed in the vicinity of an opening in a casing, and is disposed in a path of movement of a ram. A foremost staple placed on the anvil is shaped through the cooperation of the advancing ram with the anvil in such a manner that a pair of legs of this foremost staple are moved toward each other. The anvil has a shaping surface disposed in opposed relation to the ram. This shaping surface is inclined relative to the path of movement of the ram in such a manner as to approach the ram progressively toward the distal end of the shaping surface.
