ABSTRACT:
A dual staple disposable surgical gun, wherein the gun fires two staples in a staggered formation simultaneously to close an incision in the skin to prevent the skin overlapping. The dual staple disposable surgical gun comprises a frame structure, adapted to be held by a hand with a grip having a handle. A first staple track and a second staple track each with an advancing blade and a spring mechanism is incorporated to aid in the injection of the staples. A translatable driver manually actuates both staple tracks to eject a single pair of staples simultaneously when the dual staple disposable surgical gun is squeezed. The dual staple disposable surgical gun additionally includes a biasing means for returning the translatable driver from a staple ejecting position to a staple reloading position.
