Patent number: 11877746Abstract: A buttress assembly is configured to temporarily adhere to a wet surgical stapler end effector. The buttress assembly includes a buttress body and a humidity tolerant adhesive material. The humidity tolerant adhesive material is applied to at least one side of the buttress body. The humidity tolerant adhesive material is configured to hold the buttress body to an underside of an anvil or a deck of a staple cartridge for at least five minutes in an environment of 100% relative humidity at approximately 37° C.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 2021Date of Patent: January 23, 2024Assignee: Cilag GmbH InternationalInventors: Frederick E. Shelton, IV, Michael J. Vendely, Prudence A. Turner, Jackie J. Donners, Mark D. Timmer, Rao S. Bezwada, Aidan Craigwood, Caroline Hagerman, Ashley Easter, Kathrin Holtzmann

Patent number: 11849940Abstract: A buttress is applied to an end effector of a surgical stapler. The buttress is loaded on a platform of a buttress applier cartridge. The end effector is closed upon the platform. An adhesive layer of the buttress secures the buttress to the end effector. The buttress is thus adhered to the end effector when the end effector is opened. The end effector is then actuated on tissue of a patient, thereby stapling the buttress to the tissue.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 2021Date of Patent: December 26, 2023Assignee: Cilag GmbH InternationalInventors: Michael J. Vendely, Trevor J. Barton, Jason L Harris, Charles J. Scheib, Emily A. Schellin, Prudence A. Vulhop, Steven G. Hall, Victoria Dalessandro, Jackie Donners, Mark Timmer, Rao S.
