Abstract: The surgical forceps are composed of two movably interconnected halves (1,2). Each of said halves terminates in an oblong jaw (4,5) having an effective portion (8) with a compressing surface (17,18) which is provided with alternately arranged prongs (21) and recesses (22) corresponding to the respective recesses (22) and prongs (21) on the opposite compressing surface of the other jaw. The prongs (21) and recesses (22) are arranged on at least one longitudinal edge of the compressing surface (17,18) the recesses (22) being open towards the outer surface (19 or 20) of the effective portion (8) of the jaws (4,5).

Abstract: A surgical instrument for placing linear staple sutures comprises a body having a closed rectangular frame, each of the lateral sides of said frame being provided with a slot which is located on the inner surface of said laterial side close to the adjacent side of said frame, the axis of said slot being parallel to each of said lateral sides; a die provided with a plurality of recessess and secured on the adjacent side of the frame, the extreme recesses of said die being arranged inside the slots on the frame lateral sides; a staple head accommodated in the body; a detachable staple magazine having a plurality of staple slots and adapted to be so positioned that its portions provided with extreme staple slots should engage the slots in the lateral sides of the frame; a staple ejector, and actuators of the staple head and of the staple ejector, respectively.

Abstract: A surgical instrument for placing linear staple sutures includes a body having a closed rectangular frame. Each of the lateral sides of the frame are provided with a slot which is located on an inner surface of the lateral side close to the adjacent side of the frame. The axis of the slot is parallel to each of the lateral sides. A die is provided with a plurality of recesses and secured on the adjacent side of the frame. The extreme recesses of the die are arranged inside the slots on the frame lateral sides. A staple head is accommodated in the body. A detachable staple magazine has a plurality of staple slots and positioned so that its portions provided with extreme staple slots should engage the slots in the lateral sides of the frame, a staple ejector, and actuators of the staple head and of the staple ejector, respectively.

Abstract: The surgical instrument for applying a staple suture comprises a body with a split frame having a .andgate.-shaped member, whose one leg carries a die with a number of recesses. There is provided a detachable rod adapted to interlink the free ends of the legs of the .andgate.-shaped member, said rod having stops which embrace from outside the free ends of the legs of the .andgate.-shaped member so as to form, together with said free ends, a lock joint featuring a retainer of the rod position, said retainer being in fact a shoulder provided at the free end of each of said legs. The free ends of the legs are capable of moving towards each other due to resilience of the .andgate.-shaped member, the amount of the abovesaid travel of the free ends of the legs towards each other depending upon the size of the retaining shoulder, while the detachable rod and the free ends of the legs are adapted to enter each other along the legs so as to interact through the flat spots provided thereon.

Abstract: The present invention describes the method of suturing the stomach with the intestine, incorporating stitching up the stomach, severing the respected gastric portion, dissecting the seromuscular layers alone of the gastric wall at the place of anastomosing along the line the length of which corresponds to the required size of the anastomosis, compressing the remaining gastric portion in a close proximity to the place of the abovesaid dissection of the seromuscular layers, catching the opposite semiperimeters of the gastric wall by the mucosubmucous layers in front of the line of compression of the remaining gastric portion on the side of establishing the required anastomosis, severing the affected gastric portion some distance apart from the line of catch on the outer side of the remaining gastric portion, compressing and catching the enteric wall on its segment whose length corresponds to the size of the caught semiperimeters of the gastric wall within the zone of the anastomosis being established, followed

Abstract: A surgical apparatus for suturing organs with metal staples comprises two clamps, each of said clamps having two jaws for clamping and fixing the organs being sutured and detachably joined together so that the mating plane of the jaws of each clamp is perpendicular to the mating plane of the clamps. Mounted on the clamp jaws are magazines with slots for staples, staple pushers, dies with grooves for clinching said staples and suitable for grasping and fixing the walls of the organs being sutured, embodied as casings with members fixing the walls of the organs. The casings are set on each of the jaws in guides permitting restricted movement of said casings in a plane perpendicular to the mating plane of the jaws and the mating plane of the clamps.
