  • Patent number: 7909039
    Abstract: An operating staple is provided in which stability during an operation is enhanced by firmly suturing an operating portion and an intraluminal stapeler for operation having the operating staple. The operating staple closely sutures a first suturing tissue and a second suturing tissue contacting the first suturing tissue, and the operating staple includes: a center portion extending in close contact with a surface of the first suturingtissue; a pair of penetrating portions which is bent from both ends of the center portion and penetrates the first suturing tissue and the second suturing tissue; and a pair of leg portions which is bent from the respective penetrating portions, extends linearly, and closely bonds the first suturing tissue and the second suturing tissue to each other. Therefore, by utilizing the operating staple, the suturing tissues can be firmly sutured, thereby enhancing the stability during an operation.

  • Patent number: 7401722
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a circular stapler used for an operation of cutting off and suturing a jejunum, where a structure of the circular stapler is improved to facilitate manipulation thereof and to enhance the potential for success of the operation. The circular stapler comprises: a detachable anvil; a head section coupled to the detachable anvil and having a head section cover; and a cylindrical body which extends longs and of which the top end is coupled to the head section, and a recessed portion is formed in a side surface of the cylindrical body positioned under the head section cover. According to the circular stapler, it is possible to considerably reduce the potential for constricting the small intestine, to reduce the bleeding, which may be generated due to the stapling in a state where the tension is applied, and to reduce a risk that the small intestine is caught by the head section of the circular stapler during the suturing operation.
