  • DEGRADABLE SURGICAL STAPLES AND METHODS OF USING SAME
    Publication number: 20210259684
    Abstract: A surgical stapler deploys staples made of selectively degradable materials. Tissue resected with a stapler of the present disclosure, including staples made of the selectively degradable materials, may be subjected to treatment in the lab to degrade those materials forming the staples. In this way, a pathologist or similar hospital personnel may rapidly degrade the staples, thereby permitting testing of the entire resected tissue sample for the presence of disease.
