  • Method for implementing a staple system
    Patent number: 12458345
    Abstract: A method of preparing a staple cartridge includes forming first staples with a first alloy, and forming second staples with a second alloy that is different than the first alloy. The method includes positioning the first staples into staple cavities of a first row of staple cavities of the staple cartridge, the first row of staple cavities being a first distance from an elongate slot of the staple cartridge, and positioning the second staples into staple cavities of a second row of staple cavities, the second row of staple cavities being a second distance from the elongate slot of the staple cartridge. The second distance is greater than the first distance. The first staples are configured to degrade at a first rate in a tissue environment, and the second staples are configured to degrade at a second rate that is different than the first rate.

  • BIOABSORBABLE STAPLE COMPRISING MECHANISM FOR DELAYING THE ABSORPTION OF THE STAPLE
    Publication number: 20220370691
    Abstract: A surgical staple comprising a substrate and one or more coatings which delay the bioabsorption of the substrate. The coating can be selected so as to affect the environment surrounding the staple once the staple is implanted in the patient. The effect on the environment can cause the bioabsorption to occur within a desired time frame.

  • BIOABSORBABLE STAPLE COMPRISING MECHANISMS FOR SLOWING THE ABSORPTION OF THE STAPLE
    Publication number: 20220354999
    Abstract: A surgical staple comprising a substrate and one or more coatings which slows the bioabsorption of the substrate. The coating can be selected so as to affect the environment surrounding the staple once the staple is implanted in the patient. The effect on the environment can cause the bioabsorption to occur within a desired time frame.
