Abstract: A source delivery surgical staple device delivers a source/seed to a staple margin. The surgical staple delivery device includes a main staple body segment hingedly attached to a second body segment. Each of the segments is appointed for engagement to dispense the sources/seeds for the treatment of microscopic disease to a surgical margin. The device also includes a cartridge removably attached and snapped onto the main staple body segment. The cartridge has a source/seed/brachy staple line forming a brachy or radioactive seeds and/or chemotherapy agent dosage source. The radioactive seeds have a radioactive and/or chemotherapy source supported by leg portions that are manipulated during insert for fastening the radioactive staples to tissue at an incision margin. A hybrid of chemotherapy agent and radiation is delivered directly into the surgical margin and different dosage can be loaded in the cartridge.

Each of the segments is appointed for engagement to dispense the sources/seeds and/or a surgical staple to the staple margin. The device also includes a cartridge removably attached and snapped onto the main staple body segment. The cartridge has at least one staple line appointed for housing surgical staples, and being operative to form at least one staple line of surgical staples, and at least one cut line. The cartridge also has at least one source/seed/brachy staple line forming a brachy or radioactive seeds and/or chemotherapy agent dosage source. The radioactive seeds have a radioactive and/or chemotherapy source supported by leg portions that are manipulated during insert for fastening the radioactive staples to tissue at an incision margin.
