CARTRIDGE WITH FASTENERS TO CREATE FLEXIBLE STAPLING SUTURE Russian patent published in 2019 - IPC A61B17/72 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention refers to medical equipment, namely to a surgical suturing instrument. Cassette with fasteners to create a stapling seam inside the tissue comprises a cassette body, sockets for fasteners, fasteners and slides. Cartridge body comprises a proximal end, a distal end and a longitudinal slot configured to receive the cutting element. Fixing elements are stored with possibility of removal in sockets for fasteners. Fixing elements include two feet of fasteners, which extend from crown. Slides are movable from one end of fastener cartridge in direction of other end for successive arrangement of fasteners from fastener cavities. Fasteners and sockets for fasteners are arranged in the form of a pattern that provides flexibility within the staple suture. Drawing comprises first longitudinal row, second longitudinal row and third lengthwise row. First longitudinal row is located along first longitudinal axis, comprises fasteners arranged at an angle in first direction relative to longitudinal slot. First longitudinal row is adjacent to longitudinal slot. Second longitudinal row is located along second longitudinal axis, comprises fasteners arranged at an angle in second direction relative to longitudinal slot. Second direction differs from first direction. Second longitudinal row is adjacent to the first longitudinal row, and the first longitudinal axis is located between the longitudinal slot and the second longitudinal axis. Third longitudinal row is located along the third longitudinal axis, contains fastening elements oriented in the third direction. Third longitudinal row is adjacent to the second longitudinal row, and the second longitudinal axis is located between the first longitudinal axis and the third longitudinal axis. First, second and third longitudinal rows of fasteners are arranged so that crowns of fasteners in rows do not intersect.

EFFECT: use of the invention enables to apply one or more rows of staples.
