The second arm comprises a second handle and a second linear jaw. The handles can be opened to place the jaws in an Opened position whereafter at least one hemorrhoid bundle can be positioned between the jaws.

The tool is structured and operable to dispense the staples when the jaws are closed such that the staples pierce the clasped flesh of the hemorrhoid bundle(s) to form a linear suture along the base of the hemorrhoid bundle(s).
