Abstract
A cartridge and method used for joining living tissue such as fascia. A staple in the cartridge having pointed arcuate end portions flanking a central portion is bent to provide a generally oval shape for the central portion and adjacent parts of the closed staple, and to bring the terminal parts of the staple into side-by-side crossed relationship with the points on each of the end portions positioned adjacent the central portion of the staple so that each of the end portions of the staple can extend through the tissue on one side of the closed opening and project into the tissue on the other side of the closed opening.
