Abstract

See full text

An apparatus for placing surgical staples which are moved one after another from a staple support onto a lower die and are deformed there using an upper die, by lowering and further adjusting the upper die onto the particular staple to be placed situated on the lower die, wherein the staple is deformed by bending around the lower die and then separated from the lower die using an ejector, is described. A particularly simple and function-safe design for the ejector system is produced in that the ejector can be displaced in a straight line and is brought to rest against the limbs of the implanted staple by means of a head below the lower die when adjusting to its second position.
