Abstract
A surgical staple is used in joining the skin or fascia of a patient, and is especially desired to be used with mesh placed over a cut organ, such as the kidney. The staple is adapted to be formed about a central anvil and former. The configuration of the staple is such that at initial contact the points of the staple are formed at acute angles to the central portion of the staple. In this fashion, upon forming, a modified 'B' shape is derived. This configuration has proven useful to reduce rotation of the staple when emplaced over mesh.
