Abstract
A surgical staple inserter for joining two ducts such as a blood vessel and a blood prosthesis. The staple inserter ejects staples in a radial direction relative to the axis of the ducts. In one embodiment, it includes a staple holder surrounded by the prosthesis and containing a series of staples arranged in at least one ring. All the staples are ejected simultaneously. The staple inserter also includes an anvil outside the organic duct, and a device for spacing apart the anvil and the staple holder in relation to their relative working positions. Projections hold the prosthesis in place during the insertion of the staple holder into the ducts.
