Abstract
An improved staple for use in internal surgery is disclosed. This improved staple has a deformation zone in each leg that varies in cross section along the length of the deformation zone. These cross sections are shaped so as to control staple leg deformation during staple installation into tissue in order to more effectively produce hemostasis and unite tissues and minimize tissue damage.
