Abstract
A surgical stapler for use at visually inaccessible sites comprises a shaft having a stapler head at its distal end and a guide means for accommodating a separate, pre-positioned guide wire whereby the stapler may be slid bodily along the guide wire to guide the stapler head towards the exterior of a blood vessel. A blood vessel locator tube has a forward end projecting forwardly of the stapler head for entering the blood vessel through a puncture site and a rear end remote from the distal end of the shaft. The locator tube allows the positioning of the stapler head at the blood vessel to be indicated by a flow of blood from the rear end of the tube.
