ADHESIVE DISTRIBUTION ON BUTTRESS FOR SURGICAL STAPLER

A buttress assembly for use with a surgical stapled site has a buttress and an adhesive on one side of the buttress. The adhesive on the buttress is applied in a pattern where the adhesive extends near or along the edges of the buttress while a center region of the buttress remains relatively free of adhesive. The adhesive is applied such that it extends continuously along the buttress and has a height such that the adhesive creates a sealing attachment with an end effector. The adhesive can be applied in an uneven distribution such that there is more adhesive applied at one end of the buttress than the other. The adhesive can also be applied in a symmetric or asymmetric distribution about a longitudinal axis of the buttress. 本发明公开了一种与外科缝合部位一起使用的支撑物组件，该支撑物组件具有支撑物和位于该支撑物的一侧上的粘合剂。该支撑物上的粘合剂以一定图案施用，其中粘合剂在支撑物的边缘附近或沿支撑物的边缘延伸，而支撑物的中心区域保持相对不含粘合剂。粘合剂被施用成使得其沿支撑物连续延伸，并且具有使得粘合剂与端部执行器形成密封附接的高度。粘合剂可以不均匀的分布施用，使得在支撑物的一端处施用的粘合剂比在另一端处更多。粘合剂也可关于支撑物的纵向轴线以对称或非对称分布施用。
