CHISEL CUT STAPLES FOR USE IN SURGICAL STAPLERS AND A METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING SURGICAL STAPLES

A surgical staple includes first and second legs that are interconnected by a backspan. Each of the first and second legs defines a longitudinal leg axis and extends from the backspan along the leg axis to a tip. The tip is sharpened such that the tip is symmetrical about a longitudinal leg plane th...

Zusammenfassung:A surgical staple includes first and second legs that are interconnected by a backspan. Each of the first and second legs defines a longitudinal leg axis and extends from the backspan along the leg axis to a tip. The tip is sharpened such that the tip is symmetrical about a longitudinal leg plane that includes the leg axis. In addition, a method of manufacturing a surgical staple includes sharpening a tip of a leg of the surgical staple such that the tip is symmetrical about a longitudinal leg axis that includes a longitudinal leg axis of the leg.
