【発明の詳細な説明】改良ステープル技術分野 本発明はステープル、具体的には、外科およびその他の分野に使用される改良ステープルに関する。発明の背景 ステープルは多くの用途を持つ。例えば、外科医は中空器官または管状構造の切断端部相互を結合し(吻合)かつ止血するために薄いワイヤステープルを使用する。薄いワイヤステープルは均一断面および材料特性を有する所定長の薄いワイヤをU形に変形することにより形成される。図1はクラウン101および2本の脚部102を含む従来技術による薄いワイヤステープル100を示す。図1に示されたステープルは均一断面および材料特性を有するが、材料特性はワイヤのU形への変形時にステープルの脚部とクラウンとの結合領域で変化する。外科ステープルはステンレス鋼等の人体流体によるアタックに不活性の材料により形成される。 ステープルを設置するときに、脚部を留める材料へ押しつける。設置時に、いくつかのステープルは変形、即ち、弾性限界を越えて屈曲して形状を永久的に変化させる。 図2は、脚部が屈曲して変形するときに脚部を誘導する管状構造のアンビルへ脚部を付勢することにより設置時にB形に変形した図1のステープルを示す。このアンビルはステープルを挿入する側と反対のステープル留めする物の側に位置する。図1のステープルの変形は曲げ応力が最大になるところで生じる。 図2はクラウン101から異なる位置で脚部102が分離してB形ステープルを変化させる状態を示す。このように、B形ステープルが外科に使用される場合、脚部とクラウンとの間に位置する組織はその領域により程度の異なる圧縮を受ける。 ステープルを使用して止血するために、ステープルにより最小限に圧縮された組織は、最大限に圧縮される組織が過剰圧縮または歪みにより欠損したり損傷する可能性があるにもかかわらず、止血のために更に圧縮されることになる。傷痕組織の長時間にわたる収縮は悪い結果に繋がるので、必要以上に傷痕組織を形成しないことが重要である。 過度の傷痕組織の発生を阻止する必要があるにもかかわらず、外科医によっては、制御された少量の組織損傷は、組織損傷の結果として形成される傷痕組織量が過剰でなければ、即ち、形成された傷痕組織が従来技術のB形ステープルの使用により過剰の傷痕組織に繋がる問題を生じなければ時に有益であると主張する。 本発明の課題はステープル留めした物を均一圧縮するステープルを提供することにある。 更に、本発明の課題は傷痕組織形成を最小限にする外科ステープルを提供することにある。 更に、本発明の課題はステープル留めした物の歪みを最小限にするステープルを提供することにある。 更に、本発明の課題は癒着時間を最小限にする外科ステープルを提供することにある。 更に、本発明の課題はステープル留めした物の損傷を最小限にするステープルを提供することにある。 更に、本発明の課題は傷痕組織の形成を少量に制御することのできる外科用ステープルを提供することにある。発明の概要 上記問題および他の問題は本発明により解消され、かつ本発明の課題は、設置時に変形に対する抵抗が所定領域で選択的に生じ、かかる変形を小さくしない場合には抵抗が所定領域で選択的に生じない改良されたステープルに関する本発明により達成される。変形に対する抵抗が小さい所定領域は、本明細書において、以下、『変形域』と称する。変形域は変形域のステープルの断面の最小限の慣性モーメントIを小さくする、またはステープル材料の弾性率Eを小さくすることにより形成できる。 本発明のステープルの好適態様において、ステープルは2本の脚部を有し、各脚部は所定領域に変形域を有し、この変形域はステープルが設置時にアンビルに当接するときに生じる応力下で、変形域の抵抗よりも大きい抵抗をもつ脚領域を介して、ステープルのクラウンから分離しており、それによりステープルは変形域で選択的に変形する。 設置時に、本発明のステープルは、丸い隅をもった矩形に変形するのが好ましい。これはステープル留めした物の均一圧縮を可能にしかつその変形を最小限にするのに役立つ。 図1は設置前の従来技術のステープルを示す。 図2はB形に変形した後の図1の従来技術のステープルを示す。 図3は本発明のステープルの例示態様を示す。 図4は矩形に変形した後の図3のステープルを示す。 図5は図3のステープルの可能変形域および隣接脚領域の例示断面図(ステープル3の縮尺と異なる。)を示す。 図6は2重に交互に並設したステープルラインを示す。 図7は第1タイプの例示アンビルの正面部分の断面図である。 図8は第2タイプの例示アンビルの正面部分の断面図である。 図9は変化した厚みをもった物の上に使用するための本発明の他の態様である。 図10は本発明に使用するステープルの装填ストリップ(カートリッジ)を示す。 図11は本発明の他の態様を示し、ここでは変形域はステープルの設置と同時に形成される。 図12は使用時の図11の態様を示す。 図13は完全に変形して組織へ設置された本発明のステープルの断面図を示す。 図14は変形および設置前の本発明のステープルの他の態様を示す。 図15は完全にB形へ変形して組織へ設置された従来技術のステープルの断面図を示す。 図16は変形域を形成する方法を示す。 図17はステープルの脚部の外側上に形成された切欠きの図を示す。好適態様の詳細な説明 変形域は、変形がステープル設置時に所定領域で優先的に発生するように、その領域においてステープルを弱めることにより形成される。当分野で周知のごとく、応力下のステープルの1領域の変形に対する抵抗はその領域の弾性率Eおよびその領域の慣性モーメントIの程度に依存する。1領域の上記両方または一方の性質を小さくすることにより、その領域におけるステープルの変形に必要な応力を小さくする。通常、EよりもIを小さくするのが簡単である。 ステープル変形時にステープルの失敗、即ち、破損になるような方法により所定領域でステープルを弱めることより変形領域を形成すべきでない。 本発明のステープルの脚部はステープル留めされた物の要件に適合するものでなければならない。即ち、変形域の位置はステープル留めする物の厚みに適合し、かつ所望の圧縮に適合するものでなければならず、かつステープルの脚部の長さはステープル留めする物を均一に圧縮するためにその両脚部を接近でき、かつ脚部の先端間からの物の突出を阻止できる寸法でなければならない。かかる適合は複数のステープルの利用を必要としてよいが、圧縮が行われ、その均一性が重要である場合に正当化されるものである。 図3は本発明による例示ステープル300を示す。ステープル300はクラウン301および2本の脚部302を有する。各脚部302は脚領域306および307の抵抗と比較して304の方向への曲げに対する抵抗が小さい変形域305を有する。脚領域306および307は変形域305の外側にある。ステープル300が304の方向へ働く力による応力を受けると、上記脚部はその方向へ屈曲して、曲げおよび変形が変形域305で優先的に生じる。 図4において、図3のステープルは矩形に変形した状態で示されている。図3のステープルにより留めた物は図2のB形ステープルの場合よりも均一圧縮下におかれる。図4は、変形域305の位置および長手、ならびにステープルの脚部302の長手が特定厚みを有するステープル留めされる物に望ましい圧縮を得る上で、またステープルの両脚部の端部を接近させる上で脚部の重要なパラメタであることを示す。理想的には、ステープルの脚部の先端部は相互に接触する程度である。クラウン301と変形域305との間の脚領域306の長さはステープル留めする物の厚みとその物質に所望される圧縮力とに応じて設定される要件に適したものである。変形域305と脚端部308との間の脚領域307の長さは、変形したステープルの両脚端部308の分離がステープル設置時の変形により両脚端部308間で干渉することなく、最小限になるように選択されるべきである。 図2と図4を比較すると、図3のステープル300により留めた物がB形ステープルによるよりも歪みが少なく圧縮が均一であることを示す。 図5において、図3の脚部302の例示断面(図3の縮尺で表されていない)が示されている。図5(a)において、ステープルの脚部302の変形域305の外側の領域の断面図が示されている。図5(b)および(c)には、ステープルの脚部の変形域305の断面として2つの異なる可能な断面が示されている。304の方向へ屈曲する図5(b)または(c)に示された断面を有するステープルの脚部の変形域のIの値は図(a)の断面を有する場合よりも小さい。 図6において、図4の本発明のステープルから形成された2重に交互に並設されたステープルライン600が示されており、各列は他の列に対してオフセットしている。外科医は2重交互ステープルラインを使用して、例えば、器官の切断端部で止血のために組織を圧縮または吻合する。本発明のステープルは、このように、例えば、止血および吻合の用途を有する。 図7において、図4の変形ステープルを形成するために図3のステープルに使用するアンビル700の断面が示されている。アンビル700に形成されたチャンネル701は、ステープル300がアンビル700を付勢して脚部302がアンビル700に当接するときにステープル脚部302の屈曲と変形を可能する。アンビル700はステープル300を付勢するときに固定される。 図8において、図3のステープル300に使用する図7と異なる態様のアンビル800が示されている。ステープル300の脚部302はステープル留めする物(図8に示されていない)へ侵入した後にアンビル800のチャンネル801へ当接する。アンビル800は、ステープル300がアンビル800へ付勢されるときに、ステープル300の方向へ移動する。該アンビルの運動は当分野に周知の手段を用いて行なわせることができる。アンビルの運動は、ステープル脚部302が屈曲および変形するきに該脚部により留められる物の歪みを最小限にする。 図4に示されたように、ステープル300が変形した後の脚部302はチャンネル701の形状に追従しない。寧ろ、脚部302の端部308がチャンネル701の形状に追従して脚領域306および307が相互に対して角度をもって屈曲する(好ましくは直角)。ステプラーは所望値以上にステープルが屈曲するのを阻止するためにストッパ(702,802)を有するが、かかるストッパはステープルの設置には必要ない。例示ストッパ(702,802)が図示されているが当分野に周知の手段を用いた他の方法を使用してステープルを所望点以上に変形させる程にステプラーの顎部が接近するのを防止することができる。 ステプラーの顎部はステープル留めする物の厚みが均一の場合には相互に対して、通常、平行であるが、物の厚みは挿入すべきステプラーラインの長さにわって変化していることがある。図9において、他のステープルの顎装置900が示されており、これは2つのステプラー顎部901および902(顎部902はアンビルとして機能する)を含む。この態様はステープル留めする物の厚みが外科医が挿入を望むステープルラインの長さにわたって変化する場合に使用できる。 本発明の利点を最大にしかつ良好な結果を得るために、図示されたように上顎部901は下顎部902に対して傾斜している。結果として、ステプラー顎部901と902の分離はステープル留めする物(図9に図示されていない)の厚みの変化に対応して変化する。 図9の装置に使用する個別ステープルは、ステープル留めする物の厚みの変化に対応するために相互に対して異なる位置に脚部変形域を有する。特に、図9から理解されるように、チャンネル903と接触するステープルはその脚部変形域とステープルクラウンとの間にチャンネル904と接触するステープルよりも長さの短い脚部を有する。更に、チャンネル903に使用されるステープルの脚部の長さはチャンネル904で使用されるステープルの脚部長よりも短くてよい。 本発明のステープルは均一断面および材料特性をもって製造され、かつ使用直前に外科医がステープルを変形させることにより変形域を形成できるので、本発明のステープルはステープル留めする物の条件に対応する。例えば、外科医は変形域を形成するためにステープルの脚部を切欠くまたは綴じ、そして/またはステープルの脚部を所望長にカットすることができる。かかる目的に使用できる装置として当分野に周知の手段を使用できる。かかる試みはステープルの在庫要件としての寸法を縮小させる。 図10は従来技術ステープル100を担持した装填ストリップ1001を示す。この装填ストリップ1001は所望される変形域を形成し、かつステープルの脚部102を所望長にカットする装置(図10に図示されていない)へ設置できる。かかる目的に使用できる装置として当分野に周知の手段を利用できる。装填ストリップ1001はステープル100を挿入する前に適宜ステプラー(図10に示されていない)へ挿入される。 図11は本発明の他の態様を示す。この態様において、変形域はステープルの使用前でなくステープルを挿入するときに形成される。図11の装置はステープル1110をその間に有するステプラー顎部1102,1103を示す。(ステプラー顎部1103はアンビルとして機能する。) 2つのバー1101は変形域を形成するために使用される。このバーは下顎部1103または上顎部1102へ取付けられてよい。該バーを取付ける特定方法は説明の便宜から図1に示されておらず、本発明の作用に重要でないが、当分野に周知の手段がかかる目的のために使用できる。 顎部1102および1103が相互の方向へ向かうときに、ステープル1100は各バー1101と当接してそのまわりで屈曲かつ変形する。図12から理解されるように、ステープルの脚部1111は脚部分1106および1107が屈曲(好ましくは直角に)するように相互に対して、変形域がステープル挿入前に形成される態様の場合と同様に、変形する。 上記アンビルはステープルの脚部が部分的または完全にステープル留めする物を通過した後に移動させるのが好ましい。上記ステープルが変形した後に上記バーはステプラーを簡単に除去できるようにその側を移動し、またはステプラーは図12の平面から1方向へ摺動してステープルから離脱するように設置されてよい。かかる離脱を可能にするための手段は図示されていないが、かかる目的のために当分野に周知の手段を使用できる。 図13は組織12へ設置できるステープル10を含む他の態様の側断面図を示す。ステープル10の脚部26は各々第1セクション16および第2セクション20に囲繞された上変形域18、ならびに第3セクション22および第2セクション20に囲繞された下変形域24を含む。ステープル10はクラウン14を含む。 ステプラー(図示せず)によるステープル10の挿入時に、脚部26の先端部23はステープル留めする組織12へ貫通してステプラーアンビル(図示せず)に当接し、脚部26が下変形域24で屈曲かつ変形するときに第3セクション22を上方へ回転させる。これにより第2セクション20および第3セクション22は相互に対して角度を形成し、例えば、相互に対して実質的垂直になる。ステプラーが連続的にステープル10をアンビルに対して押圧すると、脚部26は内側へ屈曲して上変形域18で変形し、それにより第2セクション20は第1セクションに対して回転しかつ第1セクションに対して角度を形成する。例えば、実質的直角になる。脚部26は、先ず、下変形域24で屈曲し、かつ該下変形域が上変形域よりも更に屈曲する傾向が強いものであるのが好ましい。 ステープル設置工程が終了して脚部26が変形したときに、第3セクション22を図13に示されたように組織12へ侵入させる。当然ながら、組織12への侵入量は脚部26の先端部23に対する下変形域24の位置に依存する。理想的には、上記上変形域は、下変形域24が完全に変形した後に殆ど接触するように、位置決めする。これはステープルの脚部26間から組織が突出するのを防止する。 各ステープルにより占領された領域は均一に圧縮されることに注意されたい。このようにして、全ステープル留め領域の各々が均一に圧縮されて複数の領域へ分割されていることを観察できる。 図14は組織12へ設置する前の本発明のステープル10を示す。ステープル10は変形前はU形であり、かつ上変形域18および下変形域24を各脚部26上に有する。変形域18および24はステープル10の脚部26の上述セクションを減少させることにより、またはここに記載の他の方法により形成できる。 3つの異なるセクション16,20および22を各脚部26に形成することにより、第3セクション22は組織12への僅かな侵入を可能にする、即ち、組織の損傷量を制御して最小限にし、それにより傷痕組織の形成量を少なくし、かつ第2セクション20および第1セクション16は組織12を均一に圧縮するために使用できる。 図15は組織38へ設置した従来技術のB形ステープル28を示す。脚部32の端部34の下には組織の空所領域36があり、そして傷痕組織が充填されるべきこの空所領域内に形成される。ステープル28のクラウン30からの脚部32の分離は脚部の長手にわたって均一ではないので、脚部による組織38の圧縮は均一でない。かかる理由から、止血を行うのがしばしば困難であり、B形ステープルを使用する場合にはステープル留めした組織の適性栄養補給が必要である。B形ステープルの欠点として、脚部32の端部34はステープル留めした組織へ深く侵入して脚部が変形するときに捩れ、そのためにステープル設置時に実質的損傷が発生して、結果的に狭窄に発展する可能性のある傷痕組織が過剰に形成され、また穴の空いた血管から出血することになる。更に、治癒期間が長引くことになる。 説明の目的から、図16に示されたように、ステープル脚部26の『内側』401とステープル脚部26の『外側』402との間は区別する必要がある。ステープルの脚部の外側上の切欠きに関し、図16は2つのかかる切欠きを示し、各脚部26上の1つの切欠きは上変形域18を形成するために使用される。下変形域は使用されても使用されなくてもよく、使用される場合には、説明の目的から図示されていないが、上述の上変形域に関する説明が下変形域に適用できる。切欠きは過度に『シャープ』でないこと、さもなければ脚部のセクション16および20が相互に対してまたは連続的に回転するときに、ステープルは失敗、即ち、破損または破壊する。 脚部の外側上に許容できる切欠きを形成するために、切欠きの両側がぶつかる連接点の半径は、ステープルを形成する材料、例えば、ステンレス鋼またはチタン等の金属が問題の変形域で脚部の変形時に破壊、亀裂、破砕する程に小さなものであってはならない。切欠きは所謂応力集中に繋がる。即ち、そのセクションにおける平均的応力よりも相当に大きい局所応力を生じる。延性ステープル材の局所的屈伸性は応力集中作用を最小限にするが、他方、外科処置に使用するステープルは患者の健康と幸福に危険であるためにステープルの失敗が許容されない臨界的使用を必要とする。屈曲するときに脚部の外側上に形成されるシャープな切欠きの連接点で発生する応力集中によるステープルの失敗は許容できないので、最小半径は切欠きの連接点に存在しなければならない。最小半径(隅肉)は少なくとも2/1000インチ(約5/1000cm)でなければならない。シャープな切欠きではなく、脚部の内側上に少なくとも3/1000インチ(約8/1000cm)の隅肉を有する切欠きをもったステープルを製造することが好ましい。 図17は切欠きの両側42の連接点に隅肉40を有する切欠きの形態の脚部26内の上変形域18の拡大図を示す。Rは隅肉の半径であり、かつステープル設置時に屈曲によりステープル脚部の破壊または破砕の可能性を最小限にして許容できる信頼性、即ち、設置後の脚部の続く破壊を解消するために3/1000インチ(約8/1000cm)以上である。 上述の説明は本発明の好適態様に関するものであるが、種々の改良または変更が当分野の通常の熟練者に明らかであろう。例えば、ステープルは外科用以外の他の用途に使用できる。2本以上の脚部を有するステープル、例えば、2本の外脚部間にもう1本の脚部を有するステープルを使用でき、この付加的脚部はいずれの変形域をも必要としない。 上述の開示は外科用ステープルの使用に関して説明するが、かかるステープルは他の用途、例えば、ステープルの下に位置する物の均一圧縮が有益であり、またその物の穿孔は有害であるような用途に使用できる。 本開示において特定アンビルを図示したが、本発明のステープルに使用されるアンビルは図示されたアンビルのいずれかを必ずしも必要とせず、所望の変形形状を形成するために相互に対して脚部を変形させるいずれの手段であってよく、かつ所望量の変形が生じた後にステープルの変形を停止させる手段を含んでよい。更に、2本の脚部を有するステープルについて説明したが、本発明の原理が2本以上の脚部を有するステープルに適用できる、例えば、更に大きい領域を各ステープルにより圧縮することを意図するような用途に使用できることは自明である。本発明の範囲および主旨に属するかかる改変および/または追加は次の請求の範囲により保護されるべきである。Detailed Description of the InventionImproved stapleTechnical field  The present invention is an improvement for use in staples, specifically surgery and other fields.Regarding staples.BACKGROUND OF THE

Each leg 302 compares with the resistance of the leg regions 306 and 307And a deformation region 305 having a small resistance to bending in the direction of 304. Leg area 306 andAnd 307 are outside the deformation area 305. Stress due to force acting on the staple 300 in the direction of 304Upon receiving, the leg is bent in that direction, and bending and deformation are excellent in the deformation region 305.It happens first.  In FIG. 4, the staple of FIG. 3 is shown in a deformed rectangular shape. Figure 3The items fastened by the staples under the uniform compression are more compressed than those of the B-shaped staples in FIG.To be placed. FIG. 4 shows the position and length of the deformation zone 305 and the legs 302 of the staple.In order to obtain the desired compression for the stapled object whose longitudinal length has a specific thickness,It is also an important parameter for the legs to bring the ends of both legs of the staple closer together.And indicates. Ideally, the tips of the staple legs should only touch each other.. The length of the leg area 306 between the crown 301 and the deformation area 305 is such that the staples areSuitable for requirements set according to thickness and desired compressive force for the materialIt The length of the leg region 307 between the deformed region 305 and the leg end 308 depends on the deformed staple.Both legs endsSeparation of part 308 does not interfere between both leg end parts 308 due to deformation at the time of staple installationShould be selected to be minimal.  Comparing FIG. 2 and FIG. 4, it can be seen that the object fastened by the staple 300 of FIG.It shows less distortion than pull and more uniform compression.  5, an exemplary cross-section (not shown to scale of FIG. 3) of leg 302 of FIG.It is shown. In FIG. 5A, the outside of the deformation area 305 of the leg portion 302 of the staple isA cross-sectional view of the area is shown. 5 (b) and 5 (c), staple legs are shown.Two different possible cross-sections are shown as cross-sections of the deformation zone 305. In the direction of 304Variation of staple leg having a cross section shown in FIG. 5 (b) or (c) that bendsThe value of I in the area is smaller than that in the case of the cross section of FIG.  In FIG. 6, the double staggered sheets formed from the staples of the present invention of FIG.Staple lines 600 are shown with each row offset from the other rows.ing. Surgeons use double alternating staple lines to, for example, cut ends of organs.The tissue is compressed or anastomosed at the site for hemostasis. The staple of the present invention isFor example, it has applications in hemostasis and anastomosis.  7 is used in the staple of FIG. 3 to form the modified staple of FIG.A cross section of an anvil 700 for use is shown. Channel formed on anvil 700In 701, the staple 300 urges the anvil 700 and the leg 302 abuts on the anvil 700.The staple leg portion 302 can be bent and deformed when the staple leg portion 302 is bent. Anvil 700 staplesFixed when energizing 300.  In FIG. 8, an anvil 8 of a mode different from that of FIG. 7 used for the staple 300 of FIG.00 is shown. The legs 302 of the staple 300 are to be stapled (shown in FIG. 8).After being invaded)Contact channel 801 of building 800. Anvil 800, staple 300 anvilWhen biased to 800, it moves towards staple 300. The movement of the anvilThis can be done using means well known in the art. The movement of the anvil isWhen the pull leg 302 bends and deforms, the distortion of the object fastened by the leg is minimized.Keep it to a minimum.  As shown in FIG. 4, the leg 302 is deformed into the channel 70 after the staple 300 is deformed.Does not follow the shape of 1. Rather, the end 308 of the leg 302 follows the shape of the channel 701.The leg regions 306 and 307 bend at an angle to each other (preferably right angles). The stepper has a stopper to prevent the staples from bending more than desired.Although it has (702, 802), such a stopper is not necessary for installing the staples. An exampleShown stoppers (702, 802) are shown but others using means well known in the artThe jaws of the stepper so close that the staples are deformed more than desired using the methodCan be prevented.  If the thickness of the stapled jaws is uniform,They are usually parallel, but the thickness of the object spans the length of the stepper line to be inserted.May have changed. In FIG. 9, another staple jaw device 900 is shown.It has two stepper jaws 901 and 902 (the jaw 902 is an anvil).Functioning). In this mode, the thickness of the stapled material isIt can be used when it varies over the desired staple line length.  In order to maximize the advantages of the present invention and obtain good results, the upper jaw as shownThe part 901 is inclined with respect to the lower jaw 902. As a result, stepper jaws 901 and 902Is separated by stapling (Fig.(Not shown in FIG. 9).  The individual staple used in the apparatus of FIG. 9 has a change in the thickness of the stapled object.In order to correspond to, the leg deformation areas are provided at different positions with respect to each other. In particular, Figure 9As will be understood from the above, the staple contacting the channel 903 isThe length of the staple that is in contact with the channel 904 between the staple crown and the stapleHas short legs. In addition, the length of the leg of the staple used for channel 903May be shorter than the leg length of the staple used in channel 904.  The staple of the present invention is manufactured with uniform cross-section and material properties and is ready for use.Since the surgeon can form the deformation area by deforming the staples beforeLight staples correspond to the conditions for stapling. For example, the surgeonStaples are notched or bound and / or stapled to form features.The legs of the table can be cut to the desired length. Equipment that can be used for such purposesAny means known in the art can be used as the device. Such an attempt is a staple inventory requirementTo reduce the dimensions.  FIG. 10 shows a loading strip 1001 carrying prior art staples 100. This equipmentFilling strip 1001 forms the desired deformation zone and locates the staple legs 102.It can be installed on a device for cutting to the desired length (not shown in Fig. 10). For such purposeMeans well known in the art can be used as a usable device. The loading strip 1001Insert appropriately into stepper (not shown in Figure 10) before inserting staple 100To be done.  FIG. 11 shows another embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the deformation area is the use of staples.It is formed when the staples are inserted rather than before use. The device of FIG. 11 has staple 11Stepler jaw 1102 with 10 in between, 1103 are shown. (Stepler jaw 1103 functions as an anvil.)  Two bars 1101 are used to form the deformation zone. This bar is lower jaw 1103Or it may be attached to the upper jaw 1102. The specific method of mounting the bar is for convenience of explanation.1 is not shown in FIG. 1 and is not critical to the operation of the invention, but is well known in the art.Can be used for such purposes.  When the jaws 1102 and 1103 are oriented toward each other, the staples 1100 will move to each bar 11It contacts 01 and bends and deforms around it. As can be seen in Figure 12,The leg portion 1111 so that the leg portions 1106 and 1107 bend (preferably at right angles)With respect to each other, as in the case of the mode in which the deformation area is formed before inserting the staples,Deform.  The anvil is one in which the staple legs are partially or completely stapled.It is preferable to move after passing through. After the staples are deformed, theMove it to the side for easy removal, or the stepperIt may be installed so that it slides in one direction from the plane of FIG. 12 and separates from the staple.. Means for enabling such disengagement are not shown, but for such purposesAny means well known in the art can be used.  FIG. 13 shows a side cross-sectional view of another embodiment including staple 10 that can be placed on tissue 12. SuThe legs 26 of the table 10 are each surrounded by a first section 16 and a second section 20.Surrounded by the upper deformation zone 18, and the third section 22 and the second section 20Including the lower deformation area 24. The staple 10 includes a crown 14.  When inserting the staple 10 with a stepper (not shown), the tip end portion 23 of the leg portion 26 isIt penetrates through the tissue 12 to be stapled and abuts a stepper anvil (not shown)., The legs 26 bend and deform in the lower deformation area 24When rotating, the third section 22 is rotated upward. This allows the second section 20And the third section 22 form an angle with respect to each other, for example substantially with respect to each other.Become vertical. Stepper continuously presses staple 10 against anvilAnd the leg 26 bends inward and deforms in the upper deformation area 18, which causes the second section 20 toRotate with respect to the first section and form an angle with respect to the first section.For example, it becomes a substantially right angle. The legs 26 first bend in the lower deformation area 24 andIt is preferable that the shape region has a stronger tendency to bend than the upper deformation region.  When the stapling process is completed and the legs 26 are deformed, the third section 22 is removed.The tissue 12 is penetrated as shown in FIG. Naturally, the amount of invasion into the tissue 12 isIt depends on the position of the lower deformation zone 24 with respect to the tip 23 of the part 26. Ideally, the above deformationThe zones are positioned so that the lower deformation zone 24 is almost in contact after complete deformation. ThisThis prevents tissue from protruding between the staple legs 26.  Note that the area occupied by each staple is uniformly compressed.In this way, each of the entire stapling areas is uniformly compressed into multiple areas.You can observe that it is divided.  FIG. 14 shows the staple 10 of the present invention prior to placement on the tissue 12. Staple 10 is strangeThe shape is U-shaped and has an upper deformation area 18 and a lower deformation area 24 on each leg 26. StrangeThe features 18 and 24 are provided by reducing the above-mentioned sections of the legs 26 of the staple 10.Or other methods described herein.  By forming three different sections 16, 20 and 22 on each leg 26,3 Section 22 allows for a slight penetration of tissue 12, ie, controlling the amount of tissue damage.To minimize the amount of scar tissue formation and to increase the second section.20 and the first section16 can be used to compress tissue 12 uniformly.  FIG. 15 shows a prior art B-shaped staple 28 installed in tissue 38. The end 34 of the leg 32Below there is a void region 36 of tissue, and this void to be filled with scar tissue.It is formed in the area. The separation of the leg 32 from the crown 30 of the staple 28 is the length of the leg.The compression of the tissue 38 by the legs is not uniform because it is not uniform across. This reasonFor this reason, hemostasis is often difficult, and when using B-shaped staples.Requires proper nutrition of stapled tissue. Disadvantages of B-shaped staplesAs a result, the ends 34 of the legs 32 penetrate deeply into the stapled tissue and the legs are deformed.Twisting when installed, which causes substantial damage during staple placement, resulting inExcessive scar tissue that may develop into a stenosis, and whether it is a perforated vesselWill bleed. Furthermore, the healing period will be prolonged.  For purposes of explanation, as shown in FIG. 16, the “inside” 401 of the staple leg 26A distinction must be made between the "outer" 402 of the staple leg 26. Staple legsWith respect to the notch on the outside of the part, FIG. 16 shows two such notches, one on each leg 26.The two notches are used to form the upper deformation zone 18. Even if the lower deformation area is usedMay not be used, and if used, is not shown for purposes of illustrationHowever, the above description regarding the upper deformation region can be applied to the lower deformation region. Excessive notchNot'charp ', otherwise sections 16 and 20 of the legs are against each otherOr staples fail, i.e. break or break, when rotated continuously.  Both sides of the notch hit to form an acceptable notch on the outside of the legThe radius of the articulation depends on the material forming the staple, for example stainless steel or titanium.Even if the metal such as iron is small enough to be broken, cracked or crushed when the leg is deformed in the deformation area of interest.Must not be. OffThe lack leads to so-called stress concentration. That is, rather than the average stress in that sectionIt produces a fairly large local stress. The local bending and elongation of ductile staple material is due to stress concentration.Minimal use, while staples used in surgery are patient's health and well-beingStaple failure requires critical use that is unacceptable because it is dangerous.Occurs at the contiguous contact with a sharp notch formed on the outside of the leg when flexingSince the failure of stapling due to stress concentration is unacceptable, the minimum radius is the notch concatenation.Must exist at a point. Minimum radius (fillet) is at least 2/1000 inch (It should be about 5/1000 cm). Above the inside of the leg, not a sharp cutoutWith a notch that has a fillet of at least 3/1000 inchesIt is preferred to make the table.  FIG. 17 shows the top of the leg 26 in the form of a notch with fillets 40 at the contact points on both sides 42 of the notch.An enlarged view of the deformation area 18 is shown. R is the radius of the fillet and bends when the staple is installedAllows for acceptable confidence with minimal chance of breaking or crushing staple legsProperty, that is, 3/1000 inch (about 8/10) to eliminate the subsequent destruction of the legs after installation.00 cm) or more.  While the above description relates to the preferred embodiment of the invention, various improvements or modificationsWill be apparent to one of ordinary skill in the art. For example, staples are non-surgicalCan be used for other purposes. Staples with two or more legs, eg two outerStaples with one additional leg between the legs can be used without this additional legIt does not require any deformation area.  Although the above disclosure describes the use of surgical staples, such staplesIs useful for other applications, such as uniform compression of the underlying objects.Applications where perforation of the sword is harmfulCan be used for  Although a particular anvil is illustrated in this disclosure, it may be used in the staple of the present invention.The anvil does not necessarily require any of the anvils shown and the desired variantAny means for deforming the legs relative to each other to form the shape,And may include means for stopping the deformation of the staples after the desired amount of deformation has occurred.. Furthermore, although the staple having two legs has been described, the principle of the present invention isApplicable to staples with more than one leg, for example, a larger area for each staple.Obviously it can be used in applications where it is intended to be compressed by a table.It Such modifications and / or additions that fall within the scope and spirit of the invention are subject to the following claims.Should be protected by the scope of.
