Abstract

Devices and methods for placing an adjunct at a tissue treatment site prior to delivering staples through the tissue and adjunct are provided. In one embodiment, a flowable adjunct precursor can be deposited on the surface of the tissue at the tissue treatment site. The flowable adjunct precursor can be configured to solidify after deposition to form an adjunct. In another embodiment, an adjunct delivery device can include a non-stapling end effector configured to deliver an adjunct to a tissue treatment site. In either case, staples can be delivered through the adjunct and tissue after placement of the adjunct at the tissue treatment site.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention provides methods and devices for delivering and securing excipient materials to a treatment site. Background technique [0002] Surgical staplers are used in surgery to close openings in tissue, blood vessels, catheters, shunts, or other objects or body parts involved in a particular procedure. These openings may be naturally occurring, such as passages in blood vessels or internal organs like the stomach, or they may be formed by the surgeon during surgery, such as by puncturing tissue or blood vessels to create bypasses or anastomoses or by Cutting the tissue during the suturing procedure. [0003] Most staplers have a handle with an elongated shaft with a pair of movable opposing jaws formed on the end thereof for holding the staple between the jaws and for Nail forming. The staples are typically housed in a staple cartridge that can hold rows of staples and is typically disposed in one of two jaws for ejecting the staples t...
