An electrosurgical stapling apparatus is provided which uses thermogenic energy as well as surgical fasteners or staples for strengthening tissue, providing hemostasis, tissue joining or welding. The thermogenic energy also strengthens tissue in proximity to a staple line and knife cut line and provides hemostasis along the staple and cut lines formed by the staples and a knife blade during surgical stapling. The use thermogenic energy provides short-term hemostasis and sealing, and reduces or prevents staple line and cut line bleeding, while the stapling features provide short and long-term tissue strength and hemostasis. The stapling apparatus further substantially reduces or prevents knife cut line bleeding by energizing a knife blade for cauterizing tissue while it is being cut. In one embodiment, energy is applied to the anvil to energize the staples as they make contact with the anvil.

Cutting assembly of stapler

The invention discloses a cutting assembly of a stapler, and belongs to the field of medical instruments. Staple molding heights of suturing staples of the cutting assembly are inconsistent. By using the height difference of staple pushing grain tooth pieces, under the condition of the consistent heights of the suturing staples, the molding heights are inconsistent, and the outer molded staples are higher than the inner molded staples. The inner molded staples are low to be beneficial to stop bleeding, the outer molded staples are high to be beneficial to the blood supply for tissues to cutting edges, and the healing of the tissues is fast. A staple cartridge surface is designed into a ladder shape, the middle position is higher than the positions of the two sides, so that the squeezing force of the tissues is dispersed, the stress of the middle surface is greater to be beneficial to spread tissue fluid to the two sides, the time for compressing the tissues to the specified height is effectively shortened, and the operation time is shortened. A tissue stop stand column is used for limiting tissue pull-in positions, and interacts with tissue positioning staples to ensure that the length of staple lines always exceeds that of clamping tissues, complete suturing of the tissues is ensured, and no exposure point is generated.

Methods and devices for reinforcing a staple line

Adjunct material and methods of using adjunct material to reinforce tissue in proximity to a staple line are provided herein. In general, the adjunct material can be used to maintain a seal in tissue, such as lung tissue, and prevent stapled tissue from tearing. This adjunct material can be coupled to a jaw of a surgical stapler, and can be deployed into tissue along with the staples. In some embodiments, the adjunct material can comprise an outer material encompassing an inner, hydrophilic swellable material. The outer material can be selectively dissolvable and / or absorbable. When the outer material is punctured by staples or otherwise penetrated, moisture is passed to the inner material which then swells and expands to transition to a predetermined shape to seal the tissue and prevent leaks from forming in the tissue. Portions of the inner material around the staple line can transition to a large radius.
