Title:
Applicator system for surgical fasteners
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP6297667
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
A surgical fastener for anchoring medical devices to tissue includes a first leg having a proximal end, a distal end, a first rib projecting from an outer wall of the first leg and extending between the proximal and distal ends of the first leg, and a first insertion tip at the distal end of the first leg. The surgical fastener includes a second leg having a proximal end, a distal end, a second rib projecting from an outer wall of the second leg and extending between the proximal and distal ends of the second leg, and a second insertion tip at the distal end of the second leg. A bridge connects the proximal ends of the first and second legs for forming a closed end of the surgical fastener. The first and second legs are curved between the bridge and the first and second insertion tips at the distal ends of the respective first and second legs, and the first and second ribs have curves that mirror the curvature of the respective first and second legs.
