By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning Daily News Daily News-Cilag GmbH International (Zug, Switzer land) has been issued patent number 11998196, according to news reporting origin ating out of Alexandria, Virginia, by NewsRx editors. The patent's inventors are Courtwright, Nicholas D. (Villa Hills, KY, US), Geres y, Stephen D. (West Chester, OH, US), Posey, Ryan P. (Cincinnati, OH, US), Sacke tt, Kevin D. (Independence, KY, US), Shelton, IV, Frederick E. (Hillsboro, OH, U S). This patent was filed on August 27, 2021 and was published online on June 4, 202 4. From the background information supplied by the inventors, news correspondents o btained the following quote: "Some surgical staplers are operable to clamp down on one or more layers of patient tissue, form staples through the layers of tiss ue to substantially seal the layers of tissue together near the formed staples, and cut through the layers of tissue for forming severed ends of operatively sea led tissue. An exemplary stapling instrument may include a pair of cooperating e longate jaw members, where each jaw member may be adapted to be inserted into a patient and positioned relative to tissue that is to be stapled and/or incised. One of the jaw members may support a staple cartridge with at least two laterall y spaced rows of staples contained therein, and the other jaw member may support an anvil with staple-forming pockets aligned with the rows of staples in the st aple cartridge. Generally, the stapling instrument may further include a pusher bar and a knife blade that are slidable relative to the jaw members to sequentia lly or simultaneously eject the staples from the staple cartridge via camming su rfaces on the pusher bar and/or camming surfaces on a wedge sled that is pushed by the pusher bar. The camming surfaces may be configured to activate one or mor e staple drivers carried by the cartridge and associated with the staples in ord er to push the staples against the anvil and form laterally spaced rows of defor med staples in the tissue gripped between the jaw members. Such rows may be arra nged as linear rows and/or arcuate rows for sequentially or simultaneously stapl ing and cutting the tissue of the patient in the form of a predetermined pattern . The knife blade may trail the camming surfaces and cut the tissue along a line ar or arcuate line between the rows of staples formed in the tissue.
