Abstract

An inexpensive surgical stapler (10), such as for use in securing vascular catheters, has a plastic applicator (30) made for use with a single staple (10). The applicator has a backbone, and two identical arms (34). The inside face of the backbone (32) has a retaining channel (42) that secures the crown portion of the staple against movement. The inside faces (35) of the anus have guidance grooves (44) that direct the movement of the staple as the applicator arms are squeezed with finger pressure. The outside faces of the arms are configured to permit gripping by the operator's forgers. The stapler can be used in lieu of suturing. Other staple and applicator assemblies can include two or more of such assemblies.
