ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE The present invention teaches an improved anvil plate for use with a surgical stapling instrument. A magazine portion of the surgical stapling instrument houses the anvil plate terminating at its forward end in a coexten- sive anvil surface located beneath the staple driver, and the anvil plate is configured to support the legs of all but the forwardmost staple of a row thereof mounted thereon. The improved anvil plate narrows the opening through which the forwardmost surgical staple is formed, and assures that the staple immediately behind the forwardmost one of the row will be in proper position for forming when it becomes the forwardmost staple in the row. As well, this improved anvil plate gives better support to the forwardmost staple of the row being formed.
