An insertion device is provided for use with surgical tissue fastening apparatus. The insertion device includes a head having an atraumatic leading surface and a shaft extending proximally therefrom. The shaft includes attachment structure for detachable engagement with surgical tissue fastening apparatus. The atraumatic leading structure aids in insertion of the surgical apparatus during a stapling procedure. The shaft, in combination with the head, can also be dimensioned and configured to prevent activation of a surgical tissue fastening apparatus while installed thereon. The insertion device can also include structure to protect and retain fasteners contained within the surgical tissue fastening apparatus. Further, the disclosed insertion devices can be constructed so as to reduce overall weight and alleviate suction effects associated with insertion and retraction.

Dispositif d'insertion à utiliser avec un appareil de fermeture de plaies chirurgicales. Le dispositif d'insertion comprend une tête dotée d'une surface d'attaque atraumatique et une tige s'étendant à proximité. La tige comprend une structure de fixation pour se mettre en prise de façon détachable dans l'appareil de fermeture de plaies chirurgicales. La structure d'attaque atraumatique facilite l'insertion de l'appareil chirurgical lors du processus d'agrafage. La tige, en combinaison avec la tête, peut aussi être dimensionnée et configurée de manière à empêcher l'actionnement d'un appareil de fermeture des plaies chirurgicales quand il y est posé. Le dispositif d'insertion peut aussi comprendre une structure de protection pour retenir les agrafes contenues dans l'appareil de fermeture des plaies chirurgicales. De plus, on peut construire le dispositif d'insertion décrit de manière à réduire le poids global et atténuer les effets de succion associés à l'insertion et au retrait.
