ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE An open wire staple is disclosed which comprises a generally U-shaped central portion, having at least one arcuate part; and smoothly curved outer portions terminating in sharp points with successive parts of said outer portions starting from said central portion being at increasingly greater distances from the adjacent arcuate part of said central portion, so that, when said staple is closed by bending the arcuate part of said central portion adjacent each of said curved outer portions, said curved outer portions can enter and smoothly gather tissues. The shape of the U-shaped portion in each of the curved outer portions is such that, when the adjacent arcuate part of the central portion is generally straightened to close the staple, the maximum inside dimension of said staple will be generally parallel to said straightened arcuate part. The staple of the invention is intended for use as a medical staple.
