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.

L'invention concerne une pince agrafeuse chirurgicale bon marché, destinée à fixer des cathéters vasculaires, dotée d'un applicateur en plastique conçu pour être utilisé avec une agrafe unique. L'applicateur est constitué d'une arête centrale et de deux bras identiques. La face intérieure de l'arête comprend une rainure qui empêche la couronne de l'agrafe de bouger. Les faces intérieures des bras sont munies de guides qui dirigent les mouvements de l'agrafe tandis que les bras de l'applicateur sont resserrés sous la pression exercée par les doigts. Les faces extérieures des bras sont configurées de manière à permettre une prise pour les doigts de l'opérateur. La pince agrafeuse peut être utilisée pour suturer. D'autres assemblages d'agrafes et d'applicateurs peuvent comprendre deux ou plusieurs assemblages de ce type.
