Chaque agrafe viscérale comprend une base et deux pointes liées à la base, les pointes espacées définissent une fente entre elles. La fente reçoit la suture de manière coulissante dans celle-ci. Chaque agrafe viscérale est attachée à la paroi corporelle adjacente à la périphérie de la perforation. Les extrémités de la suture sont tendues pour diminuer la distance entre les agrafes viscérales et compresser la paroi corporelle autour de la perforation.
