Abstract

A palatal stapling apparatus (1) includes an instrument body (30) having proximal and distal end portions. A handle (31) at the proximal end portion enables a user to hold and manipulate the instrument body. A pair of spaced apart paddles are extending from a shaft (60) and include a staple paddle (10) and a tensioning paddle (90). The instrument body (30) provides a trigger (80) that moves between resting and firing positions. An actuator link moves between first and second positions, the actuator link being moved by the trigger (80), wherein the actuator link includes a staple moving member that is attached to the staple paddle (10). The staple paddle (10) and tensioning paddle (90) each may have an associated fastener bank (120, 120') that includes multiple fasteners components (121, 121'). The trigger (80), actuator link, and staple bank (120, 120') are configured to cause cooperating fastener components (121, 121') to engage one another surrounding targeted tissues when the trigger (80) is pulled. The staple paddle (10) and tensioning paddle (90) are also drawn together when the trigger (80) is pulled. A cutting member (100, 100') and crimping member (110, 110') may also be associated with at least one of the staple paddle (10) and tensing paddle (90).
