Claim 1
Independent Claim
275 words
A device for applying anastomoses onto hollow organs, comprising two substantially similar parts provided with means for their coupling at suturing, each one of said parts including two pivotally connected handles, each handle carrying at the free end thereof a flat plate, removable magazines with grooves, a pusher member and dies for bending the staples or agraffes mounted on the respective outer surface of the flat plate, each of said clamps having means for shifting layers of the intestine edge axially as a torus or cushion is formed, the means including a comb-like plate which is so arranged that the longitudinal axis thereof passes along the connected plane of the coupled parts for displacement only perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis of the connection plane of the parts, sharp points provided on the projections of the comb-like plate whose height is somewhat less than the thickness of the intestine wall, a slot arranged on the inner side of the comb-like portion which faces the intestine when anastomoses is applied and engaging each projection and partially the plane of the comb proper, an adjustable support carrying the comb-like plate for its travel in the plane parallel to the axis of the flat clamps and intercon nectingthe complike plate with the flat plate of the clamp, retaining members of the adjustable support adapted to fix it in a required position depending on the position of the comb-like plate after the travel thereof parallel to the axis of the flat clamps, whereas used as each die is a needle-like die, which die is mounted with the provision to travel in the plane of flat plates defining the flat clamp.

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
46 words
A device according to claim 1 wherein each clamp is provided with a removable plates with grooves, movably mounted intermediate the plane of the needle-like dies and the outer surface of the flat plate of the clamp, for displacement relative to the edges of this plate.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
33 words
A device of claim 1, wherein the adjustable supports adapted to travel in the plane of the axis of the flat clamps are made as rods with grooves engageable by spring-urged retaining means.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
30 words
A device of claim 1,wherein the flat plate defining the clamp has enlarged portions with grooves acting as the guideways for the motion of the dies and the grooves plate.
Claim 6
Independent Claim
18 words
A device for applying anastomoses onto hollow organs, substantially as hereintofore described and illustrated in the appended drawings.
Claim 7
Independent Claim
18 words
A device for applying anastomoses onto hollow organs, substantially as hereintofore described and illustrated in the appended drawings.
