摘要：
An end effector and a staple cartridge are disclosed. The staple cartridge includes an array of staples in which at least one staple is angularly-oriented relative to the longitudinal axis of the staple cartridge. The angled staple(s) provide longitudinal flexibility to the stapled tissue. Additionally, the staple cartridge and/or the end effector are configured to provide variable degrees of compression to tissue. For example, the compression of tissue before, during and/or after stapling can be optimized.
