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.
