In embodiments, the surgical stapler (10) includes a cartridge that supports a plurality of rotatable pushers. Each pusher supports a curved, substantially U-shaped staple having a single tissue penetrating distal leg portion (190a) and a proximal leg portion (190b). The pusher is rotatable to drive the distal leg portion (190a) into an anvil to deform the staple into a substantially D-shaped configuration.3/23 I ' C -Co CU C0 4 CN LO CD cv">；j CN Cu3 LO -M CJ) -oCJI CuC m Z2 C14o C14o C14o
