Surgical apparatus and structure for applying sprayable wound treatment material
First Claim
1. An apparatus for forming an anastomosis between adjacent sections of tissue, comprising:
- a body portion;
an anvil assembly movably mounted at a distal end of the body portion for movement toward and away from the body portion;
an approximation assembly extending between the body portion and the anvil assembly for moving the anvil assembly toward and away from the body portion; and
a fluid dispersion assembly including at least one angled surface formed in a nozzle thereof for dispersing a fluid, wherein each angled surface is oriented at an angle relative to a longitudinal axis of the body portion;
wherein the dispersion assembly includes a plurality of ejection ports in communication with at least one of a first fluid source or a second fluid source, the first fluid source having a wound treatment material and the second fluid source having a second wound treatment material, the first wound treatment material being different from the second wound treatment material.

Abstract
A surgical stapling apparatus is provided including a cartridge assembly defining a tissue contacting surface; an anvil assembly defining a tissue contacting surface; and a surgical buttress releasably secured to at least one of the tissue contacting surface of the cartridge assembly and the tissue contacting surface of the anvil assembly by at least one anchor. A loading unit is provided including a surgical buttress releasably secured to an anvil assembly and/or a staple cartridge secured thereto by at least one anchor, and a drive assembly including a knife blade, wherein movement of the drive assembly from a proximal position to a distal position results in the knife blade cutting the at least one anchor and freeing each surgical buttress from the anvil assembly and/or cartridge assembly.
