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;
a dispersion assembly operatively associated with the approximation assembly, the dispersion assembly including at least one angled surface relative to the longitudinal axis of the body portion defining at least one channel interposed between the anvil assembly and the body portion and being configured to dispense a fluid therefrom, wherein the dispersion assembly includes a manifold having a plurality of ejection ports for dispensing;
a first wound treatment material; and
a second wound treatment material; and
at least one conduit for conducting the first and second wound treatment material to the dispersion assembly,wherein a distal end portion of the manifold is tapered at an angle relative to the longitudinal axis of the body portion.

Abstract
According to an aspect of the present disclosure, an apparatus for forming an anastomosis between adjacent sections of tissue is provided. The apparatus includes a body portion; an actuation assembly operatively supported at a proximal end of the body portion; an anvil assembly movably mounted at the 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 toward and away from the tubular body portion; a dispersion assembly operatively associated with the approximation assembly, the dispersion assembly including at least one angled surface defining at least one channel interposed between the anvil assembly and the body portion and being configured to dispense a fluid therefrom; and at least one conduit for conducting wound treatment material to the dispersion assembly.
