Buttress support design for EEA anvil
First Claim
1. An apparatus for joining two hollow organ sections with an annular array of surgical staples, the apparatus comprising:
- a staple cartridge component including a plurality of surgical staples in the annular array;
an anvil component including an anvil member and a shaft extending therefrom, the anvil member defining a plurality of staple pockets for deforming the plurality of surgical staples, the anvil component movable relative to the staple cartridge component between spaced apart and approximated positions to adjustably clamp tissue between the staple cartridge and anvil components;
a buttress member concentrically aligned with the plurality of staple pockets defined in the anvil member; and
a buttress mount detachably secured with the shaft of the anvil component, the buttress mount including an annular ring member and at least one support member radially extending outward from the annular ring member to secure the buttress member to the anvil member, the at least one support member at least partially underlying the buttress member to provide support thereto, wherein the buttress mount is separate from the buttress member, and the annular ring member of the buttress mount is secured to the shaft of the anvil component.

Abstract
An apparatus for joining two hollow organ sections with an annular array of surgical staples includes a staple cartridge, an anvil, a buttress member, and a buttress mount. In particular, the staple cartridge includes a plurality of surgical staples in an annular array. The anvil includes an anvil member and a shaft extending therefrom. The anvil member defines a plurality of staple pockets for deforming the surgical staples. The anvil is movable relative to the staple cartridge component between spaced apart and approximated positions to adjustably clamp tissue between the staple cartridge and the anvil. The buttress member is concentrically aligned with the plurality of staple pockets defined in the anvil member. The buttress mount is detachably secured with the shaft of the anvil. The buttress mount includes at least one support member radially extending outward to secure the buttress member to the anvil member.
