摘要：A medical staple formed from a nitinol wire, the staple having two elongatedarms which extend upwardly and outwardly from a central loop in two opposinggenerally semicircular courses forming an arc extending upwardly and outwardly and anend second comprising a sharpened endpoint, the endpoint being the arms bendableunder resistance, is disclosed. In some embodiments the arms extend upwardly on aparallel course and then outwardly. The material is preferably an alloy with hyperelasticcharacteristics. The staples are placed in a flexible endoscope and a lumen catheterwithin the endoscope, using a hook or forceps in the lumen catheter having a distal end in
the lumen of the catheter and the staple distal to the forceps in folded configurationwith the arms folded inward in the lumen catheter, positioning the distal end of thelumen catheter at a location in the patient's gastrointestinal tract where stapling isdesired, moving the forceps distally so as to force the staple forward out of the lumencatheter and cause the end points to pierce the patient's inner wall of thegastrointestinal tract.
