FAQ's

What are Surgical Staplers?

Surgical staplers are substitute for stitches to close wounds or connect tissues, such as with the lungs or bowels, in thousands of operations each year. Since there is such a high use of surgical staplers, defective staplers can lead to a large number of injuries and deaths.

How Can a Surgical Stapler be Defective?

- When staples do not close properly many patients experienced either leaking of fluid or blood.
