Abstract
A medical stapler system according to the present invention is equipped with a medical stapler and a staple that closes tissue. The medical stapler is equipped with: a first grasper and a second grasper that have a longitudinal axis and that grasp the tissue therebetween when in a closed state; a holder that retains the staple; a housing body that houses the holder while a needle of the staple projects from a first contact surface of the first grasper; and a drive mechanism that slides the holder along the longitudinal axis. The second grasper has a second contact surface that grasps the tissue between the first contact surface and the second contact surface, a recessed portion that houses the needle without causing penetration or deformation when a closed state, and an anvil against which the needle is pushed and deformed when the closed state.
