Abstract
A staple instrument includes a staple holder comprising a pair of jaws, a drive shaft, a rotational handle, and a coupling to convert rotational motion of the handle into axial advancement of the shaft. A distal end of the shaft cooperates with the staple holder to cause three-point bending of a staple bridge to thereby open the legs of the staple.
