Abstract
A staple cartridge including: a staple opening containing an unformed staple, the staple having a first leg portion and a second leg portion; and a set of guides disposed adjacent the staple opening. When the staple exits the staple opening, the first leg portion has a first interaction with the guides and the second leg portion has a second interaction with the guides, the second interaction being different than the first interaction. The first interaction and the second interaction correspond to a degree of plastic deformation of the first leg portion and the second leg portion, respectively.
