Abstract

An endoscopic surgical instrument for deploying a two part fastener having a male fastener part and a female fastener part, includes a tube having a proximal end and a distal end. An end effector is coupled to said distal end of said tube and is configured to hold the male fastener part and the female fastener part in opposed relation. An actuator is coupled to said proximal end of said tube and is configured to actuate the end effector. A shearing device may be positioned proximate the end effector to shear off a tip of the male fastener part after the male and female fastener parts are moved into locking relation. In addition, the surgical instrument may include a male fastener part having a shaft with a plurality of detent positions. Further, the male fastener part may include a base and a shaft pivotally connected to the base.

Claims (24)

1. An endoscopic surgical instrument for deploying a two part fastener having a male fastener part and a female fastener part, comprising:
a tube having a proximal end and a distal end;
an end effector coupled to said distal end of said tube, said end effector configured to hold the male fastener part and the female fastener part in opposed relation;
an actuator coupled to said proximal end of said tube and configured to actuate the end effector; and a shearing device proximate said end effector and configured to shear off a tip of said male fastener part after the male and female fastener parts are moved into a locking relation.
2. The endoscopic surgical instrument of claim 1, wherein said end effector comprises first and second effector arms connected in pivotal relation, wherein the first effector arm is configured to hold the male fastener and the second effector arm is configured to hold the female fastener.
3. The endoscopic surgical instrument of claim 2, wherein said effector arms each include a frame member and an ejector arm, wherein said frame member and said ejector arm are configured to move in a sliding relation so as to eject the respective male and female fastener parts in said locking relation from the end effector.
4. The endoscopic surgical instrument of claim 2, wherein said shearing device is positioned at a distal end of said second effector arm.
5. The endoscopic surgical instrument of claim 4, wherein said shearing device includes a hole defined by said second effector arm, the hole having an edge that is capable of shearing the tip.
6. The endoscopic surgical instrument of claim 1, wherein said male fastener part includes a base and a shaft pivotally connected to the base.
7. The endoscopic surgical instrument of claim 6, wherein the shaft is pivotally connected to the base by a hinge.
8. The endoscopic surgical instrument of claim 6, wherein said shaft is configured to move between a first position in which the shaft is positioned in substantially the same plane as the base and a second position in which the shaft is positioned substantially perpendicular to said base.
9. The endoscopic surgical instrument of claim 1, wherein said male fastener part includes a base and a shaft connected to the base, wherein the shaft includes a plurality of detent positions.
10. The endoscopic surgical instrument of claim 9, wherein the female fastener part is capable of resting in said locking relation at each of said detent positions.
11. The endoscopic surgical instrument of claim 1, wherein said tube is a flexible tube.
12. The endoscopic surgical instrument of claim 1, further comprising at least one control member extending through the tube and connecting at a proximal end to the actuator and at a distal end to the end effector.
13. An endoscopic surgical instrument for deploying a two part fastener having a male fastener part and a female fastener part, comprising:
a tube having a proximal end and a distal end;
an end effector coupled to said distal end of said tube, said end effector configured to hold the male fastener part and the female fastener part in opposed relation, the male fastener part including a shaft having a plurality of detent positions; and an actuator coupled to said proximal end of said tube and said actuator configured to actuate the end effector.
14. The endoscopic surgical instrument of claim 13, wherein the female fastener part is capable of resting in a locking relation at each of said detent positions.
15. The endoscopic surgical instrument of claim 13, wherein said male fastener part includes a base and a shaft pivotally connected to the base.
16. The endoscopic surgical instrument of claim 15, wherein the shaft is pivotally connected to the base by a hinge.
17. The endoscopic surgical instrument of claim 15, wherein said shaft is configured to move between a first position in which the shaft is positioned in substantially the same plane as the base and a second position in which the shaft is positioned substantially perpendicular to said base.
18. An endoscopic surgical instrument for deploying a two part fastener having a male fastener part and a female fastener part, comprising:
a tube having a proximal end and a distal end;
an end effector coupled to said distal end of said tube, said end effector configured to hold the male fastener part and the female fastener part in opposed relation, said male fastener part including a base and a shaft pivotally connected to the base; and an actuator coupled to said proximal end of said tube and said actuator configured to actuate the end effector.
19. The endoscopic surgical instrument of claim 18, wherein the shaft is pivotally connected to the base by a hinge.
20. The endoscopic surgical instrument of claim 19, wherein said shaft is configured to move between a first position in which the shaft is positioned in substantially the same plane as the base and a second position in which the shaft is positioned substantially perpendicular to said base.
21. An endoscopic surgical instrument for deploying a two part fastener having a male fastener part and a female fastener part, comprising:
a tube having a proximal end and a distal end;
an end effector coupled to said distal end of said tube, said end effector configured to hold the male fastener part and the female fastener part in opposed relation, wherein said male fastener part includes a base and a shaft pivotally connected to the base, the shaft having a plurality of detent positions;
an actuator coupled to said proximal end of said tube and said actuator configured to actuate the end effector; and a shearing device proximate said end effector and configured to shear off a tip of said male fastener part after the male and female fastener parts are moved into a locking relation.
22. The endoscopic surgical instrument of claim 21, wherein said female fastener part is capable of resting in said locking relation at each of said detent positions.
23. The endoscopic surgical instrument of claim 21, wherein the shaft is pivotally connected to the base by a hinge.
24. The endoscopic surgical instrument of claim 23, wherein said shaft is configured to move between a first position in which the shaft is positioned in substantially the same plane as the base and a second position in which the shaft is positioned substantially perpendicular to said base.
