Abstract:
1. A method of stapling comprising: positioning a stapling device over a linear object along a primary axis within a first plane, a second plane is orthogonal to the primary axis and intersects the first plane at the driving axis, and a roller axis lies in the second plane and is orthogonal to both the primary axis and the driving axis, a stapling angle is oblique to both the first and the second planes, the linear object positioned proximate to a stapling surface and generally parallel to either the primary or the roller axis, the stapling device having an actuation mechanism oriented for actuating movement along the primary axis; activating a trigger in communication with the actuation mechanism of the stapling device and thereby providing energy to a staple ejection mechanism for driving a staple along the driving axis, a crown of the staple being oriented at a staple angle and outward from the primary axis over the linear object and stapling the linear object to the stapling surface, wherein the staple ejection mechanism includes a ramp engaging a roller to translate movement along the primary axis to movement along the driving axis to drive the staple when the trigger is activated.
