A surgical staple comprising: a body including: a first leg having a first end portion and a second end portion; a second leg having a first end portion and a second end portion; and a backspan including: a first portion having a looped member, the looped member including a first end portion and a second end portion; a second portion extending between the first end portion of the first leg and the first end portion of the looped member, the second portion defining a first axis ("X1-X1"); and a third portion extending between the first end portion of the second leg and the second end portion of the looped member, the third portion defining a second axis ("X2-X2"), wherein the first axis is laterally offset from the second axis to define an offset distance ("OD") between the first axis and the second axis; wherein the surgical staple includes an unformed configuration and a formed configuration, wherein in the unformed configuration the second portion of the backspan extends in a direction parallel to the third portion of the backspan, the second and third portions each being substantially linear and in lateral contact along their length in the unformed configuration; and wherein the looped member of the backspan includes an apex, wherein in the unformed configuration, the apex is spaced apart from each of the second portion and the third portion of the backspan a first distance ("D1"), and wherein in the formed configuration of the surgical staple, the apex is spaced apart from each of the second portion and the third portion of the backspan a second distance ("D2") less than the first distance of the unformed configuration. a body including: a first leg having a first end portion and a second end portion;
