Patent ID: 7909039

Claim:
A method for operating an intraluminal stapler having an operating staple, the method comprising: pressing a trigger until a manipulating portion of the trigger contacts an elastic member; after the manipulating portion of the trigger has contacted the elastic member, pushing a push member button such that a connection member connected to the push member button moves a cutter spaced in parallel from the operating staple, and thus pushes the operating staple through a plurality of suturing tissues such that an end of the operating staple protrudes from the plurality of suturing tissues; and after the operating staple has been pushed through the plurality of suturing tissues, linearly pushing the elastic member by working the trigger again, thereby pushing a support member toward the end of the operating staple and bending the operating staple, thereby closely suturing the plurality of suturing tissues, wherein the support member contacts the end of the operating staple before it contacts either of the plurality of suturing tissues.
