Surgical staplers designed to deliver staples in a single row or multiple staggered rows following a linear pattern. These staplers may include parallel closing jaws, either U- or V-shaped (placing a double staggered row of staples), or a forked structure (placing two double staggered rows of staples). Some linear staplers include articulating and/or flexible components between the body and jaws to facilitate positioning. Staplers can be reloadable, single-use devices.
