摘要：A clamping device for dispensing surgical fasteners includes a lower arm having a proximal end, a distal end, and a longitudinal axis extending between the proximal and distal ends, and an upper arm pivotally connected with the lower arm. An actuator is coupled with the upper and lower arms for moving the distal ends of the arms toward one another for closing the clamping device. A surgical fastener dispenser is secured to the distal end of the lower arm. The dispenser includes a cartridge body having a top surface with a surgical fastener dispenser opening. A pad is pivotally connected to the distal end of the upper arm. When the clamping device is closed, a bottom surface of the pad applies a clamping force upon the top surface of the cartridge body for dispensing one of the surgical fasteners at an angle that is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis.

主权项：1. A clamping device for dispensing surgical fasteners comprising: a lower arm having a proximal end, a distal end, and a longitudinal axis extending between the proximal and distal ends; an upper arm having a proximal end pivotally connected with said lower arm and having a distal end that opposes the distal end of said lower arm; an actuator coupled with said upper and lower arms for moving the distal ends of said upper and lower arms toward one another for closing said clamping device; a surgical fastener dispenser secured to the distal end of said lower arm, said surgical fastener dispenser including a cartridge body having a top surface with a surgical fastener dispenser opening; a plurality of surgical fasteners pre-loaded into said cartridge body; and a pad pivotally connected to the distal end of said upper arm via a pivotal connection, said pad having a bottom surface that opposes said dispenser opening, wherein when said clamping device is closed said pivotal connection between said pad and the distal end of said upper arm allows said pad to pivot and self-adjust relative to the distal end of said upper arm when the distal end of said upper arm is pivoted toward said cartridge body so that said bottom surface of said pad applies a clamping force through tissue onto said top surface of said cartridge body for dispensing one of said surgical fasteners from said dispenser opening.
