Testing of a new prototype surgical stapler that automates the rollover sleeve technique for venous anastomoses

The creation of successful vascular anastomoses is of primary importance in many surgical fields. Numerous attempts to automate this process have been made. These techniques have slowly gained acceptance, but their use is still limited. This report details feasibility testing of a new prototype stap...
