Abstract

Surgical stapling devices have a surgical buttress attached to an anvil jaw member, a cartridge jaw member, or both. In use, the surgical buttress reinforces a staple line formed upon application of staples from the surgical stapling device and minimizes leaks which may exude from the staple line and/or tissue being stapled by the surgical stapling device.
