A tissue thickness compensator can comprise a compensator body and at least one vessel contained in the compensator body. The vessel can define an inner cavity which can comprise an inner atmosphere having a pressure which is lower than the atmospheric pressure of the atmosphere surrounding the tissue thickness compensator. In at least one embodiment, the vessel and the compensator body can be maintained in a collapsed state until staples are fired through the vessel. At such point, the vessel can re-expand and apply a biasing force to tissue captured within the staples.

1. A staple cartridge, comprising: a cartridge body comprising staple cavities;staples removably positioned with said staple cavities, wherein said staples are ejectable from said staple cavities; anda compensator comprising a vessel, wherein said vessel defines a sealed inner cavity, wherein said sealed inner cavity contains an inner atmosphere, wherein said inner atmosphere has a pressure less than atmospheric pressure when said vessel is in an unruptured state, and wherein said staples are configured to rupture said vessel when said staples are ejected from said staple cavities. 2. The staple cartridge of claim 1, wherein said compensator is expandable between a collapsed configuration and an expanded configuration when said vessel is ruptured by said staples. 3. The staple cartridge of claim 2, wherein said vessel is defined by a vessel wall, wherein said vessel wall is circular when said compensator is in said expanded configuration, and wherein said vessel wall is flattened when said compensator is in said collapsed configuration. 4. The staple cartridge of claim 1, wherein said cartridge body comprises a deck, wherein each said staple cavity defines an opening in said deck, and wherein said compensator is releasably retained to said deck. 5. The staple cartridge of claim 4, wherein said cartridge body comprises a first end, a second end, and a longitudinal axis extending between said first end and said second end, and wherein said vessel is aligned with said longitudinal axis. 6. The staple cartridge of claim 4, wherein said cartridge body comprises a first end, a second end, and a longitudinal axis extending between said first end and said second end, and wherein said vessel extends in a direction which is traverse to said longitudinal axis. 7. The staple cartridge of claim 4, wherein said vessel is positioned over said staple cavities. 8. The staple cartridge of claim 1, wherein said compensator further comprises a first sheet of material and a second sheet of material, and wherein said vessel is positioned intermediate said first sheet of material and said second sheet of material. 9. The staple cartridge of claim 1, wherein said vessel is defined by a vessel wall, and wherein said vessel wall is comprised of an absorbable material. 10. The staple cartridge of claim 1, wherein each said staple is configured to capture at least a portion of said compensator therein when said staples are ejected. 11. The staple cartridge of claim 1, further comprising a medicament releasably contained in said vessel. 12. The staple cartridge of claim 1, wherein said compensator contains an antibiotic. 13. A staple cartridge, comprising: a cartridge body comprising staple cavities;staples removably positioned with said staple cavities, wherein said staples are ejectable from said staple cavities; anda compensator comprising a vessel, wherein said vessel defines a sealed inner cavity, wherein said sealed inner cavity contains an inner atmosphere, wherein said inner atmosphere has a pressure less than atmospheric pressure when said vessel is in an unruptured state. 14. The staple cartridge of claim 13, wherein said vessel is defined by a vessel wall comprised of a bioabsorbable material, and wherein said compensator is expandable between a collapsed configuration and an expanded configuration after said vessel wall has been at least partially bioabsorbed. 15. The staple cartridge of claim 14, wherein said vessel wall is circular when said compensator is in said expanded configuration, and wherein said vessel wall is flattened when said compensator is in said collapsed configuration. 16. The staple cartridge of claim 13, wherein said cartridge body comprises a deck, wherein each said staple cavity defines an opening in said deck, and wherein said compensator is releasably retained to said deck. 17. The staple cartridge of claim 16, wherein said cartridge body comprises a first end, a second end, and a longitudinal axis extending between said first end and said second end, and wherein said vessel is aligned with said longitudinal axis. 18. The staple cartridge of claim 16, wherein said cartridge body comprises a first end, a second end, and a longitudinal axis extending between said first end and said second end, and wherein said vessel extends in a direction which is traverse to said longitudinal axis. 19. The staple cartridge of claim 16, wherein said vessel is positioned over said staple cavities. 20. The staple cartridge of claim 13, wherein said compensator further comprises a first sheet of material and a second sheet of material, and wherein said vessel is positioned intermediate said first sheet of material and said second sheet of material. 21. The staple cartridge of claim 13, further comprising a medicament releasably contained in said vessel. 22. The staple cartridge of claim 13, wherein said compensator contains an antibiotic. 23. A staple cartridge, comprising: a cartridge body comprising staple cavities;staples removably positioned with said staple cavities, wherein said staples are ejectable from said staple cavities; anda compensator comprising a plurality of vessels, wherein each said vessel defines a sealed inner cavity, wherein each said sealed inner cavity contains an inner atmosphere, and wherein each said inner atmosphere has a pressure less than atmospheric pressure when said vessels are in an unruptured state. 24. The staple cartridge of claim 23, further comprising a medicament releasably contained in said vessels. 25. The staple cartridge of claim 23, wherein said compensator contains an antibiotic. 26. A staple cartridge, comprising: a cartridge body comprising a plurality of staple cavities;a plurality of staples removably positioned within said staple cavities; anda layer comprising an enclosed void, wherein said enclosed void comprises an inner atmosphere, wherein said inner atmosphere comprises a pressure less than atmospheric pressure when said enclosed void is in an unruptured state. 27. The staple cartridge of claim 26, further comprising a medicament releasably contained in said enclosed void. 28. The staple cartridge of claim 26, wherein said layer contains an antibiotic. 29. The staple cartridge of claim 26, wherein said layer further comprises a tissue thickness compensator. 30. A staple cartridge, comprising: a cartridge body comprising a plurality of staple cavities;a plurality of staples removably positioned within said staple cavities; anda layer comprising an enclosed void, wherein said enclosed void defines a sealed inner cavity, wherein said sealed inner cavity comprises an inner atmosphere, wherein said inner atmosphere comprises one of a pressure less than atmospheric pressure and a pressure greater than atmospheric pressure when said enclosed void is in an uncompressed, unruptured state. 31.
