The ornamental design for an applicator for a surgical stapler buttress, as shown and described.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an applicator for a surgical stapler buttress, showing our new design;

FIG. 2 is a front elevational view of the applicator for a surgical stapler buttress of FIG. 1, the opposite rear elevational view being a mirror image thereof;

FIG. 3 is a right side elevational view of the applicator for a surgical stapler buttress of FIG. 1;

FIG. 4 is a left side elevational view of the applicator for a surgical stapler buttress of FIG. 1; and,

FIG. 5 is a top plan view of the applicator for a surgical stapler buttress of FIG. 1, the opposite bottom plan view being a mirror image thereof.

The broken lines in the drawings are included for the purpose of defining the boundary of the claim, it being understood that the region between the broken lines and the broken lines themselves form no part of the claimed design.
