Summary:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a surgical stapling and cutting device and method for using the device that overcome disadvantages and provide an articulating surgical end effector.SOLUTION: A medical device includes: a control handle having an articulation joint actuator; a surgical end effector; and a passive articulating joint connecting the end effector to the control handle. The articulation joint actuator, when unactuated, holds the passive articulation joint and, thereby, the end effector, in a substantially fixed articulation position; when actuated, releases the passive articulation joint into a freely articulating state to permit free articulation of the end effector with respect to the control handle dependent upon external forces acting upon the end effector.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 4 【課題】欠点を克服し、連接型外科用端部作動体を提供する外科用ステープリング及び切断デバイス及びこのデバイスを使用する方法を提供する。【解決手段】医療デバイスは連接ジョイントアクチュエータを有する制御ハンドルと、外科用端部作動体と、当該端部作動体を前記制御ハンドルに連結する受動的連接ジョイントとを具える。非作動状態で、連接ジョイントアクチュエータが受動的連接ジョイント、及びこれによって端部作動体を、実質的に固定された連接位置に保持し、作動状態では、受動的連接ジョイントを自在な連接状態に解放して、端部作動体に作用する外力に応じて制御ハンドルに対して端部作動体を自在に連接する。【選択図】図４
