Summary:A staple cartridge assembly capable of coupling with a cartridge channel of a surgical stapler. The staple cartridge includes a staple cartridge body, a swing gate pivotably coupled with the staple cartridge body, and a bridge member extending across the central slot and located proximally relative to the swing gate. The staple cartridge body defines a central slot dimensioned to slidably receive a firing beam of the surgical stapler. The staple cartridge body includes a proximal end, a distal end, and a staple deck extending between the proximal end and the distal end. The staple deck defines staple openings. The swing gate can pivot between a first position and a second position. The swing gate extends across the central slot in the first position, while the swing gate extends alongside the central slot in the second position. The bridge member defines a closed proximal end of the central slot.
