More Information
Summary:An end effector for use by a surgeon to staple an anatomical structure of a patient during a minimally invasive procedure can include an anvil, a cartridge, and a knife. The anvil includes a proximal end, a distal end, and a face that is positionable on a first side of the anatomical structure. The cartridge is configured to house a plurality of staples and includes a proximal end, a distal end, and a face that is positionable on a second side of the anatomical structure. The knife has a cutting edge, the knife being operably configured to move from a first position at about a distal end of the end effector to a second position at about a proximal end of the end effector. The distal end of the anvil is movably coupled to the distal end of the cartridge.
