Summary: | A method of manually operating a surgical tool includes arranging the surgical tool adjacent a patient, the surgical tool including a drive housing having opposing first and second ends, a spline extending between the first and second ends and being rotatably coupled to a drive input at the first end, a drive gear coupled to and rotatable with the spline, a carriage movably mounted to the spline and housing an activating mechanism operatively coupled to the drive gear such that rotation of the spline actuates the activating mechanism, and a bailout mechanism arranged at the second end and including a lever engageable with the spline. The lever is movable relative to the spline to engage the lever allow the lever to be manually rotated to rotate the spline and the drive gear to manually actuate the activating mechanism. |
