Abstract: A method of assembling a surgical instrument comprising an end effector body and a retaining member includes inserting a distal end feature of a cable within a recess in the end effector body, the distal end feature extending radially outwardly from the cable. The method further includes positioning a retaining member over the recess in the end effector body to retain the distal end feature of the cable within the retaining member.

Abstract: A surgical instrument includes a shaft having a proximal end and a distal end. An end effector assembly includes an end effector body portion coupled to the distal end of the shaft. A cable having a distal end feature extending radially outwardly from the cable extends through the shaft between the proximal end of the shaft and the distal end of the shaft. A proximal surface of the distal end feature of the cable abuts a distal surface portion of the end effector body portion. A method of assembling a surgical instrument including an end effector body and a retaining member includes inserting a distal end feature of a cable within a recess in the end effector body and positioning a retaining member over the recess in the end effector body to retain the distal end feature of the cable within the retaining member.
