    摘要: A surgical stapling apparatus includes a buttress retention assembly. The buttress retention assembly includes a sleeve configured to be detachably coupled with a first jaw member of a tool assembly of the surgical stapling apparatus, and a buttress material. The sleeve includes a proximal hook extending transversely outward from a lateral side of the sleeve, and a mouth including a hook configured to be received in a knife slot of the first jaw member. The mouth includes an inner surface having an inwardly extending boss. The buttress material includes a tab extending transversely outward from a lateral side thereof. The tab defines a proximal slot configured to receive the proximal hook of the sleeve. At least a portion of the distal end portion extends through the mouth of the sleeve. The distal end portion defines a distal slot dimensioned to receive the boss of the sleeve.

    摘要: An adapter assembly includes a knob housing, an outer tube, an end effector, an articulation link, and a sensor assembly. The end effector is movable from a first position where the end effector is aligned with a longitudinal axis defined by the outer tube, to a second position where the end effector is disposed at an angle relative to the longitudinal axis. Longitudinal translation of the articulation link relative to the outer tube causes the end effector to move from its first position to its second position. The sensor assembly includes a first portion disposed in mechanical cooperation with the articulation link, and a second portion disposed at least partially within the outer tube. The sensor assembly is configured to determine an actual amount of articulation of the end effector based on a distance the articulation link move longitudinally relative to the outer tube.

    摘要: A surgical buttress assembly for a surgical stapling apparatus includes a buttress and a release strap. The buttress includes a buttress body portion supporting a toe strap that extends distally from the buttress body portion. The release strap is releasably coupled to the toe strap of the buttress. The release strap is movable relative to the buttress to separate the release strap from the buttress.

    摘要: A surgical stapling device includes a staple reload and a shipping wedge. In embodiments, the shipping wedge is configured to disable the use of a staple reload if the staple reload does not have an actuation sled. In other embodiments, the actuation sled includes a readable identifier that facilitates confirmation of the presence of an actuation sled within a staple reload from a location externally of the staple reload.
