[0345] The terms “proximal” and “distal” are used herein with reference to a clinician manipulating the handle portion of the surgical instrument. The term “proximal” refers to the portion closest to the clinician and the term “distal” refers to the portion located away from the clinician. It will be further appreciated that, for convenience and clarity, spatial terms such as “vertical”, “horizontal”, “up”, and “down” may be used herein with respect to the drawings. However, surgical instruments are used in many orientations and positions, and these terms are not intended to be limiting and/or absolute.
[0346] Various exemplary devices and methods are provided for performing laparoscopic and minimally invasive surgical procedures. However, the reader will readily appreciate that the various methods and devices disclosed herein can be used in numerous surgical procedures and applications including, for example, in connection with open surgical procedures. As the present Detailed Description proceeds, the reader will further appreciate that the various instruments disclosed herein can be inserted into a body in any way, such as through a natural orifice, through an incision or puncture hole formed in tissue, etc. The working portions or end effector portions of the instruments can be inserted directly into a patient's body or can be inserted through an access device that has a working channel through which the end effector and elongate shaft of a surgical instrument can be advanced.
[0347] A surgical stapling system can comprise a shaft and an end effector extending from the shaft. The end effector comprises a first jaw and a second jaw. The first jaw comprises a staple cartridge. The staple cartridge is insertable into and removable from the first jaw; however, other embodiments are envisioned in which a staple cartridge is not removable from, or at least readily replaceable from, the first jaw. The second jaw comprises an anvil configured to deform staples ejected from the staple cartridge. The second jaw is pivotable relative to the first jaw about a closure axis; however, other embodiments are envisioned in which the first jaw is pivotable relative to the second jaw. The surgical stapling system further comprises an articulation joint configured to permit the end effector to be rotated, or articulated, relative to the shaft. The end effector is rotatable about an articulation axis extending through the articulation joint. Other embodiments are envisioned which do not include an articulation joint.
[0348] The staple cartridge comprises a cartridge body. The cartridge body includes a proximal end, a distal end, and a deck extending between the proximal end and the distal end. In use, the staple cartridge is positioned on a first side of the tissue to be stapled and the anvil is positioned on a second side of the tissue. The anvil is moved toward the staple cartridge to compress and clamp the tissue against the deck. Thereafter, staples removably stored in the cartridge body can be deployed into the tissue. The cartridge body includes staple cavities defined therein wherein staples are removably stored in the staple cavities. The staple cavities are arranged in six longitudinal rows. Three rows of staple cavities are positioned on a first side of a longitudinal slot and three rows of staple cavities are positioned on a second side of the longitudinal slot. Other arrangements of staple cavities and staples may be possible.
[0349] The staples are supported by staple drivers in the cartridge body. The drivers are movable between a first, or unfired position, and a second, or fired, position to eject the staples from the staple cavities. The drivers are retained in the cartridge body by a retainer which extends around the bottom of the cartridge body and includes resilient members configured to grip the cartridge body and hold the retainer to the cartridge body. The drivers are movable between their unfired positions and their fired positions by a sled. The sled is movable between a proximal position adjacent the proximal end and a distal position adjacent the distal end. The sled comprises a plurality of ramped surfaces configured to slide under the drivers and lift the drivers, and the staples supported thereon, toward the anvil.
[0350] Further to the above, the sled is moved distally by a firing member. The firing member is configured to contact the sled and push the sled toward the distal end. The longitudinal slot defined in the cartridge body is configured to receive the firing member. The anvil also includes a slot configured to receive the firing member. The firing member further comprises a first cam which engages the first jaw and a second cam which engages the second jaw. As the firing member is advanced distally, the first cam and the second cam can control the distance, or tissue gap, between the deck of the staple cartridge and the anvil. The firing member also comprises a knife configured to incise the tissue captured intermediate the staple cartridge and the anvil. It is desirable for the knife to be positioned at least partially proximal to the ramped surfaces such that the staples are ejected ahead of the knife.
[0351] A surgical instrument comprising a handle 110 and a shaft assembly 1100 removably attachable to the handle 110 is illustrated in FIGS. 1-1J . The shaft assembly 1000 comprises an attachment portion 1100 configured to releasably attach the shaft assembly 1000 to the handle 110, a frame assembly 1200 extending distally from the attachment portion 1100, and an end effector rotatably coupled to the frame assembly 1200 about an articulation joint 1700. The end effector comprises a cartridge jaw 2020—which is configured to receive a staple cartridge 2010 therein—and an anvil jaw 2030. Referring primarily to FIG. 1E , the anvil jaw 2030 is rotatably coupled to the cartridge jaw 2020 about pins 2025. The shaft assembly 1000 further comprises a closure system 1300 configured to move the anvil jaw 2030 toward the cartridge jaw 2020, as discussed in greater detail further below. In addition, the shaft assembly 1000 further comprises a firing system 1400 configured to eject the staples removably stored in the staple cartridge 2010 and deform the staples against the anvil jaw 2030.
[0352] Referring primarily to FIGS. 1A, 1C, and 1D , the attachment portion 1100 comprises a lower frame 1110 and, in addition, an upper frame 1120 attached to the lower frame 1110. The upper frame 1120 comprises a latch 1130 which is configured to releasably engage the frames 1110 and 1120 to a frame of the handle 110. The attachment portion 1100 further comprises housing portions 1140 and a nozzle 1150 attached to the housing portions 1140. The housing portions 1140 comprise one or more grooves and/or one or more walls defined therein which are configured to permit the housing portions 1140 and the nozzle 1150 to rotate—but not translate, or at least substantially translate—relative to the frames 1110 and 1120. Moreover, the housing portions 1140 comprise one or more grooves and/or one or more walls defined therein which are configured to mount the frame assembly 1200 thereto. The frame assembly 1200 is engaged with the housing portions 1140 such that the frame assembly 1200, the housing portions 1140, and the nozzle 1150 are rotatable together about a longitudinal axis 1001 of the shaft assembly 1000.
[0353] Referring primarily to FIGS. 1D, 1E, and 1F , the frame assembly 1200 comprises a proximal frame portion 1210, an intermediate frame portion 1220, and a distal frame portion 1230. The frame portions 1210, 1220, and 1230 comprise a rigid, or at least substantially rigid, spine of the shaft assembly 1100. The proximal end of the proximal frame portion 1210 is mounted to a slip joint interface 1260. The slip joint interface 1260 co-operates with a slip joint interface 1160 defined on the lower frame 1110 of the attachment portion 1100 which is configured to permit the frame assembly 1200 to rotate relative to the frames 1110 and 1120, as discussed above. In addition, the slip joint interfaces 1160 and 1260 co-operate to provide an electrical interface which can electrically couple sensors in the end effector, for example, and the attachment portion 1100. The attachment portion 1100 comprises one or more circuits in electrical communication with the slip joint interface 1160 which can be placed in electrical communication with a control module and/or microprocessor of the handle 110, for example, when the shaft assembly 1000 is attached to the handle 110.
[0354] Further to the above, referring primarily to FIGS. 1D, 1E, and 1F , the frame assembly 1200 further comprises a spine cover 1250. The spine cover 1250 co-operates with the frame portions 1210, 1220, and 1230 to enclose, or at least substantially enclose, the firing system 1400 therein. The frame assembly 1200 further comprises spacers 1280 which are configured to prevent, or at least limit, relative movement between the frame assembly 1200 and the closure system 1300. Each spacer 1280 comprises one or more pins extending therefrom which extend into apertures defined in the closure system 1300.
[0355] Referring primarily to FIGS. 1D, 1E, and 1F , the closure assembly 1300 comprises a closure actuator 1310 that is operably coupled with a closure trigger 130 of the handle 110 when the shaft assembly 1000 is assembled to the handle 110. The closure assembly 1300 further comprises a closure tube 1330 and, in addition, a tube retainer 1320 configured to mount the closure tube 1330 to the closure actuator 1310. More specifically, the tube retainer 1320 mounts the closure tube 1330 to the closure retainer 1310 such that the closure retainer 1310 can push the closure tube 1330 distally and pull the closure tube 1330 proximally. Referring primarily to FIG. 1E , the closure assembly 1300 further comprises a distal closure tube 1340 which is rotatably coupled to the closure tube 1330 via articulation links 1350. When the closure tube 1330 is pushed distally by the closure actuator 1310, the closure tube 1330 pushes the distal closure tube 1340 into engagement with the anvil jaw 2030 and moves the anvil jaw 2030 toward the cartridge jaw 2020. When the closure tube 1330 is pulled proximally by the closure actuator 1310, the distal closure tube 1340 can disengage from the anvil jaw 2030 which can allow the anvil jaw 2030 to be opened. In other instances, the distal closure tube 1340 can pull the anvil jaw 2030 into an open, or an at least partially open, position when the distal closure tube 1340 is retracted.
[0356] Referring primarily to FIGS. 1D, 1E, and 1F , the firing assembly 1400 comprises a proximal firing rod 1410 that is operably engaged with a firing system of the handle 110 when the shaft assembly 1000 is assembled to the handle 110. The firing assembly 1400 further comprises an intermediate firing rod 1420 coupled to the proximal firing rod 1410 and, in addition, a firing bar 1430 coupled to the intermediate firing rod 1420. The firing bar 1430 is comprised of a plurality of flexible layers, but can comprise any suitable configuration. The firing assembly 1400 further comprises a coupling member 1440 mounted to the firing bar 1430. When the firing assembly 1400 is advanced distally by the firing system of the handle 110, the coupling member 1440 pushes a sled 2015 of the staple cartridge 2010 distally to eject the staples from the staple cartridge 2010 and into tissue captured between the staple cartridge 2010 and the anvil jaw 2030. The coupling member 1440 also comprises a cutting edge which incises the tissue as the coupling member 1440 is advanced distally to eject the staples.
[0357] Further to the above, referring to FIGS. 1F and 1I , the shaft assembly 1000 further comprises a frame pin 1240. The frame pin 1240 couples the frame assembly 1200 and the firing assembly 1400 together such that they can rotate in unison about the longitudinal axis 1001 when the nozzle 1150 is rotated about the longitudinal axis 1001, as discussed above. Referring primarily to FIG. 1I , the frame pin 1240 extends through, and is snugly positioned within, an aperture 1222 defined in the intermediate frame portion 1220. The frame pin 1240 also comprises projections 1242 which extend into apertures 1212 defined in the proximal frame portion 1210. Similar to the above, the projections 1242 are snugly positioned in the apertures 1212. In addition, the frame pin 1240 also comprises a slot 1244 defined therein. The proximal firing rod 1410 extends through the slot 1244 and slides relative to the frame pin 1240 when the proximal firing rod 1410 is moved proximally and distally, as discussed above. The sidewalls of the slot 1244 are spaced apart from one another in order to closely receive the lateral sides 1412 of the proximal firing rod 1410 therebetween. As a result, the frame pin 1240 can transfer the rotation of the frame assembly 1200 to the firing assembly 1400 when the frame assembly 1200 is rotated about the longitudinal axis 1001, as discussed above. Referring primarily to FIG. 1F , the closure tube 1330 can also comprise a clearance aperture 1332 defined therein which is configured to receive a portion of the frame pin 1240 therein.
[0358] Referring primarily to FIGS. 1E, 1F, 1G, and 1H , the shaft assembly 1000 further comprises an articulation system 1500 configured to articulate the end effector about the articulation joint 1700. The articulation system 1500 comprises an articulation driver 1510 mounted to the proximal firing rod 1410 and, in addition, an articulation bar 1520 which is selectively engageable with the articulation driver 1510. When the articulation bar 1520 is engaged with the articulation driver 1510, the movement of the proximal firing rod 1410 is transmitted to the articulation bar 1520. In such instances, the shaft assembly 1000 is in an articulation operating mode. When the articulation bar 1520 is not engaged with the articulation driver 1510, the movement of the proximal firing rod 1410 is not transmitted to the articulation bar 1520. In such instances, the shaft assembly 1000 is in a firing operating mode. As a result of the above, the movement of the firing assembly 1400 is selectively transferable to the articulation system 1500. As discussed in greater detail below, the shaft assembly 1000 further comprises a switching system 1600 configured to switch the shaft assembly 1000 between its articulation operating mode and its firing operating mode.
[0359] Referring primarily to FIGS. 1C and 1F , the switching system 1600 comprises a shift collar 1610 and a shift plate 1620. The shift collar 1610 is rotatable about the longitudinal axis 1001 of the shaft assembly 1000 between an unactuated position and an actuated position. The closure assembly 1300 is configured to drive the switching system 1600 and rotate the shift collar 1610 from its unactuated position to its actuated position when the closure assembly 1300 is advanced distally to close the anvil jaw 2030. The shift collar 1610 is configured to drive the shift plate 1620 longitudinally from a first position to a second position when the shift collar 1610 is moved from its unactuated position to its actuated position. When the shift plate 1620 is in its first position, the articulation bar 1520 is operably engaged with the proximal firing rod 1410 and the shaft assembly 1000 is in its articulation operating mode. In such instances, the proximal and distal movement of the firing assembly 1400 is transferred to the articulation assembly 1500. When the shift plate 1620 is moved into its second position, the shift plate 1620 operably decouples the articulation bar 1520 from the proximal firing rod 1410 and the shaft assembly 1000 is in its firing operating mode. In such instances, the proximal and distal movement of the firing assembly 1400 is not transferred to the articulation assembly 1500.
[0360] When the closure assembly 1300 is pulled proximally to disengage the distal closure tube 1340 from the anvil jaw 2030, further to the above, the shift collar 1610 can be rotated back into its unactuated position. Referring again to FIG. 1F , the switching system 1600 further comprises a biasing member, or spring, 1630 configured to bias the shift collar 1610 into its unactuated position.
[0361] Referring primarily to FIGS. 1G and 1H , the articulation system 1500 further comprises an articulation assembly 1530 fixedly mounted to the distal frame portion 1230. The articulation assembly 1530 comprises an articulation frame 1540 and, in addition, a lock system 1550 slidably mounted to the articulation frame 1540. The lock system 1550 is slidable in a distal direction to allow the end effector to be rotated about the articulation joint 1700 in a first direction. The lock system 1550 is also slidable in a proximal direction to allow the end effector to be rotated about the articulation joint 1700 in a second direction. The articulation bar 1520 is operably engaged with the lock system 1550 such that the articulation bar 1520 can push the lock system 1550 distally when the articulation bar 1520 is pushed distally by the proximal firing rod 1410. Moreover, the articulation bar 1520 is operably engaged with the lock system 1550 such that the articulation bar 1520 can pull the lock system 1550 proximally when the articulation bar 1520 is pulled proximally by the proximal firing rod 1410.
[0362] Further to the above, the articulation assembly 1530 further comprises an articulation link 1560. Similar to the lock system 1550, the articulation bar 1520 is configured to push the articulation link 1560 distally when the articulation bar 1520 is pushed distally and, correspondingly, configured to pull the articulation link 1560 proximally when the articulation bar 1520 is pulled proximally. The distal end of the articulation link 1560 is engaged with a channel retainer 1570 fixedly mounted in the cartridge jaw 1220. More specifically, the channel retainer 1570 comprises a pin extending therefrom which is positioned within an aperture defined in the articulation link 1560. When the articulation link 1560 is pushed distally, further to the above, the articulation link 1560 drives the end effector in its first direction. When the articulation link 1560 is pulled proximally, the articulation link 1560 drives the end effector in a second, or opposite, direction, as illustrated in FIG. 1H .
[0363] The articulation assembly 1530, further to the above, is configured and arranged such that it prevents the rotation of the end effector about the articulation joint 1700 when the lock system 1550 is in a neutral, or unpushed, state. When the lock system 1550 is pushed distally or pulled proximally by the articulation bar 1520, the articulation assembly 1530 is unlocked so that the end effector can be rotated about the articulation joint 1700. In order to relock the end effector in position, the articulation bar 1520 can be used to re-position the lock system 1550 in its neutral state and/or allow a biasing member to re-position the lock system 1550 in its neutral state.
[0364] Referring again to FIGS. 1G and 1H , the shaft assembly 1000 further comprises a knife guide 1450 positioned within and/or adjacent to the articulation joint 1700. The knife guide 1450 is configured to support the firing bar 1430 when the end effector is in an articulated configuration, as illustrated in FIG. 1H , among other configurations. The knife guide 1450 comprises lateral sidewalls 1454 defined therein which are configured to support and/or guide the layers of the firing bar 1430—especially when the firing bar 1430 is moved proximally and distally, as described above. The knife guide 1450 is configured to rotate within the articulation joint 1700 when the end effector is rotated. More specifically, the knife guide 1450 rotates in a first direction when the end effector is rotated in a first direction and, correspondingly, the knife guide 1450 rotates in a second direction when the end effector is rotated in a second direction. The distal end 1456 of the knife guide 1450 comprises a post extending therefrom which is positioned in an aperture defined in the channel retainer 1570 which can serve as a pivot joint between the knife guide 1450 and the channel retainer 1570.
[0365] Referring primarily to FIGS. 1G and 1H , the shaft assembly 1000 further comprises a cap 1460 engaged with the channel retainer 1570. In at least one instance, the cap 1460 is engaged with the channel retainer 1570 in a snap-fit manner, for example. The cap 1460 is configured to limit the vertical movement of the firing bar 1430 and hold the firing bar 1430 in the knife guide 1450.
[0366] Referring again to FIG. 1H , the knife guide 1450 comprises lateral pushers 1452 extending therefrom. The lateral pushers 1452 are configured to push the tissue of a patient out of the articulation joint 1700 when the end effector and the knife guide 1450 are rotated, as described above. Stated another way, the lateral pushers 1452 are configured to push the tissue away from the pinch points between the cartridge jaw 2020 and the frame assembly 1200, for example. Moreover, the lateral pushers 1452 are configured to block, or close, gaps defined between the cartridge jaw 2020 and the frame assembly 1200.
[0367] A surgical instrument 2000 is illustrated in FIGS. 1-3 . The surgical instrument 2000 comprises a cartridge jaw 2020 and an anvil jaw 2030. The cartridge jaw 2020 comprises a staple cartridge 2010 which includes a plurality of staples removably stored therein. The staple cartridge 2010 is replaceable and can be removed from the cartridge jaw 2020; however, other embodiments are envisioned in which the staple cartridge 2020 is not replaceable. The staple cartridge 2010 comprises a proximal end 2011, a distal end 2013, and a tissue compression surface 2012 extending between the proximal end 2011 and the distal end 2013. The staple cartridge 2010 further comprises staple cavities defined in the tissue compression surface 2012 and staples removably stored in the staple cavities. The anvil jaw 2030 comprises a proximal end 2031, a distal end 2033, and a tissue compression surface 2032 extending between the proximal end 2031 and the distal end 2033. The anvil jaw 2030 further comprises staple forming pockets defined in the tissue compression surface 2032.
[0368] The anvil jaw 2030 is rotatably coupled to the cartridge jaw 2020. Referring to FIG. 2 , the cartridge jaw 2020 comprises apertures 2016 defined on opposite sides thereof. Each aperture 2016 is elongate and extends along a vertical axis 2001. The anvil jaw 2030 comprises projections 2036 that extend laterally therefrom in opposite directions. The projections 2036 are slidably positioned within the apertures 2016. The apertures 2016 and the projections 2036 define a joint about which the anvil jaw 2030 can be rotated relative to the cartridge jaw 2020 between an open position and a closed position. The projections 2036 are closely received between the vertical sidewalls of the apertures 2016 such that proximal and/or distal longitudinal movement of the anvil jaw 2030 relative to the cartridge jaw 2020 is prevented, or at least inhibited. That said, the projections 2036 are movable vertically within the apertures 2016, as described in greater detail further below. In some embodiments, an anvil jaw may comprise a pivot pin about which the anvil jaw is rotatable relative to a cartridge jaw between an open position and a fully-closed position.
[0369] Further to the above, the surgical instrument 2000 comprises a closure member, or tube, 2040 configured to contact the anvil jaw 2030 and move the anvil jaw 2030 from its open position toward its closed position (FIG. 3 ) during a closure stroke. More specifically, the closure tube 2040 comprises a distal tube end 2045 configured to engage a cam surface 2035 defined on the anvil jaw 2030 and rotate the distal end 2033 of the anvil jaw 2030 toward the distal end 2013 of the staple cartridge 2010. The closure tube 2040 slides distally along the cam surface 2035 until the distal tube end 2045 comes into contact with a push shoulder 2037 defined on the anvil jaw 2030. In such instances, the projections 2036 rotate within the apertures 2016 as the anvil jaw 2030 is rotating relative to the cartridge jaw 2020.
[0370] Referring primarily to FIG. 3 , the rotation of the anvil jaw 2030, without more, may result in the tissue gap between the distal end 2013 of the staple cartridge 2010 and the distal end 2033 of the anvil jaw 2030 (DTG) being larger than the tissue gap between the proximal end 2011 of the staple cartridge 2010 and the proximal end 2031 of the anvil jaw 2030 (PTG). When the distal tissue gap DTG is larger than the proximal tissue gap PTG, the tissue captured within the distal tissue gap DTG may experience less clamping force, or compression, than the tissue captured within the proximal tissue gap PTG. Moreover, in such instances, the tissue compression surface 2032 of the anvil jaw 2030 may not be parallel to the tissue compression surface 2012 of the staple cartridge 2010 and, as a result, the staples deformed by the distal end 2033 of the anvil jaw 2030 may be larger than the staples deformed by the proximal end 2031.
[0371] Further to the above, the closure tube 2040 further comprises one or more lift cams 2046 configured to move the distal end 2033 of the anvil jaw 2030 closer to the distal end 2013 of the staple cartridge 2010. The lift cams 2046 of the closure tube 2040 are configured to engage the projections 2036 of the anvil jaw 2030 and push the projections 2036 upwardly within the apertures 2016 during the closure stroke of the closure tube 2040. In such instances, the lift cams 2046 can drive the distal end 2033 of the anvil jaw 2030 toward the distal end 2013 of the staple cartridge 2010 and increase the clamping force applied to the tissue captured within the distal tissue gap DTG. In various instances, the lift cams 2046 can position the anvil jaw 2030 relative to the staple cartridge 2010 such that the distal tissue gap DTG is the same, or at least substantially the same, as the proximal tissue gap PTG; however, the reader should understand that the thickness of the tissue captured between the tissue compression surfaces 2012 and 2032 can affect the distal tissue gap DTG and the proximal tissue gap PTG. In any event, the clamping force applied to the tissue in distal tissue gap DTG can be the same, or at least substantially the same, as the clamping force applied to the tissue in the proximal tissue gap PTG.
[0372] In various instances, further to the above, the tissue captured within the distal tissue gap DTG can be pushed out of the distal tissue gap DTG when the tissue is being incised by a cutting member. In at least one instance, the lift cams 2046 can position the anvil jaw 2030 relative to the staple cartridge 2010 such that the distal tissue gap DTG is smaller than the proximal tissue gap PTG. In such instances, the clamping force applied to the tissue in distal tissue gap DTG can be larger than the clamping force applied to the tissue in the proximal tissue gap PTG. As a result, the tissue captured in the DTG is less likely to be pushed out of the distal tissue gap DTG.
[0373] In at least one sense, further to the above, the distal tube end 2045 of the closure tube 2040 comprises a first, or initial, cam and the lift cams 2046 of the closure tube 2040 comprise a second, or subsequent, cam. That said, the lift cams 2046 can be configured to engage the projections 2036 at any suitable point in the closure stroke. In at least one instance, the lift cams 2046 are configured to engage the projections 2036 at the same time that the distal tube end 2045 engages the push shoulder 2037. In such instances, the distal end 2033 of the anvil jaw 2030 can be pushed downwardly toward the distal end 2013 of the staple cartridge 2010 at the end of the closure stroke. In other instances, the lift cams 2046 are configured to engage the projections 2036 before the distal tube end 2045 engages the push shoulder 2037. In such instances, the distal end 2033 of the anvil jaw 2030 can be cambered downwardly as the anvil jaw 2030 is being closed. In some instances, the lift cams 2046 are configured to engage the projections 2036 after the distal tube end 2045 has engaged the push shoulder 2037. In such instances, the closure tube 2040 can apply a significant clamping force to the tissue at the very end of the closure stroke which includes, one, a push-to-close force component from the distal tube end 2045 and, two, a lift-to-close force component from the lift cams 2046.
[0374] As discussed above, referring again to FIG. 3 , the lift cams 2046 are configured to affect, or close, the distal tissue gap DTG during the closure stroke of the closure tube 2040. The lift cams 2046 do not affect, or at least substantially affect, the proximal tissue gap PTG. In various instances, the tissue positioned in the proximal tissue gap PTG can act as a fulcrum about which the anvil jaw 2030 is rotated when the lift cams 2046 engage the anvil projections 2036. In certain instances, the proximal tissue gap PTG can adjust to the thickness of the tissue captured between the anvil compression surface 2032 and the cartridge compression surface 2012.
[0375] Referring again to FIG. 1 , the anvil jaw 2030 comprises a longitudinal slot 2038 which is configured to receive a portion of a firing assembly, or a cutting member portion of the firing assembly, during a tissue cutting stroke. As described in greater detail below, a firing assembly can comprise a cam member configured to engage the anvil jaw 2030 and position the anvil jaw 2030 relative to the staple cartridge 2010 during the tissue cutting stroke. The longitudinal slot 2038 comprises a cam surface 2039 which is engaged by the firing assembly to compress the tissue, or control the compression of the tissue, captured between the cartridge compression surface 2012 and the anvil compression surface 2032. The cam surface 2039 of the anvil jaw 2030 is parallel to the tissue compression surface 2032. In other embodiments, the cam surface 2039 is not parallel to the tissue compression surface 2032. In at least one such embodiment, the cam surface 2039 extends along a plane which is not parallel to a plane including the tissue compression surface 2032. For instance, the distance between the cam surface 2039 and the tissue compression surface 2032 can be larger at the distal end 2033 of the anvil jaw 2030 as compared to the proximal end 2031. In such instances, the compression force applied to the tissue by the firing assembly can increase as the cutting member portion is progressed through its tissue cutting stroke which can prevent, or at least reduce the possibility of, the tissue being pushed out of the distal tissue gap DTG, for example.
[0376] In various instances, further to the above, the cam surface 2039 of the anvil jaw 2030 can be pointed downwardly toward the distal end 2013 of the cartridge jaw 2010 when the anvil jaw 2030 has reached its fully-closed position.
[0377] A surgical instrument 2100 is illustrated in FIGS. 4 and 5 . The surgical instrument 2100 is similar to the surgical instrument 2000 in many respects. The surgical instrument 2100 comprises a cartridge jaw 2120 and an anvil jaw 2030. The cartridge jaw 2120 comprises a staple cartridge 2010 which includes a plurality of staples removably stored therein. The staple cartridge 2010 is replaceable and can be removed from the cartridge jaw 2120; however, other embodiments are envisioned in which the staple cartridge 2010 is not replaceable. Similar to the above, the anvil jaw 2030 is rotatably coupled to the cartridge jaw 2120. The cartridge jaw 2120 comprises apertures 2116 defined on opposite sides thereof. Each aperture 2116 is elongate and extends along a vertical axis 2001.
[0378] Also similar to the above, the anvil jaw 2030 comprises projections 2036 that extend laterally therefrom in opposite directions. The projections 2036 are slidably positioned within the apertures 2116. The apertures 2116 and the projections 2036 define a joint about which the anvil jaw 2030 can be rotated relative to the cartridge jaw 2120 between an open position and a closed position. The projections 2036 are closely received between the vertical sidewalls of the apertures 2116 such that longitudinal proximal and/or distal movement of the anvil jaw 2030 relative to the cartridge jaw 2120 is prevented, or at least inhibited. That said, the projections 2036 are movable vertically within the apertures 2116. As illustrated in FIGS. 4 and 5 , the cartridge jaw 2120 further comprises longitudinal slots 2117 defined on opposite sides thereof. Each longitudinal slot 2117 intersects a bottom portion of an aperture 2116.
[0379] Further to the above, the surgical instrument 2100 comprises a closure member, or tube, 2040 configured to contact the anvil jaw 2030 and move the anvil jaw 2030 from its open position (FIG. 4 ) toward its closed position (FIG. 5 ) during a closure stroke. More specifically, further to the above, the distal tube end 2045 of the closure tube 2040 is configured to engage a cam surface 2035 defined on the anvil jaw 2030 and rotate the anvil jaw 2030 toward the cartridge jaw 2120. The closure tube 2040 slides distally along the cam surface 2035 until the distal tube end 2045 comes into contact with a push shoulder 2037 defined on the anvil jaw 2030. In such instances, the projections 2036 rotate within the apertures 2116 as the anvil jaw 2030 is rotating relative to the cartridge jaw 2120.
[0380] Further to the above, the lift cams 2046 of the closure tube 2040 are configured to engage the projections 2036 of the anvil jaw 2030 and push the projections 2036 upwardly within the apertures 2116 during the closure stroke of the closure tube 2040. In such instances, the lift cams 2046 can drive the distal tip of the anvil jaw 2030 toward the distal tip of the cartridge jaw 2120 and increase the clamping force applied to the tissue captured between the distal tips of the cartridge jaw 2120 and the anvil jaw 2030. The movement of the lift cams 2046 is limited to a longitudinal path defined by the longitudinal slots 2117. In at least one instance, the longitudinal path comprises a longitudinal axis which is orthogonal, or at least substantially orthogonal, to the vertical axis 2001, for example. The intersection of the longitudinal slots 2117 and the apertures 2116 allows the lift cams 2046 to engage the projections 2036 as the closure tube 2040 is advanced distally during its closure stroke.
[0381] As discussed above, the surgical instruments 2000 and 2100 comprise a fixed cartridge jaw and a movable anvil jaw. However, other embodiments are envisioned. For instance, a surgical instrument can comprise a fixed anvil jaw and a movable cartridge jaw. Such embodiments can be useful when the space between the targeted tissue and a body cavity wall is limited, for example. More specifically, in various instances, the anvil jaw 2030 is thinner than the staple cartridge jaw 2020 and, if the anvil jaw 2030 is fixed, the anvil jaw 2030 could provide a thin, but stiff, jaw that could be slid behind tissue in tight spaces.
[0382] A surgical instrument 2200 is illustrated in FIGS. 6-8 . The surgical instrument 2200 is similar to the surgical instruments 2000 and 2100 in many respects. The surgical instrument 2200 comprises a cartridge jaw 2220 and an anvil jaw 2230 rotatably coupled to the cartridge jaw 2220. The cartridge jaw 2220 comprises a replaceable staple cartridge 2210 including a plurality of staples removably stored therein. In other embodiments, the staple cartridge 2210 is not removable from the cartridge jaw 2220. The cartridge jaw 2220 and the anvil jaw 2230 are similar to the cartridge jaw 2020 and the anvil jaw 2030, respectively. The surgical instrument 2200 further comprises a closure tube 2240. The closure tube 2240 is similar to the closure tube 2040 in many respects. Among other things, the closure tube 2240 comprises a distal tube end 2245 configured to engage a cam surface 2035 and/or a push shoulder 2037 on the anvil jaw 2230 to rotate the anvil jaw 2230 toward the cartridge jaw 2220.
[0383] The surgical instrument 2200 further comprises a firing assembly 2250. The firing assembly 2250 comprises a coupling member 2251, a firing bar 2254 mounted to the coupling member 2251, and a firing rod 2252. The coupling member 2251 is configured to be advanced distally from a proximal unfired position to a distal fired position by the firing rod 2252 and the firing bar 2254 during a firing stroke of the firing assembly 2250 to eject the staples from the staple cartridge 2210. The coupling member 2251 comprises a first cam configured to engage the cartridge jaw 2220 and a second cam configured to engage the anvil jaw 2230 during the firing stroke. Among other things, the first and second cams lock the anvil jaw 2230 in a closed position during the firing stroke. After at least a portion of the firing stroke has been completed, the firing assembly 2250 can be retracted to disengage the first and second cams from the jaws 2220 and 2230, respectively. At such point, the closure tube 2240 can be retracted proximally to disengage the distal tube end 2245 from the cam surface 2035.
[0384] The closure tube 2240 further comprises at least one crimp tab 2249 (FIG. 3 ). The crimp tab 2249 is configured to positively open the anvil jaw 2230. As the closure tube 2240 is being retracted proximally, further to the above, the distal tube end 2245 slides proximally across the cam surface 2035 and, after the closure tube 2240 has been sufficiently retracted, the crimp tab 2249 contacts a cam tab 2239 defined on the anvil jaw 2230. Stated another way, the crimp tab 2249 does not initially engage the cam tab 2239 as the closure tube 2240 is being retracted; rather, the crimp tab 2249 comes into contact with the cam tab 2239 as the closure tube 2240 is being retracted. Once the crimp tab 2249 is engaged with the cam tab 2239, further retraction of the closure tube 2240 will open the anvil jaw 2230. the closure tube 2240 must be sufficiently retracted before the biasing member can open the anvil jaw 2230. As a result, the anvil jaw 2230 may not open immediately during the retraction stroke of the closure tube 2240 absent the use of a resilient biasing feature which can drive the anvil jaw 2230 into an at least partially open position while the closure tube 2240 is being retracted, as discussed in greater detail below.
[0385] Further to the above, the firing assembly 2250 comprises a biasing member, or spring, 2256, for example, positioned intermediate the firing rod 2252 and a proximal tail 2255 of the firing bar 2254. Referring primarily to FIG. 6 , the spring 2256 comprises an end securely mounted in a recess 2257 defined in the distal end of the firing rod 2252 and, in addition, a cantilever end 2258 which extends into a longitudinal opening 2253 defined in the firing rod 2252. When the firing assembly 2250 is retracted, as illustrated in FIG. 7 , the firing rod 2252 applies a retraction force to the firing bar 2254 via the spring 2256. This retraction force resiliently compresses the spring 2256, as also illustrated in FIG. 7 . As the firing assembly 2250 is retracted, the coupling member 2251 comes into contact with the anvil jaw 2230. More specifically, a shoulder 2259 defined on the coupling member 2251 contacts the cam tab 2239 defined on the anvil jaw 2230. At such point, the spring 2256 is still in its compressed state and is applying a load to the anvil jaw 2230 through the coupling member 2251. This load, however, does not open the anvil jaw 2230 until the closure tube 2240 is moved proximally away from the push shoulder 2037. Once the closure tube 2240 begins its opening motion, however, the load can quickly open, or at least partially open, the anvil jaw 2230, as illustrated in FIG. 8 . In various instances, as a result, very little, if any, lag exists between the opening motion of the closure tube 2240 and the opening motion of the anvil jaw 2230.
[0386] Further to the above, the spring 2256 will apply the quick-opening force to the anvil jaw 2230 so long as the spring 2256 is resiliently compressed between the firing rod 2252 and the firing bar 2254. Once the spring 2256 has returned to its uncompressed state, the firing assembly 2250 may no longer apply an opening force to the anvil jaw 2230. Further opening of the anvil jaw 2230 can be accomplished through retraction of the closure system so that the positive jaw opening crimp tab 2249 applies force to the cam tab 2239 to fully open the anvil jaw 2230.
[0387] A coupling member 2551 is illustrated in FIGS. 9-11 and a portion of a firing assembly 2550 is illustrated in FIG. 10 . The coupling member 2551 comprises a first cam 2552 configured to engage a first jaw and second cams 2553 configured to engage a second jaw. The coupling member 2551 further comprises a recess 2555 defined therein. The recess 2555 is configured to receive a firing bar 2554 therein. In at least one instance, the lateral side of the firing bar 2554 is flush with the lateral side of the coupling member 2551 when the firing bar 2554 is fully seated in the coupling member 2551. In other instances, the lateral side of the firing bar 2554 is recessed with respect to the lateral side of the coupling member 2551.
[0388] Further to the above, the firing bar 2554 comprises a plurality of flexible layers. Each of the layers is mounted to the coupling member 2551. The coupling member 2551 comprises a first, or proximal, mounting post, or projection, 2557p and a second, or distal, mounting post, or projection, 2557d. Each layer of the firing bar 2554 comprises an aperture 2558p configured to closely receive the mounting post 2557p. In at least one instance, the mounting post 2557p is press fit into the apertures 2558p such that little, if any, relative movement is possible between the firing bar 2554 and the mounting post 2557p. Similarly, each layer of the firing bar 2554 comprises an aperture 2558d configured to closely receive the mounting post 2557d. In at least one instance, the mounting post 2557d is press fit into the apertures 2558d such that little, if any, relative movement is possible between the firing bar 2554 and the mounting post 2557d. Mounting posts 2557p and 2557d provide, one, a mechanical attachment of the coupling member 2551 to the firing bar 2554 and, two, surfaces which extend out to the exterior surface of the firing bar 2554 that provide significant exposed surface area that allows a welded connection to be made between the coupling member 2551 and the firing bar 2554. In various instances, the perimeters of the mounting posts 2557p and 2557d are welded to the layers, or at least the outer layer, of the firing bar 2554. In some instances, the ends of the mounting posts 2557p and 2557d are entirely welded over to make the connection between the coupling member 2551 and the firing bar 2554.
[0389] The mounting post 2557p and the mounting post 2557d are not aligned longitudinally. Referring primarily to FIG. 9 , the mounting posts 2557p and 2557d are positioned on opposite sides of a longitudinal axis 2558. The longitudinal axis 2558 is collinear with and/or parallel to the longitudinal path of the firing assembly 2550. As a result of the above, the interconnection between the coupling member 2251 and the firing bar 2554 can withstand torque loads which act to rotate the coupling member 2551 upwardly and/or downwardly. In alternative embodiments, the mounting posts 2557p and 2557d are aligned longitudinally. In such instances, the mounting posts 2557p and 2557d can comprise an alignment datum for properly orienting the coupling member 2551 relative to the firing bar 2554.
[0390] Referring primarily to FIG. 10 , the firing assembly 2550 comprises a cutting portion configured to cut the tissue of a patient as the firing assembly 2550 is advanced distally through a staple cartridge. The coupling member 2551 comprises a first cutting part 2556′ of the cutting portion and the firing bar 2554 comprises a second cutting part 2556″ of the cutting portion. The first cutting part 2556′ is positioned laterally with respect to the second cutting part 2556″. The face of the first cutting part 2556′, however, is aligned with the face of the second cutting part 2556″ such that these faces comprise a continuous, or at least substantially continuous, cutting edge, as illustrated in FIG. 10 . In at least one instance, only one layer of the firing bar 2554 constitutes the second cutting part 2556″; however, alternative embodiments are envisioned in which more than one layer of the firing bar 2554 constitutes the second cutting part 2556″. In certain embodiments, the coupling member 2551 does not constitute part of the cutting portion. In at least one such embodiment, the firing bar 2554 comprises the entirety of the cutting portion. In any event, the arrangements discussed above can reduce the cost of creating the firing assembly 2250 by eliminating the need to sharpen and hone the coupling member 2251, and transferring the sharpening operation to one of the flat layers of the firing bar 2554.
[0391] A coupling member 2651 is illustrated in FIG. 12 , a portion of a firing bar 2654 is illustrated in FIG. 13 , and a portion of a firing assembly 2650 comprising the coupling member 2651 and the firing bar 2654 is illustrated in FIG. 14 . The coupling member 2651 comprises a first cam 2552 configured to engage a first jaw and second cams 2553 configured to engage a second jaw. Referring to FIG. 12 , the coupling member 2651 further comprises a recess 2655 defined therein. The recess 2655 is configured to receive the firing bar 2654 therein, as illustrated in FIG. 14 . In at least one instance, the lateral side of the firing bar 2654 is flush with the lateral side of the coupling member 2651 when the firing bar 2654 is fully seated in the recess 2655. In other instances, the lateral side of the firing bar 2654 is recessed with respect to the lateral side of the coupling member 2651.
[0392] Referring primarily to FIG. 12 , the coupling member 2651 comprises a proximal mounting post 2657p and a distal mounting post 2657d. The firing bar 2654, referring to FIG. 13 , comprises a proximal aperture 2658p configured to closely receive the mounting post 2657p. In at least one instance, the mounting post 2657p is press-fit within the proximal aperture 2658p of the firing bar 2654. The firing bar 2654 further comprises a distal aperture 2658d configured to closely receive the distal mounting post 2657d of the coupling member 2651. In at least one instance, the mounting post 2657d is press-fit within the distal aperture 2658d of the firing bar 2654. Mounting posts 2657p and 2657d provide, one, a mechanical attachment of the coupling member 2651 to the firing bar 2654 and, two, surfaces which extend out to the exterior surface of the firing bar 2654 that provide significant exposed surface area that allows a welded connection to be made between the coupling member 2651 and the firing bar 2654. In various instances, the perimeters of the mounting posts 2657p and 2657d are welded to the layers, or at least the outer layer, of the firing bar 2654. In some instances, the ends of the mounting posts 2657p and 2657d are entirely welded over to make the connection between the coupling member 2651 and the firing bar 2654.
[0393] Referring again to FIG. 13 , the firing bar 2654 further comprises a hook, or catch, 2653. Referring now to FIG. 14 , the hook 2653 is engaged with the coupling member 2651. More specifically, the hook 2653 is at least partially wrapped around the distal end of a second cam 2553. In various instances, the hook 2653 can be used to align the firing bar 2654 with the coupling member 2651 before seating the firing bar 2654 into the recess 2655 in the coupling member 2651. Moreover, the hook 2653 extends over the cutting part 2556″ of the coupling member 2651 and can be configured to direct the flow of tissue toward the cutting edge of the cutting part 2556″. The firing bar 2654 comprises a single layer and the hook 2653 is defined on that layer; however, the hook 2653 can be defined on multiple layers in other firing bars. In any event, the hook 2653, the distal aperture 2658d, and the proximal aperture 2658p are configured to retain the firing bar 2654 to the coupling member 2651.
[0394] As discussed above, the firing bar 2654 is positioned within a lateral recess 2655. Referring to FIG. 12 , the second cam 2553 that extends over the recess 2655 is longer than the other second cam 2553. Moreover, the firing bar 2654 is offset laterally with respect to the center of the coupling member 2651. In use, as a result, the firing bar 2654 can experience a lateral twist when the firing assembly 2650 is being advanced distally during its firing stroke. To account for this twist, in various instances, the second cams 2553 can be closely received within a jaw, such as the anvil jaw 2030, for example. More specifically, referring again to FIG. 1 , the sidewalls of the slot 2038 are configured such that there is little, if any, lateral gap between the sidewalls and the lateral sides of the second cams 2553. Other means can be used.
[0395] Turning now to FIGS. 15-18 , a firing assembly 2750 comprises a coupling member 2751 and a firing bar 2754 including multiple layers attached to the coupling member 2751. The coupling member 2751 comprises a first cam 2752 configured to engage a first jaw, second cams 2753 configured to engage a second jaw, and a cutting edge 2756 configured to transect tissue during a firing stroke of the firing assembly 2750. The coupling member 2751 comprises a mounting tab 2754a extending proximally therefrom and lateral recesses 2755 defined on opposite sides of the mounting tab 2754a. Referring to FIG. 16 , a center layer 2754b of the firing bar 2754 is attachable to the mounting tab 2754a. The mounting tab 2754a and the center layer 2754b define apertures 2754c therebetween which are configured to receive welds 2754d therein to retain the center layer 2754b to the mounting tab 2754a; however, any suitable joining method could be used to join the center layer 2754b to the mounting tab 2754a.
[0396] Further to the above, referring now to FIG. 17 , the firing bar 2754 further comprises lateral layers 2754e which are mounted to the coupling member 2751 in the lateral recesses 2755. Each of the lateral layers 2754e is mounted to the coupling member 2751 via welds 2754f; however, other joining methods could be used. In various instances, the welds 2754f are located distally with respect to the welds 2754d. As a result, the attachment points of the lateral layers 2754e to the coupling member 2751 are positioned distally with respect to the attachment point of the center layer 2754b. Due to this longitudinal offset, the welds 2754d and 2754f can withstand and transmit torque loads. Moreover, the welds 2754d and 2754f are not in the same shear plane and the possibility of the coupling member 2751 becoming detached from the firing bar 2754 is reduced.
[0397] As discussed in greater detail below, a firing assembly, or cutting member, can be part of, and/or comprise, a lockout system configured to prevent or limit the distal advancement of the firing assembly in certain instances. Referring again to FIGS. 9 and 10 , the coupling member 2551 of the firing assembly 2550 comprises a distal projection 2559. The distal projection 2559 is part of a lockout arrangement configured to prevent the firing assembly 2550 from being advanced distally in the event that an unspent staple cartridge is not properly positioned in front of the firing assembly 2550. In such instances, the firing assembly 2550 can be pushed downwardly into a locked out state by a biasing member when the firing assembly 2550 is advanced distally in order to prevent the firing assembly 2550 from performing a staple firing stroke. To the extent that an unspent staple cartridge is properly positioned in front of the firing assembly 2550, the distal projection 2559 can be supported by a sled in the staple cartridge which can allow the firing assembly 2550 to complete the staple firing stroke.

[0403] A firing assembly 2350 of a surgical instrument 2300 is illustrated in FIGS. 19-21 . The firing assembly 2350 comprises a coupling member 2351 and a firing bar 2354 mounted to the coupling member 2351. The coupling member 2351 is similar to the coupling member 2551 in many respects. The firing bar 2354 comprises a plurality of layers including central layer 2354b and lateral layers 2354e. The surgical instrument 2300 is configured to receive a staple cartridge having a sled stored therein that, during a staple firing stroke, is advanced distally by the firing assembly 2350. The staple cartridge 2010, for example, comprises a cartridge body 2011 and, in addition, a sled 2014 which is movable through the cartridge body 2011 from a proximal, unfired position to a distal, fired position during the staple firing stroke. When the sled 2014 is in its proximal, unfired position, the staple cartridge 2010 is unspent. When the sled 2014 has been moved distally from its proximal, unfired position, the staple cartridge 2010 becomes spent.
[0404] The firing assembly 2350 further comprises a lockout system. The lockout system is configured to prevent the firing assembly 2350 from being advanced distally to perform a staple firing stroke if an unspent staple cartridge, such as staple cartridge 2010, for example, is not properly positioned in the surgical instrument 2300, as illustrated in FIG. 20 . In fact, a staple cartridge is entirely missing from the surgical instrument 2300 in FIG. 20 . Correspondingly, the lockout system is configured to permit the firing assembly 2350 to be advanced distally to perform a staple firing stroke if an unspent staple cartridge, such as staple cartridge 2010, for example, is properly positioned in the surgical instrument 2300, as illustrated in FIG. 21 .
[0405] Referring primarily to FIG. 19 , the firing assembly 2350 comprises a lockout bar 2360 slidably mounted to the firing bar 2354. The lockout bar 2360 comprises a longitudinal portion 2364 and a distal end 2366. The longitudinal portion 2364 of the lockout bar 2360 extends through a longitudinal clearance slot defined between the lateral layers 2354e of the firing bar 2354. The distal end 2366 of the lockout bar 2360 extends through an aperture 2359 defined in the coupling member 2351 and projects distally from the coupling member 2351. The lockout bar 2360 is slidable between a distal, or locked, position (FIG. 20 ) and a proximal, or unlocked, position (FIG. 21 ) when an unspent staple cartridge 2010 is properly positioned in the cartridge jaw 2020. More specifically, further to the above, an unspent staple cartridge 2010 comprises a sled 2014 in its proximal, unfired position which contacts the lockout bar 2360 and pushes the lockout bar 2360 proximally when the unspent staple cartridge 2010 is inserted into the cartridge jaw 2020. The sled 2014 is releasably retained to the cartridge body 2011 such that the sled 2014 remains in its proximal, unfired position while pushing the lockout bar 2360 proximally. In at least one instance, the cartridge body 2011 comprises one or more detents which releasably hold the sled 2014 in its proximal, unfired position.
[0406] The firing assembly 2350 further comprises a firing rod 2352 having a longitudinal slot 2358 defined therein. The firing bar 2354 comprises a proximal end 2355 positioned in the longitudinal slot 2358 and, similarly, the lockout bar 2360 comprises a proximal end 2365 which is also positioned in the longitudinal slot 2358. When the lockout bar 2360 is in its locked position, as illustrated in FIG. 20 , a lock 2370 is engaged with the firing rod 2352 which prevents the firing rod 2352 from being advanced distally. Correspondingly, in such instances, the lock 2370 prevents the firing rod 2352 from advancing the firing bar 2354, and the coupling member 2351, through a staple firing stroke. The lock 2370 is rotatably mounted to a shaft 2340 of the surgical instrument 2300 about a pivot 2371 and comprises a lock shoulder engaged with a lock recess, or notch, 2378 defined in the firing rod 2352. The lock 2370 is biased into engagement with the firing rod 2352 by a spring 2372.
[0407] Upon comparing FIGS. 20 and 21 , further to the above, it can be seen that the lockout bar 2360 moves relative to the firing bar 2354 when the lockout bar 2360 is moved between its locked position (FIG. 20 ) and its unlocked position (FIG. 21 ) when an unspent staple cartridge 2010 is loaded into the surgical instrument 2300. The firing assembly 2350 further comprises a biasing member, or spring, 2368 positioned intermediate the proximal end 2355 of the firing bar 2354 and the proximal end 2365 of the lockout bar 2360 which is compressed between the proximal ends 2355 and 2365 when the lockout bar 2360 is moved proximally. If the unspent staple cartridge 2010 were to be removed from the cartridge jaw 2020 before the staple cartridge 2010 is fired, the biasing member 2368 would resiliently expand and push the lockout bar 2360 distally into its locked position and allow the spring 2372 to return the lock 2370 into its locked position and re-engage the firing rod 2352. Stated another way, the spring 2368 biases the lockout bar 2360 into its locked position in the absence of an unspent staple cartridge in the cartridge jaw 2020.
[0408] When the lockout bar 2360 is moved proximally into its unlocked condition, as illustrated in FIG. 21 , the proximal end 2365 of the lockout bar 2360 engages the lock 2370 and rotates the lock 2370 downwardly out of engagement with the firing rod 2352 against the bias of the spring 2372. At such point, the firing assembly 2350 can be advanced distally to perform the staple firing stroke. Notably, the firing rod 2352 pushes the firing bar 2354 distally. More specifically, the proximal sidewall of the longitudinal slot 2358 abuts the proximal end 2355 of the firing bar 2354 as the firing rod 2352 is advanced distally. Also, notably, the firing bar 2354 pushes the lockout bar 2360 distally via the spring 2368. As a result, the lockout bar 2360 travels with the firing bar 2354 when the firing bar 2354 is moved distally during the staple firing stroke.
[0409] Further to the above, the distal movement of the firing bar 2354 and the lockout bar 2360 during the staple firing stroke moves the proximal end 2365 of the lockout bar 2360 away from the lock 2370. In such instances, however, the lock recess 2378 defined in the firing rod 2352 is no longer in alignment with the lock 2370. As a result, the lock 2370 cannot re-engage the firing rod 2352 and lock the firing rod 2352 in position even though the lockout bar 2360 has been disengaged from the lock 2370. When the firing rod 2352 is retracted in order to reset the surgical instrument 2300, the firing rod 2352 can pull the firing bar 2354 and the lockout bar 2360 proximally to the position illustrated in FIG. 20 . In such instances, the lock recess 2378 is re-aligned with the lock 2370 such that the spring 2372 can re-engage the lock 2370 with the firing rod 2352 and re-lock the firing assembly 2350 in position. In various instances, the firing rod 2352 further comprises a ramp 2375 configured to deflect the lock 2370 downwardly as the firing rod 2352 is being retracted.
[0410] Further to the above, the firing rod 2352 is pulled proximally after a staple firing stroke to retract the firing bar 2354, the lockout bar 2360, and the coupling member 2351 of the firing assembly 2350. Notably, the sled 2014 of the staple cartridge 2010 is not retracted by the firing rod 2352. Instead, the sled 2014 remains in its fired position. As a result, the lockout bar 2360 is pushed out of its locked position when the firing assembly 2350 is returned to its reset position and, as such, the firing assembly 2350 is prevented from being advanced distally once again until the spent staple cartridge 2010 is removed from the cartridge jaw 2020 and an unspent staple cartridge 2010, for example, is properly positioned in the cartridge jaw 2020.
[0411] Moreover, further to the above, it should be appreciated that the sled 2014 of a spent staple cartridge 2010 cannot contact the lockout bar 2360 when the spent staple cartridge 2010 is loaded into the cartridge jaw 2020 because the sled 2014 is not in its proximal position and, as a result, the sled 2014 cannot unlock the firing assembly 2350.
[0412] A surgical instrument 2900 comprising a firing assembly 2950 is illustrated in FIGS. 22 and 23 . Similar to the above, the firing assembly 2950 comprises a lockout system configured to prevent the firing assembly 2950 from being advanced distally to perform a staple firing stroke without an unspent staple cartridge 2910, for example, properly positioned in the cartridge jaw 2020. In at least one instance, the surgical instrument 2900 can comprise the lock 2370 and lock spring 2372 arrangement discussed above in connection with the surgical instrument 2300, for example, which can block the distal advancement of the firing assembly 2950 when an unspent staple cartridge is not properly seated in the cartridge jaw 2020, as illustrated in FIG. 22 . When an unspent staple cartridge 2910 is properly seated in the cartridge jaw 2020, as illustrated in FIG. 23 , the lockout system can permit the firing assembly 2950 to perform the staple firing stroke. The staple cartridge 2910 is similar to the staple cartridge 2010 in many respects and comprises a cartridge body 2912 and a sled 2916 movable from a proximal, unfired position (FIG. 23 ) to a distal, fired position by the firing assembly 2950 during the staple firing stroke.
[0413] The firing assembly 2950 comprises a firing rod 2952, a firing bar 2954, and a coupling member 2951 mounted to the firing bar 2954. The coupling member 2951 is similar to the coupling member 2551 in many respects. The firing bar 2954 comprises a proximal portion 2955 slidably positioned in a longitudinal slot 2958 defined in the firing rod 2952. The firing assembly 2950 further comprises a biasing member, or compression spring, 2966 positioned in the longitudinal slot 2958 intermediate the proximal portion 2955 of the firing bar 2954 and the firing rod 2952. When an unspent staple cartridge 2910 is not positioned in the cartridge jaw 2020, as illustrated in FIG. 22 , the spring 2966 is configured to bias the firing bar 2954 forward. In this forward position of the firing bar 2954, a key 2965 of the firing bar 2954 is not engaged with the lock 2370 and, as a result, the spring 2372 biases the lock 2370 into the lock recess 2378 defined in the firing rod 2952 which prevents the firing rod 2952 from being advanced distally to perform a staple firing stroke.
[0414] When an unspent staple cartridge 2910 is properly positioned in the cartridge jaw 2020, as illustrated in FIG. 23 , the sled 2916 directly contacts the coupling member 2951 and pushes the firing bar 2954 proximally into its unlocked position. In this proximal position of the firing bar 2954, the key 2965 of the firing bar 2954 is engaged with the lock 2370 and holds the lock 2370 out of the lock notch 2378 in the firing rod 2952. In such instances, as a result, the firing rod 2952 can be advanced distally to push the firing bar 2954, the coupling member 2951, and the sled 2916 through the staple firing stroke. Similar to the above, the firing rod 2952 can be retracted to pull the firing bar 2954 and the coupling member 2951 proximally to reset the surgical instrument 2900. Also similar to the above, the sled 2916 is not retracted with the firing assembly 2950 and, as a result, the firing bar 2954 is in its forward, or locked, position after the firing assembly 2950 has been retracted. The reader should appreciate that the spent staple cartridge 2910 must be replaced with an unspent staple cartridge 2910 to unlock the lock 2370 from the firing assembly 2950 and use the surgical instrument 2900 once again.
[0415] A surgical instrument 3000 comprising a shaft 3040 and a firing assembly 3050 is illustrated in FIGS. 24 and 25 . Similar to the above, the firing assembly 3050 comprises a lockout system configured to prevent the firing assembly 3050 from being advanced distally to perform a staple firing stroke without an unspent staple cartridge 3010, for example, properly positioned in the cartridge jaw 2020. The surgical instrument 3000 comprises a lock 3070 in the shaft 3040 which, similar to lock 2370, can block the distal advancement of the firing assembly 3050, as illustrated in FIG. 24 . When an unspent staple cartridge 3010 is properly seated in the cartridge jaw 2020, as illustrated in FIG. 25 , the lockout system can permit the firing assembly 3050 to perform the staple firing stroke. The staple cartridge 3010 is similar to the staple cartridge 2010 in many respects and comprises a cartridge body 3012 and a sled 3016 movable from a proximal, unfired position (FIG. 25 ) to a distal, fired position by the firing assembly 3050 during the staple firing stroke.
[0416] The firing assembly 3050 comprises a firing rod 3052, a firing bar 3054, and a coupling member 2951 mounted to the firing bar 3054. The firing bar 3054 comprises a proximal portion 3055 slidably positioned in a longitudinal slot 3058 defined in the firing rod 3052. The firing assembly 3050 further comprises a biasing member, or compression spring, 3066 positioned in the longitudinal slot 3058 intermediate the firing rod 3052 and proximal portion 3055 of the firing bar 3054. When an unspent staple cartridge 3010 is not positioned in the cartridge jaw 2020, as illustrated in FIG. 24 , the spring 3066 is configured to bias the firing bar 3054 forward. In this forward position of the firing bar 3054, a leaf spring 3072 biases the lock 3070 into the lock notch 2378 defined in the firing rod 3052 which prevents the firing rod 3052 from being advanced distally to perform a staple firing stroke.
[0417] When an unspent staple cartridge 3010 is positioned in the cartridge jaw 2020, as illustrated in FIG. 25 , the sled 3016 directly contacts the coupling member 2951 and pushes the firing bar 3054 proximally into its unlocked position. In this proximal position of the firing bar 3054, the proximal end 3055 of the firing bar 3054 is engaged with the lock 3070 and holds the lock 3070 out of the lock notch 2378 in the firing rod 3052 against the biasing force of the leaf spring 3072. In such instances, as a result, the firing rod 3052 can be advanced distally to push the firing bar 3054, the coupling member 2951, and the sled 3016 through the staple firing stroke. Similar to the above, the firing rod 3052 can be retracted to pull the firing bar 3054 and the coupling member 2951 proximally to reset the surgical instrument 3000. Also similar to the above, the sled 3016 is not retracted with the firing assembly 3050 and, as a result, the firing bar 3054 is in its forward, or locked, position after the firing assembly 3050 has been retracted. The reader should appreciate that the spent staple cartridge 3010 must be replaced with an unspent staple cartridge 3010 to unlock the lock 3070 from the firing assembly 3050 and use the surgical instrument 3000 once again.
[0418] As discussed above, the lock 2370 is positioned in the shafts of the surgical instruments 2900 and 3000; however, the lock 2370 can be placed in any suitable location. In various instances, the surgical instrument 2900 and/or 3000, for example, can comprise an articulation joint about which an end effector, including the jaws 2020 and 2030, can be articulated. In at least one instance, the lock 2370 is positioned distally with respect to the articulation joint. In such instances, the lockout system is unaffected by the articulation joint. In other instances, the lock 2370 is positioned proximally with respect to the articulation joint. Placing the lock 2370 in such a position can shorten the portion of the surgical instrument which is distal to the articulation joint and improve the accessibility of the surgical instrument into a small surgical site, for instance.
[0419] As discussed above, a firing assembly of a surgical instrument can be advanced distally through a staple cartridge to eject the staples from the staple cartridge during a staple firing stroke. As also discussed above, the staple cartridge can comprise a sled which is pushed distally by the firing assembly to drive the staples out of the staple cartridge during the staple firing stroke. In various instances, however, a clinician may not be able to observe the progress of the staple firing stroke. Absent such information, the clinician may not know whether the tissue captured within the surgical instrument has been sufficiently stapled.
[0420] Turning now to FIGS. 26-30 , a surgical instrument 3100 comprises a cartridge jaw 3120 configured to receive a staple cartridge 3110 therein. The cartridge jaw 3120 comprises a bottom portion and lateral side walls 3122 extending from the bottom portion. The staple cartridge 3110 is positionable between the lateral side walls 3122 of the cartridge jaw 3120. The staple cartridge 3110 and the cartridge jaw 3120 comprise co-operating features configured to align and releasably hold the staple cartridge 3110 in a seated position (FIGS. 27-29 ). The staple cartridge 3110 further comprises a sled 3116 movable between a proximal, unfired position (FIGS. 26 and 27 ) and a distal, fired position (FIG. 29 ) by the firing assembly 2550 during a staple firing stroke.
[0421] The cartridge jaw 3120 comprises a series of openings, or windows, defined in a lateral side wall 3122. The windows of the cartridge jaw 3120 comprise a proximal window 3127, a distal window 3129, and an intermediate window 3128 positioned intermediate the proximal window 3127 and the distal window 3129. Each window 3127, 3128, and 3129 comprises an elongate longitudinal through hole positioned along a longitudinal axis 3121; however, the windows 3127, 3128, and 3129 can have any suitable arrangement. In at least one instance, the intermediate window 3128 is positioned at the midpoint between the proximal window 3127 and the distal window 3129. In other instances, the intermediate window 3128 can be positioned at any suitable location between the proximal window 3127 and the distal window 3129. In at least one instance, the cartridge jaw 3120 can comprise more than one intermediate window 3128.
[0422] The staple cartridge 3110 comprises a series of openings, or windows, defined in the lateral sides of the cartridge body 3112. The windows of the staple cartridge 3110 comprise a proximal window 3117, a distal window 3119, and an intermediate window 3118 positioned intermediate the proximal window 3117 and the distal window 3119. Each window 3117, 3118, and 3119 comprises an elongate longitudinal through hole positioned along a longitudinal axis 3111; however, the windows 3117, 3118, and 3119 can have any suitable arrangement. In at least one instance, the intermediate window 3118 is positioned at the midpoint between the proximal window 3117 and the distal window 3119. In other instances, the intermediate window 3118 can be positioned at any suitable location between the proximal window 3117 and the distal window 3119. In at least one instance, the staple cartridge 3110 can comprise more than one intermediate window 3118.
[0423] When the staple cartridge 3110 is fully seated in the cartridge jaw 3120, the windows in the staple cartridge 3110 are aligned with the windows in the cartridge jaw 3120. More specifically, the proximal cartridge window 3117 is aligned with the proximal jaw window 3127, the intermediate cartridge window 3118 is aligned with the intermediate jaw window 3128, and the distal cartridge window 3119 is aligned with the distal jaw window 3129. In such instances, the windows 3117 and 3127 form a first pair of aligned apertures, the windows 3118 and 3128 form a second pair of aligned apertures, and the windows 3119 and 3129 form a third pair of aligned apertures. As a result, a clinician can look into the staple cartridge 3110 through the cartridge jaw 3120 at three distinct locations.
[0424] Further to the above, the staple cartridge 3110 engages the cartridge jaw 3120 in a snap-fit connection when the staple cartridge 3110 is fully seated within the cartridge jaw 3120. In such instances, the longitudinal axis 3111 of the staple cartridge 3110 is aligned with the longitudinal axis 3121 of the cartridge jaw 3120. When the axes 3111 and 3121 are perfectly aligned, the edges of the cartridge windows 3118 and 3119 are not offset with respect to the jaw windows 3128 and 3129, respectively. To the extent that the axes 3111 and 3121 are somewhat aligned, but not perfectly aligned, the cartridge windows 3118 and 3119 may be offset with respect to the jaw windows 3128 and 3129. In either event, the at least substantially aligned windows can serve the purpose of observing the position of the sled 3116 during the firing stroke, as discussed below.
[0425] When the sled 3116 is in its proximal, unfired position, as illustrated in FIG. 27 , the sled 3116 is visible through the aligned cartridge window 3117 and jaw window 3127. In such instances, a clinician can visually observe that the staple cartridge 3110 is unspent. If the sled 3116 is not visible through the aligned cartridge window 3117 and jaw window 3127 prior to the beginning of the staple firing stroke, then the clinician can assume that the staple cartridge 3110 has been at least partially spent and that a lockout of the stapling instrument 3100, such as those described herein, for example, may be actuated if the spent staple cartridge 3110 is not replaced with an unspent staple cartridge. Moreover, if the sled 3116 is not visible through the aligned cartridge window 3117 and jaw window 3127 during the staple firing stroke, then the clinician can assume that the staple firing stroke is in progress.
[0426] When the sled 3116 has been moved half-way through the staple firing stroke, referring now to FIG. 28 , the sled 3116 is visible through the aligned cartridge window 3118 and jaw window 3128. In such instances, a clinician can visually observe that the staple cartridge 3110 has been partially spent. Although the windows 3118 and 3128 are aligned at the midpoint of the staple firing stroke, the windows 3118 and 3128 can be aligned at any suitable location. Moreover, any suitable number of window pairs 3118 and 3128 can be utilized to observe the sled 3116 during the staple firing stroke. When the sled 3116 is in its distal, fired position, as illustrated in FIG. 29 , the sled 3116 is visible through the aligned cartridge window 3119 and jaw window 3129. In such instances, a clinician can visually observe that the staple cartridge 3110 has been completely spent. Understanding whether or not a staple cartridge has been completely, or at least sufficiently, spent is important for a clinician in determining whether or not to retract the firing assembly 2550. For instance, referring to FIG. 30 , a clinician would know that the vessel V captured between the staple cartridge 3010 and the anvil jaw 2030 has been completely stapled when they can observe the sled 3116 in the distal window 3129.
[0427] Referring primarily to FIG. 26 , the sled 3116 comprises a demarcation 3115 which is observable through the aligned cartridge and jaw windows and can assist a clinician in understanding the position of the sled 3116 within the staple cartridge 3110. In at least one instance, the demarcation 3115 comprises a color which is different than the color of the cartridge jaw 3120 and/or the sled 3116, such as blue, for example. In certain instances, the demarcation can comprise a ridge, for example.
[0428] Referring primarily to FIG. 26 , the cartridge jaw 3120 further comprises a proximal datum 3123p and a distal datum 3123d. When the sled 3116 is in its proximal, unfired position, the demarcation 3115 is aligned with the proximal datum 3123p. In such instances, the proximal datum 3123p can assist a clinician in determining whether the staple cartridge 3110 is unspent. When the sled 3116 is in its distal, completely fired position, the demarcation 3115 is aligned with the distal datum 3123d. In such instances, the proximal datum 3123p can assist a clinician in determining whether the staple cartridge 3110 has been completely spent. The datums 3123p and 3123d comprise narrow linear vertical markings on the cartridge jaw 3120; however, the datums 3123p and 3123d can comprise any suitable configuration. In at least one instance, the datums 3123p and 3123d are the same color as the demarcation 3115. In other instances, the datums 3123p and 3123d are a different color than the demarcation 3115.
[0429] Further to the above, the intermediate cartridge window 3118 is the same size as the intermediate jaw window 3128. Similarly, the distal cartridge window 3119 is the same size as the distal jaw window 3129. That said, the proximal cartridge window 3117 is not the same size as the proximal jaw window 3127. The proximal cartridge window 3117 is narrower than the proximal jaw window 3127 as measured along the longitudinal axes 3111 and 3121. In at least one instance, the proximal cartridge window 3117 has the same width as the demarcation 3115. In such instances, a clinician can accurately assess whether or not the sled 3116 has been advanced distally even the slightest amount.
[0430] As discussed above, the cartridge jaw 3120 is configured to receive a replaceable staple cartridge therein; however, the cartridge and jaw windows disclosed herein can be used with a stapling assembly that does not comprise a replaceable staple cartridge. Moreover, the cartridge and jaw windows disclosed herein can be adapted to either side or both sides of a stapling assembly.
[0431] Referring to FIGS. 31-34 , a cartridge jaw 3220 comprises a bottom portion, or wall, 3221 and lateral side portions, or walls, 3222 extending from the bottom wall 3221. Similar to the above, the cartridge jaw 3220 is configured to receive a replaceable staple cartridge between the side walls 3222. The bottom wall 3221 comprises a longitudinal slot 3223 defined therein which is configured to receive the bottom cam of the firing assembly 2550, for example.
[0432] Referring primarily to FIGS. 33 and 34 , the longitudinal slot 3223 comprises a central portion 3224. The central portion 3224 is part of a T-shaped configuration that includes lateral portions 3225 which extend laterally from the central portion 3224. The longitudinal slot 3223 further comprises a proximal opening, or window, 3227 and a distal opening, or window, 3229 at the opposite ends of the central portion 3224. The sled of a staple cartridge is aligned with the proximal opening 3227 when the sled is in its proximal, unfired position. In such instances, a clinician can observe whether or not the staple cartridge has been spent. Similarly, the sled is aligned with the distal opening 3229 when the sled is in its distal, fully-fired position. In such instances, a clinician can observe whether or not the staple cartridge has been completely spent.
[0433] Referring again to FIGS. 31 and 32 , the longitudinal slot 3223 further comprises intermediate openings, or windows, 3228 defined in the bottom wall 3221 between the proximal opening 3227 and the distal opening 3229. Similar to the above, the progression of the sled during the staple firing stroke can be observed through the openings 3228. The openings 3228 are elongate in the longitudinal direction; however, the openings 3228 can comprise any suitable configuration. The openings 3228 are spaced periodically such that the bottom wall 3221 is sufficiently stiff between the lateral side walls 3222. Moreover, any suitable number of openings 3228 can be used, although the bottom wall 3221 will be stiffer with less openings 3228.
[0434] Referring primarily to FIG. 32 , the openings 3228 are offset with respect to the central portion 3224 of the longitudinal slot 3223. Stated another way, each opening 3228 comprises a longitudinal axis which is not collinear with a longitudinal axis of the central portion 3224. Moreover, the openings 3228 are staggered with respect the longitudinal axis of the central portion 3224 in an alternating manner. In at least one instance, a first opening 3228 is defined on one side of the longitudinal axis while a second opening 3228 is defined on the opposite side of the longitudinal axis. This pattern of the openings 3228 repeats along the length of the longitudinal slot 3223. Such an arrangement can increase the width of the walls between the openings 3228 and, as a result, increase the stiffness of the bottom wall 3221 as compared to embodiments where all of the openings 3228 are positioned along the longitudinal axis of the central portion. Other embodiments, however, are envisioned.
[0435] As discussed herein, a surgical instrument can comprise a firing assembly configured to apply a firing load, or force, to a sled of a staple cartridge during a firing stroke. The firing load is sufficient to push the staples out of the staple cartridge and into the tissue of a patient, deform the staples against an anvil, and incise the tissue. In certain instances, the firing load can increase significantly beyond a threshold which is deemed safe and/or suitable for the operation of the surgical instrument. In at least one such instance, the firing load can increase significantly when the firing assembly abuts a missing cartridge lockout and/or a spent cartridge lockout, for example.
[0436] Referring now to FIGS. 35-38 , a surgical instrument 3500 comprises a shaft 3540 and a firing assembly 3550. The firing assembly 3550 comprises a first firing rod 3551, a second firing rod 3552, and a firing bar 3554. The firing assembly 3550 further comprises a biasing member, or spring, 3556 positioned intermediate the first firing rod 3551 and the second firing rod 3552. When the first firing rod 3551 is advanced distally, the first firing rod 3551 pushes the second firing rod 3552 distally via the spring 3556. The distal end of the second firing rod 3552 is connected to the firing bar 3554 at an interconnection 3553 and, when the second firing rod 3552 is advanced distally, the second firing rod 3552 pushes the firing bar 3554 distally. Stated another way, a firing load can be transmitted from the first firing rod 3551 to the second firing rod 3552 through the spring 3556 and ultimately to the firing bar 3554.
[0437] Further to the above, the spring 3556 is compressed between the first firing rod 3551 and the second firing rod 3552 in response to the firing load, or force, transmitted through the firing assembly 3550. When the firing load transmitted through the firing assembly 3550 is below a predetermined force threshold, the spring 3556 transmits the firing load to the second firing rod 3552 to perform the firing stroke, as illustrated in FIG. 35 . When the firing load exceeds the threshold, the spring 3556 is compressed to a point in which a proximal end 3555 of the second firing rod 3552 actuates a lockout system which prevents the firing assembly 3550 from being advanced through its staple firing stroke, as illustrated in FIG. 36 . At such point, the clinician can evaluate the surgical instrument 3500 as to why the firing force threshold of the surgical instrument 3500 was exceeded.
[0438] Further to the above, the spring 3556, when compressed, applies a biasing force to the second firing rod 3552 which opposes the proximal movement of the second firing rod 3552 relative to the first firing rod 3551. The threshold force of the firing assembly 3550 accounts for the firing force needed to staple and cut the tissue and, in addition, the biasing force created by the spring 3556. In various instances, the biasing force of the spring 3556 opposes the firing force transmitted through the second firing rod 3552. Moreover, the biasing force of the spring 3556 increases linearly, and proportionately, in response to the relative movement between the second firing rod 3552 and the first firing rod 3551. That said, once the force transmitted through the firing assembly 3550 exceeds the threshold force, the lockout system switches between an unlocked configuration and a locked configuration, as discussed in greater detail below.
[0439] Further to the above, and as also described in greater detail below, the lockout system of the firing assembly 3550 can be tripped, or actuated, into a locked stated when the compression of the spring 3556 has exceeded a threshold compression, or deflection. Stated another way, the lockout system does not actuate into a locked state while the compression of the spring 3556 is below the threshold compression of the spring 3556.
[0440] The lockout system comprises, further to the above, a lock 3570 rotatably mounted to a frame 3542 of the shaft 3540 about a pivot 3571 and, in addition, a lock actuator 3577 mounted to the first firing rod 3551. The lock 3570 is held in an unlocked position, or configuration, by the lock actuator 3577 when the lock actuator 3577 has not been actuated. The lock actuator 3577 is rotatably mounted to the first firing rod 3551 and is rotatable between an unactuated position (FIG. 35 ) and an actuated position (FIG. 36 ). When the spring 3556 of the firing assembly 3550 is not compressed more than its threshold compression, or above its force threshold, as illustrated in FIG. 35 , the lock actuator 3577 is biased into its unactuated position by a torsion spring 3576 and the lock 3570 is held out of engagement with the firing assembly 3550.
[0441] When the spring 3556 is compressed more than its threshold compression, or above its force threshold, the proximal end 3555 of the second firing rod 3552 engages the lock actuator 3577 and rotates the lock actuator 3577 into its actuated position, as illustrated in FIG. 36 . In such instances, the lock 3570 is released by the lock actuator 3577 and engages the second firing rod 3552. More specifically, the lockout system further comprises a biasing member, or spring, 3572 configured to push the lock 3570 into engagement with the second firing rod 3552 once the lock 3570 is released. The lock 3570 comprises a lock shoulder 3578 which is configured to be received within a lock recess, or notch, 3558 defined in the second firing rod 3552 which prevents the firing assembly 3550 from being advanced distally.
[0442] The reader should appreciate that the lock 3570 of the lockout system can only stop the advancement of the firing assembly 3550 when the lock notch 3558 defined in the second firing rod 3552 is aligned with the lock 3570. Once the firing assembly 3550 is advanced distally during the staple firing stroke and the lock notch 3558 is moved out of alignment with the lock shoulder 3578, as illustrated in FIG. 37 , the lock 3570 is constrained in its unlocked position, or configuration, by the first firing rod 3551 throughout the firing stroke of the firing assembly 3550. As such, the lockout system of the firing assembly 3550 comprises a beginning-of-stroke lockout that stops the firing assembly 3550 from performing a staple firing stroke.
[0443] Further to the above, a missing cartridge lockout and/or a spent cartridge lockout in the end effector of the surgical instrument 3500, for example, can block the distal advancement of the firing assembly 3550 when a spent staple cartridge is seated in the end effector of the surgical instrument 3500 and/or an unspent staple cartridge is missing from the end effector altogether. In such instances, the force transmitted through the firing assembly 3550 will increase above the threshold force and the lockout system of the firing assembly 3550 can respond by also blocking the distal advancement of the firing assembly 3550. In various instances, the firing assembly lockout can bolster the missing cartridge and/or spent cartridge lockout. In such instances, as a result, the firing assembly 3550 cannot be used to cut tissue without an unspent staple cartridge properly seated in the end effector of the surgical instrument 3500.
[0444] In order to reset the firing assembly 3550, further to the above, the clinician can operate the surgical instrument 3500 to retract the firing assembly 3550 proximally. In at least one instance, the surgical instrument 3500 comprises an electric motor configured to drive the firing assembly 3550 through its staple firing stroke which can be operated in reverse to retract the firing assembly 3550. When the firing assembly 3550 is at least partially retracted, the spring 3556 can re-expand and push the second firing rod 3552 away from the first firing rod 3551 to disengage the second firing rod 3552 from the lock actuator 3577 of the lockout system. At such point, the firing assembly 3550 can be advanced distally to complete its staple firing stroke, as illustrated in FIG. 37 .
[0445] A staple cartridge 3610 comprising a spent cartridge lockout is illustrated in FIGS. 39-42 . The staple cartridge 3610 comprises a cartridge body 3612 including staple cavities and a longitudinal slot 3614 defined therein. Referring primarily to FIG. 41 , the staple cartridge 3610 further comprises a sled 3616 which is movable between a proximal, unfired position (FIG. 39 ) and a distal, fired position by a firing assembly, such as firing assembly 2550, for example, to eject staples removably stored in the staple cavities during a staple firing stroke. Referring now to FIG. 39 , a portion of the sled 3616 travels within the longitudinal slot 3614 during the staple firing stroke. Moreover, referring to FIG. 40 , a portion of the firing assembly 2550 also travels within the longitudinal slot 3614 during the staple firing stroke. More specifically, the firing assembly 2550 comprises a coupling member 2551 that travels within the slot 3614.
[0446] The staple cartridge 3610 further comprises a lock 3670. The lock 3670 comprises a first end mounted to the cartridge body 3612 and a second end 3672 that extends into the longitudinal slot 3614. When the staple cartridge 3610 is in an unfired condition and the sled 3616 is in its proximal, unfired position, referring again to FIG. 40 , the second end 3672 of the lock 3670 is flexed into and held in an unlocked state by the sled 3616. In such instances, the lock 3670 cannot prevent the staple firing stroke from being initiated by the firing assembly 2550. As the sled 3616 is advanced distally by the firing assembly 2550, the sled 3616 is moved out of contact with the lock 3670. In such instances, the firing assembly 2550 continues to hold the lock 3670 in its unlocked configuration throughout the staple firing stroke.
[0447] After the staple firing stroke has been at least partially completed, the firing assembly 2550 can be retracted. In such instances, the sled 3616 is not retracted with the firing assembly 2550. Instead, the sled 3616 is left behind in a distal position within the cartridge body 3616. Thus, after the firing assembly 2550 has been completely retracted, referring to FIG. 42 , the lock 3670 can unflex into a locked configuration such that the second end 3672 blocks the longitudinal slot 3614. Stated another way, the second end 3672 of the lock 3670 can block the firing assembly 2550 from being advanced through another staple firing stroke.
[0448] Further to the above, the lock 3670 comprises a spent cartridge lockout. After the sled 3616 has been advanced distally out of alignment with the lock 3670, the staple cartridge 3610 has become a spent staple cartridge whether or not all of, or any of, the staples have been ejected from the staple cartridge 3610. Retraction of the firing assembly 2550 into its unfired position, at such point, would cause the staple cartridge 3610 to lock itself out. Accordingly, the staple cartridge 3610 would have to be removed from the surgical instrument and replaced with an unspent staple cartridge before the surgical instrument could be used once again.
[0449] Further to the above, the cartridge body 3610 can include a notch 3615 configured to receive a portion of the lock 3670 when the lock 3670 moves into its locked configuration, as illustrated in FIG. 42 . The notch 3615 is defined in a sidewall of the longitudinal slot 3614 and positioned opposite the first portion of the lock 3670 which is mounted to the cartridge body 3612. Interaction between the second end 3672 of the lock 3670 and the sidewalls of the notch 3615 can strengthen the lockout and reduce the possibility of the firing assembly 2550 being pushed by the lock 3670. In addition to or in lieu of the above, the firing assembly 2550 can comprise a lockout which is triggered, or actuated, when the firing assembly 2550 abuts the lock 3670.
[0450] Turning now to FIGS. 43-47 , a firing assembly 3750 of a surgical instrument 3700 comprises a firing rod 3752 and a firing bar 3754. The firing rod 3752 comprises an aperture 3755 defined in the distal end thereof. The aperture 3755 comprises a proximal endwall 3756 and a distal endwall 3757. The firing bar 3754 comprises a lockout 3770 positioned in the aperture 3755 at an interface 3753. When the firing rod 3752 is advanced distally during a staple firing stroke, the proximal endwall 3756 of the aperture 3755 contacts the lockout 3770 and pushes the firing bar 3754 distally. In the event that the force transmitted between the firing rod 3752 and the firing bar 3754 exceeds a predetermined force threshold, the lockout 3770 moves from an unlocked state (FIG. 45 ) into a locked state (FIG. 46 ). Similar to the above, the force threshold can be exceeded when the firing assembly 3750 abuts a spent cartridge lockout and/or a missing cartridge lockout, for example.
[0451] The lockout 3770 is rotatably and slidably mounted to the firing bar 3754. The firing bar 3754 comprises a longitudinal slot 3775 defined therein and the lockout 3770 comprises a pin 3771 slidably positioned within the slot 3775. The firing bar 3754 further comprises a spring 3776 positioned intermediate the pin 3771 and a distal end of the slot 3775. As a result, a firing force transmitted from the firing rod 3752 can flow through the lockout 3770 and the lockout pin 3771, through the spring 3776, and into the firing bar 3754—so long as the firing force is below the force threshold. In the event that the firing force exceeds the force threshold, the firing rod 3752 can push the lockout 3770 distally within the longitudinal slot 3775, as illustrated in FIG. 46 . In such instances, the lockout 3770 can also rotate upwardly into engagement with a shaft 3740 of the surgical instrument 3700. More specifically, referring primarily to FIG. 44 , the firing bar 3754 comprises ledges 3772 extending laterally therefrom which prevent the lockout 3770 from rotating upwardly when the firing force is below the threshold and the lockout 3770 is positioned in the proximal end of the longitudinal slot 3775; however, once the lockout 3770 is pushed distally away from the ledges 3772, the firing force acts to rotate the lockout 3770 upwardly as illustrated in FIG. 46 .
[0452] Further to the above, the shaft 3740 comprises a frame 3742 including a lock aperture 3748 defined therein which is configured to receive a portion of the lockout 3770 when the lockout 3770 is rotated upwardly. The interaction between the lockout 3770 and the sidewalls of the lock aperture 3748 prevent the firing assembly 3750 from being advanced distally through its staple firing stroke. Similar to the above, the lock aperture 3748 is defined in the shaft 3740 at a location which corresponds to the initiation of the staple firing stroke. As a result, the lockout 3770 is configured and arranged to assist in locking out the surgical instrument 3700 in the event that a staple cartridge is missing from, or a spent staple cartridge is positioned within, the surgical instrument 3700. That said, the lock aperture 3748 can be positioned in any suitable location. Moreover, more than one lock aperture 3748 can be utilized to provide more than one location in which the firing assembly 3750 can be locked out.
[0453] The lockout 3770 can be reset after it has been moved into its locked configuration (FIG. 46 ). Turning now to FIG. 47 , the firing rod 3752 can be moved proximally until the distal endwall 3757 of the aperture 3755 contacts the lockout 3770 and, at such point, the endwall 3757 can rotate the lockout 3770 downwardly and positively return the lockout 3770 to its unlocked configuration as the firing rod 3752 continues to move proximally. Moreover, the firing rod 3752 can pull the lockout 3770 back under the ledges 3772 (FIG. 44 ) as the firing rod 3752 is being retracted. At such point, the firing assembly 3750 is reset and can be re-advanced distally—assuming that the impediment which blocked the firing assembly 3750 has been addressed.
[0454] Turning now to FIGS. 48-51 , a surgical instrument 3800 comprises a shaft 3840 and a firing assembly 3850. The shaft 3840 comprises a frame 3842 and a longitudinal passage configured to slidably receive the firing assembly 3850. The firing assembly 3850 comprises a first firing rod 3851, a second firing rod 3852, and a firing bar 3854. The first firing rod 3851 is coupled to the second firing rod 3852 at an interconnection 3853. In use, referring to FIG. 49 , the interconnection 3853 is configured to transmit a force, or firing load, between the first firing rod 3851 and the second firing rod 3852. However, as discussed in greater detail below, the interconnection 3853 is configured to slip when the firing load transmitted through the firing assembly 3850 exceeds a predetermined force threshold.
[0455] Further to the above, the second firing rod 3852 comprises a proximal end 3855 positioned in a cavity defined in the distal end of the first firing rod 3851. The first firing rod 3851 further comprises lock arms 3857 engaged with the proximal end 3855 of the second firing rod 3852 which are configured to transmit the firing load from the first firing rod 3851 to the second firing rod 3852 when the firing load is below the force threshold. More specifically, the lock arms 3857 push on inclined surfaces 3859 defined on the proximal end 3855 of the second firing rod 3852. When the firing load exceeds the force threshold, the lock arms 3857 slide along the inclined surfaces 3859 causing the interconnection 3853 to slip, splay, and elastically flare outwardly to disrupt the firing stroke of the firing assembly 3850.
[0456] Further to the above, referring to FIG. 50 , the lock arms 3857 are configured to engage lock shoulders 3847 defined on the shaft frame 3842 when the lock arms 3857 slide relative to the inclined surfaces 3859 and flare outwardly. The interaction between the lock arms 3857 and the lock shoulders 3847 prevents the firing assembly 3850 from being advanced through its staple firing stroke. Similar to the above, the lock shoulders 3847 are positioned at the beginning of the staple firing stroke of the firing assembly 3850 such that the lockout feature of the firing assembly 3850 is responsive to a beginning-of-stroke lockout; however, the lock shoulders 3847 can be placed at any suitable location, or locations.
[0457] Further to the above, the firing assembly 3850 can be reset after it has been locked out. The first firing rod 3851 can be retracted proximally to operably re-engage the lock arms 3857 with the proximal end 3855 of the second firing rod 3852. In such instances, the lock arms 3857 can resiliently move inwardly to grasp the proximal end 3855. The firing assembly 3850 further comprises a biasing member, or spring, 3856 configured to bias a head of the proximal end 3855 against the lock arms 3857. Once the interconnection 3853 has been reset, referring to FIG. 51 , the firing assembly 3850 can be advanced through its staple firing stroke—assuming that the force threshold is not exceeded once again. Notably, the shaft frame 3842 prevents the lock arms 3857 from disengaging from the second firing rod 3852 during the staple firing stroke.
[0458] Turning now to FIGS. 52-56 , a surgical instrument 3900 comprises a shaft 3940, an end effector positioned at a distal end of the shaft 3940, an articulation actuator 3980 configured to articulate the end effector relative to the shaft 3940, and a firing assembly 3950. The shaft 3940 comprises a shaft frame 3942 which has a longitudinal cavity 3949 defined therein. The firing assembly 3950 comprises a first firing rod 3951, a second firing rod 3952, and a firing bar 3954. The first firing rod 3951 comprises a distal end 3957 operably engaged with a proximal end 3955 of the second firing rod 3952 at an interface 3953. When the firing load transmitted through the firing assembly 3950 is below a predetermined force threshold, referring to FIGS. 52-55 , the firing assembly 3950 can be pushed through a staple firing stroke. When the firing load exceeds the predetermined threshold within, and only within, a lockout zone that is prior to or at the beginning of the staple firing stroke, referring to FIG. 56 , the distal end 3957 of the first firing rod 3951 can slip relative to the proximal end 3955 of the second firing rod 3952 and stop the distal advancement of the second firing rod 3952.
[0459] Further to the above, in at least one embodiment, the distal end 3957 of the first firing rod 3951 comprises a barb and the proximal end 3955 of the second firing rod 3952 comprises a barb catch configured to be coupled with the barb of the distal end 3957. When the distal end 3957 decouples from the proximal end 3955, the barb of the distal end 3957 can engage a wall 3948 in the shaft 3940 and stop the distal advancement of the first firing rod 3951, and the firing assembly 3950, when the first firing rod 3951 slips relative to the second firing rod 3952.
[0460] Referring again to FIGS. 52 and 53 , the firing assembly 3950 further comprises a firing collar 3959 slidably positioned in the longitudinal cavity 3949 of the shaft 3940. The firing collar 3959 is comprises of a resilient material which is frictionally-engaged with the sidewalls of the longitudinal cavity 3949, for example. Upon comparing FIGS. 52 and 53 , it can be seen that the second firing rod 3952 slides within the firing collar 3959 while the firing collar 3959 remains stationary during the initial distal movement of the firing assembly 3950. This initial distal movement of the firing assembly 3950 is not part of the staple firing stroke. Such initial distal movement of the firing assembly 3950, however, can be used to perform a different function within the end effector, such as closing the end effector, for example.
[0461] Further to the above, the first firing rod 3951 comprises a projection 3960 defined thereon configured to engage the firing collar 3959 to initiate the staple firing stroke. At such point, the interface 3953 is positioned within the firing collar 3959 which prevents the distal end 3957 of the first firing rod 3951 from slipping relative to the proximal end 3955 of the second firing rod 3952 during the staple firing stroke. As a result of the above, the interface 3953 can decouple prior to or at the beginning of the staple firing stroke but, on the other hand, remain intact throughout the staple firing stroke. The firing collar 3959 comprises a rigid proximal end 3958 that is engaged by the projection 3960 and is pushed distally by the projection 3960 during the staple firing stroke, as illustrated in FIG. 56 . The firing assembly 3950 further comprises a spring 3956 positioned intermediate and compressed between the firing bar 3954 and the firing collar 3959 which can assist in controlling the relative position between the firing bar 3954 and the firing collar 3959.
[0462] Turning now to FIGS. 57-59 , a surgical instrument 4000 comprises a shaft 4040 and a firing assembly 4050. The shaft 4040 comprises a frame 4042 including a longitudinal aperture 4048 defined therein. The firing assembly 4050 comprises a firing rod 4052 and a plurality of flexible firing bars, or layers, 4054 that are operably coupled to a distal end 4057 of the firing rod 4052 at an interface 4053. The layers 4054 are configured to transmit a firing force from the firing rod 4052 to a coupling member 4051 of the firing assembly 4050 when the firing force is below a predetermined force threshold, as illustrated in FIG. 57 . In the event that the firing force exceeds the force threshold, the layers 4054 can flex outwardly, as illustrated in FIG. 58 , which can prevent the firing assembly 4050 from performing the staple firing stroke. In order to reset the firing assembly 4050, the firing rod 4052 can be retracted proximally to permit the layers 4054 to resiliently flex inwardly to their unflexed state. As illustrated in FIG. 59 , the firing assembly 4050 further comprises a firing collar 4059 configured to bolster the layers 4054 and prevent the layers 4054 from flexing outwardly during the staple firing stroke. Similar to the above, the firing collar 4059 is comprised of a flexible material that is frictionally-engaged with the sidewalls of the longitudinal shaft aperture 4048 and does not initially move with the layers 4054. Stated another way, the firing collar 4059 does not travel with the layers 4054 until the distal end 4057 of the firing rod 4052 contacts the firing collar 4059.
[0463] Turning now to FIGS. 60-64 , a surgical instrument 4100 comprises a shaft 4040 and a firing assembly 4150. The firing assembly 4150 comprises a first firing rod 4151, a second firing rod 4152, and a firing bar 4154. The first firing rod 4151 comprises a distal end positioned within an aperture 4153 defined in a proximal end of the second firing rod 4152. The second firing rod 4152 comprises a distal end comprising a longitudinal slot 4155 defined therein configured to receive a proximal end of the firing bar 4154. Referring primarily to FIGS. 60 and 61 , the second firing rod 4152 comprises a wall 4157 configured to transmit a firing force from the second firing rod 4152 to the firing bar 4154. The wall 4157 comprises a fuse. When the firing force is below a predetermined force threshold, the wall 4157 is configured to remain intact, as illustrated in FIG. 62 . In at least one instance, the force threshold is 80 lbf, for example. The wall 4157, however, is configured to fail when the firing force exceeds the force threshold, as illustrated in FIG. 63 . At such point, the firing bar 4154 slidable within a longitudinal slot 4158 defined in the second firing rod 4152 and the distal movement of the second firing rod 4152 is not transmitted to the firing bar 4154. The fuse, or wall, 4157 is not resettable.
[0464] The firing assembly 4150 can comprise other fuses in addition to or in lieu of the above. For instance, the second firing rod 4152 further comprises fuses 4156 positioned proximally with respect to the wall 4157. Fuses 4156 comprise displaceable elements positioned within and frictionally-engaged with the sidewalls of the longitudinal slot 4158. In certain embodiments, the fuses 4156 comprise walls integrally formed with the sidewalls of the slot 4158. In at least one instance, the fuses 4156 are each configured to fail at the same force threshold as the wall 4157, such as 80 lbf, for example. In such instances, a fuse 4156 can push the firing bar 4154 distally and the staple firing stroke can be completed in the event that the firing force exceeded the force threshold for only a moment. In the event that the firing force exceeds the force threshold for more than a moment, the fuses 4156 can fail sequentially, as illustrated in FIG. 64 . Alternatively, the fuses 4156 can be configured to fail at a threshold, or thresholds, that are larger than the force threshold of the wall 4157. For instance, the wall 4157 can have a force threshold of 60 lbf while the fuses can have a force threshold of 80 lbf. In at least one embodiment, the fuses 4156 can be configured to fail at increasingly higher force thresholds. For instance, the distal-most fuse 4156 can comprise the weakest fuse 4156, the fuse 4156 adjacent to the distal-most fuse 4156 can be stronger than the distal-most fuse 4156, and so forth. In other embodiments, the fuses 4156 fail at a lower force threshold than the wall 4157. In at least one such instance, the wall 4157 has a force threshold of 80 lbf and the fuses 4156 each have a force threshold of 60 lbf, for example.
[0465] Further to the above, the longitudinal slot 4158 has a length which is equal to or greater than the firing stroke of the firing assembly 4150. As a result, the second firing rod 4152 can be moved through its entire firing stroke after the wall 4157 and fuses 4156 fail without the firing bar 4154 abutting the proximal end of the longitudinal slot 4158. In order to retract the firing bar 4154 after the wall 4157 and/or the fuses 4156 have failed, the second firing rod 4152 can be retracted until the distal end of the longitudinal slot 4158 engages the firing bar 4154 and pulls the firing bar 4154 proximally. In certain instances, the firing bar 4154 is frictionally-engaged with the sidewalls of the longitudinal slot 4158 such that the firing bar 4154 can be retracted by the second firing rod 4152 if the wall 4157 and/or the fuses 4156 have failed.
[0466] Turning now to FIGS. 65-70 , a surgical instrument 4200 comprises a shaft 4040 and a firing assembly 4250. The firing assembly 4250 comprises a first firing rod 4251, a second firing rod 4252 mounted to the first firing rod 4251, and a firing bar 4254. The second firing rod 4252 comprises a distal end shoulder 4257 operably engaged with a proximal end shoulder 4255 of the firing bar 4254 at an interface 4253 to transmit a firing load through the firing assembly 4250 during a staple firing stroke when the firing load is below a predetermined force threshold, as illustrated in FIGS. 65 and 66 . The second firing rod 4252 further comprises one or more biasing members 4256 extending laterally therefrom. The biasing members 4256 are slidably engaged with the sidewalls of the longitudinal aperture 4048 in the shaft frame 4042. The biasing members 4256 are configured to bias the second firing rod 4252 into engagement with the firing bar 4254. When the firing load exceeds the force threshold, as illustrated in FIG. 67 , the biasing members 4256 can compress or deflect and permit the second firing rod 4252 to deflect laterally and operably disengage from the firing bar 4254. At such point, the second firing rod 4252 can slide relative to the firing bar 4254 without transmitting the firing force to the second firing rod 4252.
[0467] Further to the above, the firing assembly 4250 is resettable. Referring now to FIG. 68 , the first firing rod 4251 can be retracted proximally to retract the second firing rod 4252 such that, referring to FIG. 69 , the distal end shoulder 4257 of the second firing rod 4252 is realigned and operably re-coupled with the proximal end shoulder 4255 of the firing bar 4254. In such instances, the biasing members 4256 can unflex and re-expand to re-align the second firing rod 4252 with the firing bar 4254. At such point, referring now to FIG. 70 , the firing assembly 4250 can be advanced distally once again to complete the staple firing stroke. The reader should note that the interface 4253 of the firing assembly 4250 can decouple, and be recoupled, at any point before and/or during the staple firing stroke. Thus, the interface 4253 can decouple when the firing assembly 4250 engages a missing cartridge lockout, a spent cartridge lockout, and/or at any other moment in which the firing force becomes excessive.
[0468] Turning now to FIGS. 71-77 , a surgical instrument 4300 comprises a shaft 4340 and a firing assembly 4350. The shaft 4340 comprises a frame 4342. The frame 4342 comprises a proximal longitudinal aperture 4346 and a distal longitudinal aperture 4349 configured to receive the firing assembly 4350. The firing assembly 4350 comprises a first firing rod 4351, a second firing rod 4352 operably coupled to the first firing rod 4351, and a firing bar 4354 operably coupled to the second firing rod 4352 at an interface 4353. The interface 4353 comprises a multi-stage fuse, as described in greater detail below.
[0469] Further to the above, the firing bar 4354 comprises a proximal connector 4355 including drive recesses 4359 defined on opposite sides thereof. The proximal connector 4355 is positioned in a longitudinal slot 4358 defined in the second firing rod 4352 and is operably, and releasably, coupled to the second firing rod 4352 via projections 4356 which extend inwardly from the sidewalls of the second firing rod 4352 to engage the drive recesses 4359. In use, a firing load is transmitted from the first firing rod 4351, through the second firing rod 4352, and into the firing bar 4354 to perform a staple firing stroke when the firing load is below a predetermined force threshold, as illustrated in FIGS. 71 and 72 .
[0470] When the firing load transmitted through the firing assembly 4350 exceeds the force threshold, referring now to FIG. 73 , the sidewalls of the second firing rod 4352 can flex outwardly such that the projections 4356 can disengage from the drive recesses 4359 defined in the connector 4355. At such point, the firing bar 4354 is operably disengaged from the second firing rod 4352 and the staple firing stroke has been interrupted. When the interface 4353 decouples at the initiation of the staple firing stroke, referring again to FIG. 73 , the deflected sidewalls of the second firing rod 4352 can flex outwardly into the longitudinal aperture 4346 and engage the shaft frame 4342 to prevent the staple firing stroke of the firing assembly 4350. Stated another way, the deflected sidewalls of the second firing rod 4352 cannot enter the longitudinal aperture 4349 when the firing load exceeds the force threshold which prevents the second firing rod 4352 from being advanced distally.
[0471] When the firing load exceeds the force threshold during the staple firing stroke, however, the sidewalls of the second firing rod 4352 cannot deflect outwardly, or substantially outwardly, owing to their close proximity to the sidewalls of the longitudinal aperture 4349. As a result, a complete decoupling of the interface 4353 does not immediately occur if the force threshold is exceeded. Instead, referring to FIG. 74 , the firing assembly 4350 can enter into a first failed state. In the first failed state of the firing assembly 4350, the projections 4356 of the second firing rod 4352 have decoupled from the drive recesses 4359 defined in the proximal connector 4355 of the firing bar 4354, however, the projections 4356 are still engaged with the proximal connector 4355. More specifically, the projections 4356 are compressed against the lateral sides of the proximal connector 4355 by the sidewalls of the longitudinal aperture 4349 such that a firing force, and/or a retraction force, can still be transmitted from the second firing rod 4352 to the firing bar 4354. In such instances, the staple firing stroke can be completed and/or the clinician can decide to retract the firing assembly 4350.
[0472] Further to the above, referring now to FIG. 75 , the interface 4353 between the second firing rod 4352 and the firing bar 4354 can completely decouple and enter into a second failed state. In the second failed state, the projections 4356 are no longer engaged with the proximal connector 4355 of the firing bar 4354 and, as a result, the second firing rod 4352 can no longer deliver a firing motion and/or firing force to the firing bar 4354. Instead, the second firing rod 4352 will move relative to the firing bar 4354 as the second firing rod 4352 is moved distally. As illustrated in FIG. 71 , the second firing rod 4352 comprises a longitudinal slot 4358 configured to accommodate relative movement between the second firing rod 4352 and the firing bar 4354. The longitudinal slot 4358 is long enough such that the firing bar 4354 does not contact the proximal end 4357 of the slot 4358.
[0473] In various instances, further to the above, the force threshold for the firing assembly 4350 to enter into its first failed state and the force threshold for the firing assembly 4350 to enter into is second failed state are the same. In such instances, the firing assembly 4350 can switch into its first failed state if a momentary pulse, or increase, in the firing force occurs and, yet, still operate in the first failed state. If, however, the increase in the firing force is not momentary, the firing assembly 4350 can then quickly enter into its second failed state. In at least one instance, the first and second force thresholds are 80 lbf, for example. In other instances, the force threshold for the firing assembly 4350 to enter into its first failed state and the force threshold for the firing assembly 4350 to enter into is second failed state are different. For instance, the first force threshold is 60 lbf and the second force threshold is 80 lbf, for example. Alternatively, the first force threshold is 80 lbf and the second force threshold is 60 lbf, for example. In either event, the firing assembly 4350 may be able to push through high firing force conditions and still be functional.
[0474] In either event, referring now to FIGS. 71 and 72 , the firing assembly 4350 can be reset by retracting the second firing rod 4352. In at least one instance, the firing assembly 4350 can be reset into its first failed state and then re-operated. In other instances, the second firing rod 4352 is retracted until the projections 4356 resiliently re-engage the drive recesses 4359 defined in the proximal connector 4355 of the firing bar 4354 to completely reset the interface 4353 of the firing assembly 4350 before the firing assembly 4350 is re-operated. In either event, the retraction force applied to the second firing rod 4352 can be less than first force threshold and/or the second force threshold, for example.
[0475] A staple cartridge 4400 is illustrated in FIGS. 77A and 77B . The staple cartridge 4400 is similar to the staple cartridges disclosed herein in many respects—most of which are not discussed herein for the sake of brevity. Moreover, the staple cartridge 4400 is usable with any of the surgical instruments disclosed herein. The staple cartridge 4400 comprises a cartridge body 4410 and a sled movable through the cartridge body 4410 by a firing member during a firing stroke. The cartridge body 4410 comprises a longitudinal slot 4415 defined therein which is configured to receive the firing member. The cartridge body 4410 further comprises longitudinal rows of staple cavities 4420 and longitudinal rows of staple cavities 4430. More specifically, the cartridge body 4410 comprises two inner rows of staple cavities 4420 positioned on each side of the longitudinal slot 4415 and an outer row of staple cavities 4430 positioned on each side of the rows of staple cavities 4420. That said, the staple cartridge 4400 can comprise any suitable number and arrangement of staple cavities 4420 and 4430. The longitudinal rows of staple cavities 4420 and 4430 are parallel, or at least substantially parallel, to one another; however, other embodiments are envisioned in which the longitudinal rows of staple cavities 4420 and 4430 are not parallel to one another.
[0476] The staple cartridge 4400 further comprises staples 4440 removably stored in the staple cavities 4420 and staples 4450 stored in the staple cavities 4430. The staples 4440 comprise stamped staples which have been stamped from one or more sheets of material. The staples 4450 comprise wire staples which have been bent into a substantially V-shaped configuration, for example. The V-shaped configuration is an unformed, or unfired, configuration. That said, the staples 4450 can have any suitable unfired configuration. In any event, the staple cartridge 4400 further comprises staple drivers 4480 configured to eject the staples 4450 from the staple cavities 4430. During the firing stroke, the sled is configured to engage the staple drivers 4480 and push the staples 4450 upwardly out of the staple cavities 4430. Concurrently, the sled directly engages the staples 4440 to eject the staples 4440 from the staple cavities 4420. Referring to FIG. 77B , the staples 4440 and 4450 contact an anvil 4490, or any other suitable anvil, positioned opposite the staple cartridge 4400 as the staples 4440 and 4450 are being ejected from the staple cartridge 4400. The anvil 4490 comprises forming pockets 4470 defined therein which are aligned with the legs of the staples 4440 and 4450 and are configured to deform the staples 4440 and 4450 during the firing stroke. In alternative embodiments, an anvil can comprise a first type of forming pocket aligned with each staple 4440 and a second, or different, type of forming pocket aligned with each staple 4450.
[0477] Further to the above, the anvil 4490 is configured to deform the staples 4440 to a first formed height and the staples 4450 to a second, or different, formed height. In at least one such instance, the first formed height of the staples 4440 is taller than the second formed height of the staples 4450. In alternative embodiments, the anvil 4490 is configured to deform the staples 4440 and the staples 4450 to the same formed height. In any event, the anvil 4490 further comprises a longitudinal slot 4495 defined therein which is configured to receive the firing member during the firing stroke. The longitudinal anvil slot 4495 is aligned, or centered, with the longitudinal cartridge slot 4415 along a longitudinal axis 4405.
[0478] A staple cartridge 4500 is illustrated in FIGS. 77C and 77D . The staple cartridge 4500 is similar to the staple cartridges disclosed herein in many respects—most of which are not discussed herein for the sake of brevity. Moreover, the staple cartridge 4500 is usable with any of the surgical instruments disclosed herein. The staple cartridge 4500 comprises a cartridge body 4510 and a sled movable through the cartridge body 4510 by a firing member during a firing stroke. The cartridge body 4510 comprises a longitudinal slot 4415 defined therein which is configured to receive the firing member. The cartridge body 4510 further comprises longitudinal rows of staple cavities 4520′ and longitudinal rows of staple cavities 4520″. More specifically, the cartridge body 4510 comprises an inner row of staple cavities 4520′ positioned on each side of the longitudinal slot 4415 and two outer rows of staple cavities 4520″ positioned on each side of the rows of staple cavities 4520′. That said, the staple cartridge 4500 can comprise any suitable number and arrangement of staple cavities 4520′ and 4520″. The longitudinal rows of staple cavities 4520′ and 4520″ are parallel, or at least substantially parallel, to one another; however, other embodiments are envisioned in which the longitudinal rows of staple cavities 4520′ and 4520′ are not parallel to one another.
[0479] The staple cartridge 4500 further comprises staples 4540′ removably stored in the staple cavities 4520′ and staples 4540″ stored in the staple cavities 4520″. The staples 4540′ comprise stamped staples which have been stamped from one or more sheets of material. The staples 4540″ also comprise stamped staples which have been stamped from one or more sheets of material. As illustrated in FIG. 77E , the staples 4540″ are larger than the staples 4540′. More specifically, the staples 4540″ are taller than the staples 4540′. In addition, the staples 4540″ are wider than the staples 4540′. During the firing stroke, the sled directly engages the staples 4540′ and 4540″ to eject the staples 4540′ from the staple cavities 4520′ and the staples 4540″ from the staple cavities 4520″. Referring to FIG. 77D , the staples 4540′ and 4540″ contact an anvil 4590, or any other suitable anvil, positioned opposite the staple cartridge 4500 as the staples 4540′ and 4540″ are being ejected from the staple cartridge 4500. The anvil 4590 comprises forming pockets 4570′ defined therein which are aligned with the legs of the staples 4540′ and, in addition, forming pockets 4570″ defined therein which are aligned with the legs of the staples 4540″. The forming pockets 4570′ and 4570″ are configured to deform the staples 4540′ and 4540″, respectively, during the firing stroke.
[0480] Referring to FIGS. 77E and 77F , the anvil 4590 is configured to deform the staples 4540′ to a first formed height and the staples 4540″ to a second, or different, formed height. In at least one instance, the second formed height of the staples 4540″ is taller than the first formed height of the staples 4540′. In use, the innermost row of staples 4540′ in the staple cartridge 4500 are configured to apply a sufficiently-hemostatic seal in the incised tissue T, referring to FIG. 72F , and the outer row of larger staples 4540″ are configured to provide a certain amount of flexibility in the staple line. In alternative embodiments, the staples 4540′ and 4540″ are deformed to the same formed height. In any event, the anvil 4590 further comprises a longitudinal slot 4595 defined therein which is configured to receive the firing member during the firing stroke. The longitudinal anvil slot 4595 is aligned, or centered, with the longitudinal cartridge slot 4415 along a longitudinal axis 4505.
