  • Patent number: 11877749
    Abstract: A knob assembly and a circular stapler are provided. The knob assembly includes a knob driver, a knob body, a first cooperating component and a second cooperating component. In a blocking state, the first cooperating component is linked with the second cooperating component; while in an unblocking state, the first cooperating component is not fixedly linked with the second cooperating component. One of the first cooperating component and the second cooperating component is provided at the knob driver and the other one is provided at the knob body. When the knob driver is rotated, if a rotating resistance to the knob body reaches a preset resistance value, the knob assembly cannot transmit larger torque, therefore the knob assembly is in a failure mode, the position of the anvil assembly relative to the cartridge remains unchanged, and the tissues will not be excessively compressed.

  • Publication number: 20220323077
    Abstract: A closure driving mechanism and a surgical stapler are provided. The closure driving mechanism includes a firing handle, a first slider, a locking member, a closure driver, and an actuating rod. The locking member fits with the first slider when the firing handle is actuated in an initial state and separates from the first slider after the stapler being fired. Therefore, the closure driver is locked by the fit cooperation between the first slider and the locking member after a head assembly is closed, to avoid the pulling sheet from moving distally during a firing process. After the firing process is fired, the locking member no longer locks the closure driver, therefore, the cartridge and the anvil can be opened automatically.

  • Publication number: 20220323068
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a closure driving mechanism and a medical stapler including the same. The closure driving mechanism includes a driving part and a cylinder body, the driving part is connected with a closure pulling sheet of the stapler, and a cavity provided with a one-way valve is formed inside the cylinder body. When the driving part moves toward a distal side of the stapler, a volume of the cavity is decreased, the one-way valve is closed, and the driving part drives the closure pulling sheet to move distally, so as to open a head assembly of the stapler. Since the driving part is subjected to a resistance of compressed air in the cavity, a movement speed of the driving part is decreased, and the head assembly is opened slowly to prevent a force of opening the head assembly being too large to damage surrounding tissues.

  • Patent number: 10675029
    Abstract: A linear surgical stapler includes an upper staple cartridge receiving half-section, a lower staple cartridge receiving half-section and a staple cartridge assembly. The staple cartridge assembly includes a cutting groove in which a reciprocating movement cutter is mounted. The cutter includes a bottom surface and a knife blade located at a far end of the cutter. The staple cartridge assembly includes a restricting member mounted therein and an elastic stopper. The elastic stopper abuts against the restricting member when the staple cartridge assembly is in an initial state. The restricting member breaks away from the staple cartridge assembly when the staple cartridge assembly is in a firing complete state, thereby preventing the cutter from sliding towards the far end of the staple cartridge. As a result, misfiring throughout the whole operation of the linear surgical stapler is prevented.
