Abstract: An endoscopic shaft assembly includes: an elongate outer shaft; and an outer housing coupled to a proximal portion of the elongate outer shaft. The outer housing includes: a tubular wall defining a cavity; and a shaft plunger disposed within the cavity and configured to move axially within at least a portion of the cavity along a travel path. The shaft plunger includes a collar. The collar is configured to be separated from the tubular wall along a first travel portion of the travel path and to contact the tubular wall along a second travel portion of the travel path.

Abstract: A surgical clip applier (100) includes a handle assembly (110) having a housing (118), a trigger (114), and an advancing mechanism supported in the housing (118) and being actuatable by the trigger (114). An elongated tube assembly (200) extends from the housing (118). A first shaft (202) is slidably disposed within the elongated tube assembly (200) and defines a surface portion (203). A second shaft (215) is disposed through an outer surface of the elongated tube assembly (200) and is in operative engagement with the surface portion (203) of the first shaft (202). Upon actuating the advancing mechanism, the first shaft (202) moves distally within the elongated tube assembly (200) relative to the second shaft (215) such that the surface portion (203) of the first shaft (202) traverses the second shaft (215) to produce at least one of an audible or tactile feedback.

Abstract: A reposable surgical clip applier includes a handle assembly, a shaft assembly, and a clip cartridge assembly. The shaft assembly includes a pair of jaws and a drive assembly. The clip cartridge assembly includes a stack of surgical clips supported therein and a clip pusher. When the shaft assembly is releasably engaged with the handle assembly and the clip cartridge assembly is releasably engaged within the shaft assembly, a pusher bar of the drive assembly is operably positioned relative to the clip pusher and the handle assembly is operably associated with the drive assembly such that actuation of a trigger of the handle assembly moves the pusher bar distally to load the distal-most clip of the stack of surgical clips into the pair of jaws and moves the jaws-engaging portion distally to cam the pair of jaws towards one another to form the distal-most clip about tissue.

Abstract: A reposable surgical clip applier (10) is provided and includes a handle assembly (100), an endoscopic assembly (200) selectively connectable to a housing of the handle assembly (100), and a clip cartridge assembly (300) selectively loadable in and connectable to the endoscopic assembly (200).

Abstract: A reposable surgical clip applier (10) includes a handle assembly (100) and an endoscopic assembly (200, 300, 400). The handle assembly (100) includes a housing (110) defining a body portion (111) and a fixed handle portion (112) extending from the body portion (111) and a trigger (122) pivotably connected to the housing (110) and movable relative to the fixed handle portion (112) between an un-actuated position and an actuated position. The endoscopic assembly (200, 300, 400) includes a proximal hub (210, 310, 410) configured to be selectively engageable with the housing (110) of the handle assembly (100), an elongated shaft (340) extending distally therefrom, an end effector (350) supported at a distal end of the elongated shaft (340), and an inner drive assembly (320) including a proximal portion (323) and a distal portion (325).

Abstract: An endoscopic shaft assembly (200) includes: an elongate outer shaft (222); and an outer housing (212) coupled to a proximal portion (222a) of the elongate outer shaft (222). The outer housing (212) includes: a tubular wall (215) defining a cavity (214); and a shaft plunger (234) disposed within the cavity (214) and configured to move axially within at least a portion of the cavity (214) along a travel path. The shaft plunger (234) includes a collar (236). The collar (236) configured to be separated from the tubular wall (215) along a first travel portion of the travel path and to contact the tubular wall (215) along a second travel portion of the travel path.

Abstract: A reposable surgical clip applier (10) is provided and includes a handle assembly (100), an endoscopic assembly (200) selectively connectable to a housing of the handle assembly (100), and a clip cartridge assembly (300) selectively loadable in and connectable to the endoscopic assembly (200).

Abstract: A reposable surgical clip applier (10) includes a handle assembly (100) and an endoscopic assembly (200, 300, 400). The handle assembly (100) includes a housing (110) defining a body portion (111) and a fixed handle portion (112) extending from the body portion (111) and a trigger (122) pivotably connected to the housing (110) and movable relative to the fixed handle portion (112) between an un-actuated position and an actuated position. The endoscopic assembly (200, 300, 400) includes a proximal hub (210, 310, 410) configured to be selectively engageable with the housing (110) of the handle assembly (100), an elongated shaft (340) extending distally therefrom, an end effector (350) supported at a distal end of the elongated shaft (340), and an inner drive assembly (320) including a proximal portion (323) and a distal portion (325).

Abstract: A clip cartridge assembly (300) is provided including a clip tray (302), cartridge clip pusher bar (304), and a plurality of surgical clips (C) interposed therebetween. The clip tray (302) is configured to be selectively loadable in a channel assembly (108) of a surgical clip applier (100) and includes a first plurality of distally oriented, deflectable, resilient fingers (302d) projecting from a base wall thereof. The cartridge clip pusher bar (304) is disposed adjacent the clip tray (302) and is slidable relative thereto. The cartridge clip pusher bar (304) includes a second plurality of distally oriented, deflectable, resilient fingers (304e) projecting from a base wall thereof and each terminating in a distal shoulder (304f). A surgical clip applier (100) is also provided.
