Abstract: A surgical stapling device includes a handle assembly, an adapter assembly, and a reload assembly that is releasably secured to the adapter assembly to facilitate replacement of the reload assembly after each use of the stapling device. The reload assembly includes an authentication chip and printed circuit board assembly that is constructed to provide electrical contacts that are self-supporting to allow for automated assembly of the electrical contacts and provide a more reliable, robust electrical connection between the electrical contacts and the chip.

Abstract: A surgical device includes an outer sleeve, and a luer. The outer sleeve includes an inner wall, a port and a housing. The port extends through the inner wall of the outer sleeve, and the housing is disposed within the port. The luer is configured for selective engagement with the housing, and includes an input portion and an exit port. The input portion is disposed radially outward of the outer sleeve when the luer is engaged with the housing. The input portion is configured for engagement with a source of fluid. The exit port is disposed radially inward of the inner wall of the outer sleeve when the luer is engaged with the housing.
