  • Publication number: 20240382194
    Abstract: A cartridge assembly and a surgical stapler are provided. The cartridge assembly includes: a staple strip including a staple strip body; a support member; a cartridge cover including a second surface arranged relative to the first surface of the staple strip body, wherein a first gap is formed between the first surface of the staple strip body and the second surface of the cartridge cover; a firing member including a cutting portion, wherein the highest point of the cutting portion is higher than the first surface of the staple strip body. By forming the first gap, the cutting portion of the firing member is higher than the first surface of the staple strip, which facilitates the cutting portion to separate the staples from the staple strip body.

  • Patent number: 12096939
    Abstract: A firing mechanism and a circular stapler are provided. The firing mechanism includes a staple pushing assembly, which includes an actuating rod provided with a stopping groove; a firing handle, wherein a pin post is provided in the firing handle, a first end of the pin post is capable of protruding from a first end of the firing handle and entering the stopping groove, to stop the firing handle from rotating relative to the actuating rod; and a pressing button capable of moving along a first direction to press the first end of the pin post to move towards a second end of the firing handle. Before the stapler reaches a ready-to-fire state, the pin post is inserted in the stopping groove of the actuating rod, to limit the rotation of the firing handle, therefore the operator cannot press the firing handle to fire the stapler.

  • Patent number: 12082816
    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.

  • Patent number: 11980361
    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.
