Deployment mechanisms for surgical instruments

摘要

A surgical instrument includes a first drive assembly, a second drive assembly, and a deployment mechanism. The first drive assembly is coupled to a first component and is configured to translate a first longitudinal distance X1 to deploy the first component. The second drive assembly is coupled to a second component and is configured to translate a second longitudinal distance X2 to deploy the second component. The deployment mechanism is operably coupled to both the first and second drive assemblies and is configured to move from a first position to a second position to translate the first and second drive assemblies the respective first and second longitudinal distances X1 and X2 to deploy the first and second components.

1. A surgical instrument, comprising:
a first drive assembly coupled to a first component, the first drive assembly configured to translate a first longitudinal distance X1 to deploy the first component; a second drive assembly coupled to a second component, the second drive assembly configured to translate a second longitudinal distance X2 to deploy the second component, wherein the first longitudinal distance X1 is greater than the second longitudinal distance X2; and a deployment mechanism operably coupled to both the first and second drive assemblies, the deployment mechanism configured to move from a first position to a second position to simultaneously translate the first and second drive assemblies the respective first and second longitudinal distances X1 and X2 to simultaneously deploy the first and second components.
