A surgical end effector assembly (100) includes a pair of jaw members (110, 120), a knife (170) defining a longitudinal slot (172), a pivot pin (101) coupling the jaw members (110, 120) to one another, and a drive member (160) including a drive pin (161) that is engaged to the jaw members (110, 120). The pivot pin (101) and/or the drive pin (161) extends through the longitudinal slot (172) of the knife (170) to couple the knife (170) to the jaw members (110, 120) and/or the drive member (160). The surgical end effector assembly (100) is transitionable between a use position, wherein the knife (170) and drive member (160) are generally aligned with one another to facilitate releasable engagement of the surgical end effector assembly (100) with a surgical instrument, and a cleaning position, wherein the jaw members (110, 120), knife (170), and drive member (160) are fanned apart from one another to facilitate cleaning of the surgical end effector assembly (100). Methods of disengaging and sterilizing end effector assemblies for reuse are also provided. |
