SURGICAL DEVICE, SURGICAL ADAPTERS FOR USE BETWEEN SURGICAL HANDLE ASSEMBLY AND SURGICAL LOADING UNITS, AND METHODS OF USE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a surgical device.SOLUTION: A surgical device 100 comprises: a handle housing 102 supporting a first actuation mechanism; an adapter 200 configured to mechanically engage a portion of the first actuation mechanism; an elongated portion configured to extend distally from the adapter; an end effector 500 configured to mechanically engage a distal portion of the elongated portion; a first drive element disposed in mechanical cooperation with the first drive assembly; and a second drive element disposed in mechanical cooperation with the first drive assembly. Rotation of the first drive assembly in a first direction about a longitudinal axis causes distal translation of the first drive element. Rotation of the first drive assembly in a second direction about the longitudinal axis causes distal translation of the second drive element. The first direction is opposite from the second direction.
