SINGLE-TRIGGER CLAMPING AND FIRING OF SURGICAL STAPLER

摘要

An exemplary surgical apparatus includes an end effector; and a handle operationally connected to the end effector, the handle including a trigger and a mode button; where the mode button is first in a neutral position in which actuation of the trigger causes the end effector to move to a clamped configuration; and where the mode button is movable laterally to a second position in which actuation of the trigger causes the end effector to deploy staples.
