SURGICAL DEVICE WITH A TRIGGER LOCKOUT MECHANISM DEVICE A surgical device (10) includes a handle assembly (12), a drive assembly (20), and a lockout mechanism (30). The handle assembly (12) includes a fixed handle (14) and a moveable handle (16). The moveable handle (16) includes an internal end defining an opening. The opening includes a toothed rack (23). The moveable handle (16) has an initial position and a full-squeezed position. In the initial position, the moveable handle (16) is spaced-apart from the fixed handle (14). In the full-squeezed position, the moveable handle (16) is approximated toward the fixed handle (14). The drive assembly (20) is disposed within the handle assembly (12) and is engaged by the toothed rack (23). The lockout mechanism (30) is disposed with in the handle assembly (12) and is engaged with the moveable handle (16) to prevent movement of the moveable handle (16) towards the initial position before the moveable handle (16) reaches the full-squeezed position. |
