Anvil-mounted dissecting tip for surgical stapling device

摘要

A surgical stapling device including a handle assembly, an endoscopic portion and an end effector is disclosed. The endoscopic portion extends distally from the handle assembly and defines a first longitudinal axis. The end effector defines a second longitudinal axis and includes an anvil assembly and a cartridge assembly. The anvil assembly is supported adjacent a distal end of the endoscopic portion and includes a dissecting tip extending therefrom. The cartridge assembly is pivotably mounted adjacent the distal end of the endoscopic portion. The cartridge assembly is mounted for pivotal movement in relation to the anvil assembly between open and approximated positions.

1. A surgical device, comprising:
a handle assembly; an endoscopic portion extending distally from the handle assembly and defining a first longitudinal axis; and an end effector defining a second longitudinal axis, the end effector including:
a first jaw member supported adjacent a distal end of the endoscopic portion and including a dissecting tip, wherein the first jaw member is fixed from pivotal movement with respect to the endoscopic portion; anda second jaw member supported adjacent the distal end of the endoscopic portion and being mounted for pivotal movement in relation to the first jaw member between open and approximated positions, and wherein a distal-most end of the dissecting tip extends distally beyond a distal-most end of the second jaw member.
