SURGICAL CUTTING AND FASTENING DEVICE WITH DESCENDIBLE SECOND TRIGGER ARRANGEMENT

摘要

A nested trigger assembly (128) for a surgical instrument may generally comprise a first trigger (130a) and a second trigger (130b), wherein the first trigger and the second trigger are movable together on a first stroke of the nested trigger assembly, wherein the second trigger is configured to be biased away from the first trigger after the first stroke and before a second stroke, and wherein the second trigger is configured to be moved toward to the first trigger during the second stroke. A surgical instrument (100) may generally comprise a shaft (106) comprising a proximal end and a distal end, a handle (105) extending from the proximal end, wherein the handle comprises a gripping portion (102), and a nested trigger assembly (128) extending from the handle. The nested trigger assemble may comprise one of a separable trigger assembly and a divisible trigger assembly.
