The actuator knob is composed to be rotatable between a first position where the actuator knob is movable along the first side surface of the housing and a second position where the actuator knob is movable along the second side surface of the housing. The surgical stapling instrument can include more than one actuator knobs. The actuator knob can be engaged with the pusher bar to be capable of acting, or be released from it, so that the actuator knob is selectively used. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT |
