<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a motor-driven surgical cutting/fastening instrument with an articulatable end effector. <P>SOLUTION: The surgical cutting/fastening instrument includes an end effector having a movable cutting instrument. The instrument includes a main drive shaft assembly for actuating the cutting instrument in the end effector as well. The instrument also includes a gear drive train which is connected to the main drive shaft assembly, a motor for actuating the gear drive train, a closure trigger which causes the end effector to clamp an object arranged in the end effector when the closure trigger is retracted, and a firing trigger which separate from the closure trigger for actuating the motor when the firing trigger is retracted. The instrument includes a means for articulating the end effector. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT |
