Surgical device having a track to guide an actuator

摘要

A surgical device includes a handle having a slot with a first track and a second track. A shaft extends from the handle and has a first internal lumen and an opening disposed at a distal end. An anvil is slidingly disposed in the opening between open and closed positions to capture tissue within the opening. A cutting blade slidingly disposed in the opening between a closed position and a forward position. An actuator is movably disposed in the handle and operatively connected to the anvil and the cutting blade, wherein when the actuator is moved a first predetermined distance in the first track the anvil moves between the open position and the closed position, and when the actuator is moved a second predetermined distance in the second track further the cutting blade moves between the closed position and the forward position.
