Surgical fastener applying device

摘要

A fastener applying device for applying surgical fasteners to body tissue is provided. The fastener applying device includes an approximation mechanism having a single actuator to perform fast closure and incremental approximation of a cartridge carrier and anvil. The cartridge carrier and anvil can be approximated into a multiplicity of predetermined firing enabled positions. An adjustment member is operably associated with a firing mechanism of the device to vary the maximum stroke of a pusher bar. The adjustment member facilitates ejection of multiple size fasteners from the device.
