HYSTERESIS REMOVAL FEATURE IN SURGICAL STAPLING INSTRUMENT

摘要

an apparatus includes a body, a shaft assembly, an acting end, and an indicator assembly. the terminal manipulator includes a stationary component and a movable component. the indicator set includes a translation element and an indicator member. the translation member translates in relation to the body in response to the movement of the mobile component in relation to the stationary component. the indicator member moves from a first position to a second position. the indicating member includes an integral resilient element configured to press the indicating member towards the first position. the translation member pushes the indicator member towards the second position in response to the movement of the moving component in relation to the stationary component in a first direction. the elastic characteristic drives the indicator member towards the first position in response to the movement of the moving component in relation to the stationary component in a second direction.
