A partially reusable surgical stapler for deploying staples into tissue. The stapler has a body with a distal end, a proximal end and a longitudinal axis therebetween. The proximal end includes a handle while the distal end includes a staple cartridge holder and an opposing anvil. The stapler also has an actuator module for deploying staples. The actuator module includes at least one longitudinally movable member for sequentially ejecting staples towards the anvil. The actuator module is readily removable and replaceable to and from the body. The components of the stapler body can be disassembled, reconditioned and reassembled for reuse in a different surgical procedure.
