Abstract
A surgical instrument is operable to deploy an anastomotic ring device. The instrument comprises a ring deployment mechanism configured to receive and deploy the anastomotic ring through an actuating force. The instrument further comprises an electroactive polymer that is configured to receive voltage from a power source. The electroactive polymer is configured to convert the voltage to a mechanical actuating force. The electroactive polymer is further configured to apply the actuating force to the ring deployment mechanism to deploy the anastomotic ring.
