Abstract

See full text

A surgical stapling apparatus includes a housing assembly, an elongated shaft assembly, an anvil assembly, a cartridge assembly, and a firing drive screw coupled to a firing nut. The elongated shaft assembly defines a longitudinal axis and has a distal end portion and a proximal end portion. The proximal end portion is selectively attached to the housing assembly. The anvil assembly is supported on the distal end portion of the elongated shaft assembly. The cartridge assembly is selectively attached to the anvil assembly to secure the cartridge assembly to the elongated shaft assembly. The firing nut is coupled to a firing tube. The firing tube is coupled to a firing rod. The firing rod is positioned to advance a drive beam assembly through the cartridge assembly.
