Embodiment Construction

[0027] Embodiments of surgical clip appliers according to the present disclosure will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein like reference numerals indicate similar or identical structural elements. As shown in the drawings and described throughout the following specification, as is commonly used when referring to relative positioning on surgical instruments, the term "proximal" refers to the end of the instrument that is closer to the user, while the term " "Distal" refers to the end of the instrument that is further from the user.

[0028] refer to Figure 1 to Figure 3 , a surgical clip applier according to the present disclosure is generally designated 100 . Generally, surgical clip applier 100 includes a handle assembly 102 and an endoscope body portion including a shaft assembly 104 extending distally from handle assembly 102 and disposed at a distal end of shaft assembly 104. There is a jaw assembly or jaw blade 120 . Typical...

Abstract

The invention provides a surgical clip applier including atraumatic jaw feature. An improved jaw blade for a surgical clip applier includes first and second legs and first and second jaws integrally connected to the first (120a) and second (120b) legs, respectively. Each of the jaws includes an inner surface (123a,123b) having a channel (124a,124b) oriented substantially along a longitudinal axis of the jaw (122a,122b). The channels (124a,124b) each have a depth ("D") less than the width ("w") of the legs of the clip ("C") to be received therein. The jaw legs (120a,120b) each define a longitudinal axis substantially parallel to one another and a plane therebetween. The jaw legs (120a,120b) are movable in the plane between an open position for receiving a clip ("C") in the channels (124a,124b) thereof, and a closed position for forming the clip ("C") received therein. When the jaw legs (120a,120b) are in the closed position, the legs (220a,220b) of the clip ("C") contact with one another and the inner surfaces (123a,123b) of the jaws (122a,122b) are spaced-apart from one another defining an atraumatic area ("A") therebetween.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims the benefit of and priority to US Provisional Application Serial No. 61 / 499,839, filed June 22, 2011, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. technical field [0003] The present disclosure relates to surgical instruments. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to an endoscopic surgical clip applier. Background technique [0004] Endoscopic staplers and clip appliers are well known in the art and are used in a variety of different and useful surgical procedures. In the case of laparoscopic procedures, access into the abdomen is achieved by a small diameter tube or cannula inserted through a small access incision in the skin. Minimally invasive procedures performed on other parts of the body are generally referred to as endoscopic procedures. Typically, a tube or cannula device is inserted into the patient's body through the access incision to provide the access p...
