Abstract

A shipping wedge (10) for a staple cartridge includes a body (12), an elongate fin (22), at least one tooth (32), and a knife stop (20). The elongate fin (22) is supported on a bottom surface (16) of the body (12). The tooth (32) extends from the bottom surface (16) on the proximal portion of the body (12) and is positioned to be received within a recess formed in the staple cartridge (102). The knife stop (20) extends from a top surface (14) of the proximal end of the body and is positioned to obstruct movement of a knife bar (122) of the staple cartridge (102) when the shipping wedge (10) is attached to the staple cartridge (102). A sled stop member (26) extends from the bottom surface (16) on the proximal portion of the body (12) of the shipping wedge (10) and is positioned to obstruct movement of an actuation sled of the staple cartridge (102).

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates to a shipping wedge for a staple cartridge of a surgical stapler device, and more particularly, to a shipping wedge for a staple cartridge of a linear surgical stapler device to prevent advancement of a knife bar and retain staples in the staple bin. Background technique [0002] Surgical stapling devices containing replaceable staple cartridges are commonly used in surgical procedures to join segments of tissue. Typically, a staple cartridge includes a body that defines a central knife channel and includes a knife bar with a cutting edge. The shipping wedge includes elongated fins that are received within the knife slots of the staple cartridge to frictionally secure the shipping wedge to the staple cartridge in a position that prevents advancement of the knife bar. [0003] In known shipping wedges, the elongated fins contain smaller ribs that increase the frictional resistance between the elongated fins and the main ...
