STAPLE CARTRIDGE RETENTION FEATURES FOR SURGICAL STAPLER

原文（中文）

An apparatus includes an end effector, a staple cartridge retainer, and a staple cartridge datum locator. The end effector includes a first jaw, a second jaw, a knife sled, and a replaceable staple cartridge. The first jaw can selectively couple with the replaceable staple cartridge and the knife sled can actuate along a firing stroke to cut and staple tissue called by the first and second jaws. The staple cartridge retainer is located along a distal portion of the end effector and includes a resilient retention body that can inhibit the replaceable staple cartridge from disassociating with the first jaw. The staple cartridge datum location is located along a proximal portion of the end effector and can position the replaceable staple cartridge at its predetermined datum location when the first and second jaw are in a closed position.
