FIELD: medicine.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to medicine. The surgical instrument includes a housing, a removable insert with a measurement indicator and an end effector at the distal end of the housing. The end effector has an inner distal surface facing the proximal end of the housing and adapted to receive the insert. When the insert is received by the end effector, the activation element is in communication with the end effector and the insert. The activation element is arranged to distally advance the insert to the inner distal surface of the end effector. The removable insert measurement indicator is configured to determine the thickness of tissue located between the removable insert and the inner distal surface of the end effector. Based on the measured tissue thickness, the user is able to select the cartridge.
