FIELD: medicine.
SUBSTANCE: surgical instrument comprises a handle, a rod directed from this handle, and an end effector pivotally coupled to the rod. Additionally, the surgical instrument includes a staple cartridge positioned within the end effector, and an actuator. The actuator is operatively connected to the release mechanism. Release mechanism operation can promote and/or delay the actuator trigger with respect to the end effector. Hinge drive can be selectively connected to the actuator by means of hinge drive engagement/disengagement. When the hinge drive is connected to the actuator, actuator operation leads to the hinge drive operation and pivotally rotates the end effector.
EFFECT: actuator can operate independently of the hinge drive.
