Abstract

The present disclosure includes apparatuses for a surgical handle assembly. An example apparatus includes a movable handle member and a switch configured to provide two or more modes of operation for the movable handle member and a driving pawl pivotally connected to a swing wheel configured to advance an actuation shaft linearly in a distal direction in response to actuation of the movable handle member.

Claims (45)

1. A surgical handle assembly apparatus, comprising:

a movable handle member;

an actuation shaft; and

a switch configured to: (a) provide a first mode of operation for the movable handle member by connecting a first pin to the movable handle member via a first opening and (b) provide a second mode of operation for the movable handle member by connecting a second pin to the movable handle member via a second opening,

wherein, in the first mode of operation, the actuation shaft is advanced linearly in a distal direction a first distance in response to actuation of the movable handle member,

wherein, in the second mode of operation, the actuation shaft is advanced linearly in the distal direction a second distance in response to actuation of the movable handle member, and

wherein the first distance is different from the second distance.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein:

in the first mode of operation, a first amount of force is required to move the movable handle;

in the second mode of operation, a second amount of force is required to move the movable handle; and

the first amount of force is different from the second amount of force.

3. The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a driving pawl configured to advance the actuation shaft.

4. The apparatus of claim 3 , further comprising a swing wheel, wherein the driving pawl is pivotally connected to the swing wheel, and wherein the swing wheel is connected to the movable handle.

5. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the switch includes the first pin and the second pin.

6. A surgical handle assembly apparatus, comprising:

a movable handle member;

a switch configured to: (a) provide a first mode of operation for the movable handle member by connecting a first pin to the movable handle member via a first opening and (b) provide a second mode of operation for the movable handle member by connecting a second pin to the movable handle member via a second opening,

wherein, in the first mode of operation, the movable handle pivots on a first pivot point, and

wherein, in the second mode of operation, the movable handle pivots on a second pivot point.

7. The apparatus of claim 6 , further comprising an actuation shaft, wherein the actuation shaft is advanced linearly in a distal direction a first distance in response to actuation of the movable handle member during the first mode of operation, and wherein the actuation shaft is advanced linearly in the distal direction a second distance in response to actuation of the movable handle member during the second mode of operation.

8. The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein;

in the first mode of operation, a first amount of force is required to move the movable handle;

in the second mode of operation, a second amount of force is required to move the movable handle; and

the first amount of force is different from the second amount of force.

9. The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the switch includes the first pin and the second pin.

10. The apparatus of claim 6 , further comprising a swing wheel connected to the movable handle.

11. The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the movable handle member pivots around the first pin at the first pivot point during the first mode of operation, and wherein the movable handle member pivots around the second pin at the second pivot point during the second mode of operation.

12. The apparatus of claim 6 , further comprising a driving pawl, wherein:

in the first and second modes of operation, the driving pawl is configured to: advance an actuation shaft linearly in a distal direction to deploy one or more staples, and

the apparatus is configured to deploys a different number of staples in the first mode of operation than in the second mode of operation.

13. A surgical handle assembly apparatus, comprising:

a movable handle member; and

a switch configured to (a) provide a first mode of operation for the movable handle member by connecting a first pin to the movable handle member via a first opening and (b) to provide a second mode of operation for the movable handle member by connecting a second pin to the movable handle member via a second opening,

wherein, in the first mode of operation, a first amount of force is required to move the movable handle,

wherein, in the second mode of operation, a second amount of force is required to move the movable handle, and

wherein the first amount of force is different from the second amount of force.

14. The apparatus of claim 13 , further comprising a staple cartridge, wherein:

a driving pawl is configured to: advance a toothed rack linearly in a distal direction in response to actuation of the movable handle to deploy one or more staples in the first and second modes of operation, and

the apparatus is configured to deploys a different number of staples in the first mode of operation than in the second mode of operation.

15. The apparatus of claim 14 , wherein the one or more staples are contained in a staple cartridge removably connected to the toothed rack.

16. The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein a driving pawl is configured to: (i) advance a toothed rack linearly in a distal direction a first distance in response to actuation of the movable handle member during the first mode of operation and (ii) advance the toothed rack linearly in the distal direction a second distance in response to actuation of the movable handle member during the second mode of operation.

17. The apparatus of claim 13 , further comprising a swing wheel connected to the movable handle member and to a driving pawl.

18. The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the first pin is not coupled to the movable handle member via the first opening during the second mode of operation.

19. The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the second pin is not coupled to the movable handle member via the second opening during the first mode of operation.

20. The apparatus of claim 13 wherein the switch includes the first pin and the second pin.
