Zusammenfassung:A disposable linear surgical stapler includes a handle (11), anvil (15), staple cartridge (14), and flexible shaft (12) attaching the handle to the cartridge and transmitting a firing force exerted at the handle to the distant cartridge for sequentially implanting, forming and clinching staples (S) in two staggered staple lines. A flexible cable (27) in the flexible shaft pulls a firing wedge across a plurality of staple drivers (40) in the cartridge. The anvil is adjustable to vary the gap (G) between the anvil and staple cartridge.
