Abstract:
A tool assembly for a surgical stapling device includes a channel member for supporting a staple cartridge therein and an anvil to deform a plurality of staples ejected from the staple cartridge thereagainst. The tool assembly also includes a sled which is movable to force the staples from the cartridge against the anvil to staple tissue disposed between the anvil and the staple cartridge. A dynamic clamping member is included which has a pin which movably engages the anvil and a flange which movably engages the channel assembly. The dynamic clamping member is mounted to and movable with the sled. The pin and the flange of the dynamic clamping member cooperating to oppose the forces associated with clamping and stapling tissue and also to maintain a substantially uniform gap between the anvil and the staple cartridge during stapling of the tissue.

Claim (Index 15):
A surgical stapling device comprising:\n a proximal end configured to be removably associated with a robotic system; a distal end having an anvil assembly and a channel assembly pivotable relative to the anvil assembly, the channel assembly having a channel dimensioned to releasably receive a replaceable staple cartridge assembly, the replaceable staple cartridge assembly having a plurality of surgical staples, wherein the staple cartridge assembly is configured to be selectively coupled to and decoupled from the channel to facilitate replacement of the staple cartridge assembly; and a clamping member configured to move along at least one of a portion of the replaceable staple cartridge assembly or at least a portion of the channel assembly, the movement of the clamping member along at least one of a portion of the replaceable staple cartridge assembly or at least a portion of the channel assembly causing at least one or more of the anvil assembly or the channel assembly to clamp and staples to be fired from the staple cartridge assembly when the staple cartridge assembly is received in the channel assembly.
