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 20):
The surgical tool of  claim 17 , further comprising a sled having at least one cam wedge, wherein the movement of the upper engagement surfaces of the first and second transverse protrusions of the lower transverse member of the clamping member along the surface of the first jaw and movement of the third and fourth transverse protrusions of the upper transverse member of the clamping member through the elongated slot further causes:\n the sled to ride distal to the clamping member along the support channel, and the cam wedge to cooperate with at least one staple pusher of the staple cartridge assembly to eject at least one of the staples from the staple cartridge assembly.
