abstract a layer such as, for example, a tissue thickness compensator for an end effector of a surgical instrument can comprise compressible and non-compressible portions. the tissue thickness compensator can be positioned in the end effector such as adjacent to a deck surface of a fastener cartridge that is positioned in the end effector. the tissue thickness compensator can be maintained in a compressed state and can be released from the compressed state by a cutting member of the end effector. "staple cartridge comprising a compressible portion". A layer such as a tissue thickness compensator (80020) for an end actuator (80005) of a surgical instrument (10) may comprise compressible (80022) and non-compressible (80024, 80025) portions. the tissue thickness compensator may be positioned on the end actuator, for example, adjacent to a platform surface (80011) of a fastener cartridge (80000) that is positioned on the end actuator. the tissue thickness compensator may be held in a compressed state and may be released from the compressed state by an end actuator cutting member (80080).abstract a layer such as, for example, a tissue thickness compensator for an end effector of a surgical instrument can comprise compressible and non-compressible portions. the tissue thickness compensator can be positioned in the end effector such as adjacent to a deck surface of a fastener cartridge that is positioned in the end effector. the tissue thickness compensator can be maintained in a compressed state and can be released from the compressed state by a cutting member of the end effector. tradução do resumo resumo patente de invenção "cartucho de grampo que compreende uma porção compressível". uma camada como, por exemplo, um compensador de espessura de tecido (80020) para um atuador de extremidade (80005) de um instrumento cirúrgico (10), pode compreender porções compressíveis (80022) e não compressíveis (80024, 80025). o compensador de espessura de tecido pode ser posicionado n
