摘要:
A surgical clip applier includes a drive housing, an elongate shaft that extends distally from the drive housing, an end effector arranged at a distal end of the elongate shaft and including first and second jaw members, and an articulation joint interposing the end effector and the elongate shaft. The articulation joint includes a flexible shaft length articulable in a plane of motion and having a first end and a second end, a lumen defined within the flexible shaft length and extending between the first and second ends, and a clip track provided within the lumen and extending at least partially between the first and second ends to guide surgical clips through the articulation joint.
