摘要:
A surgical instrument including a switching mechanism which allows a surgeon to selectively advance or retract a staple driver, cutting member, and/or other movable member within a staple cartridge. In various embodiments, the surgical instrument can include a handle, a trigger operatively coupled to the handle, a firing drive, and an end effector. In at least one embodiment, the trigger can be configured to slide between a first position in which an operation of the trigger can advance the movable member at a first rate and a second position in which an operation of the trigger can retract the movable member at a second rate.
