摘要：
Disclosed is a disposable surgical stapling unit configured for use with an actuation device that has an elongated shaft assembly. The disposable surgical stapling unit may include a housing assembly and a staple cartridge carrier configured to operably support a staple cartridge, and a drive member operably supported within the staple cartridge carrier. The drive member may comprise a cutting edge to cut tissue and a proximal end configured for operable engagement with a control member operably supported within the elongated shaft assembly. The disposable surgical stapling unit may further include articulation joints operably supported between the housing assembly and the staple cartridge carrier for selectively articulating the staple cartridge carrier about multiple articulation axes.
