摘要：
Systems and methods for separating an adjunct from a jaw of an end effector of a surgical stapling device are provided. The end effector, including first and second jaws configured to clamp tissue therebetween, include an adjunct material releasably retained on at least one of the jaws. The end effector also includes a firing bar configured to move between an unfired position at a proximal end of the end effector and a fired position at a distal end of the end effector. An adjunct removal assembly that can reside in the jaw is configured to couple to and move with the firing bar to separate the adjunct material from the surgical stapling device as the firing bar having the adjunct removal assembly coupled thereto is returned from the fired position to the unfired position.
