The surgical instrument (10) also includes a grasper (100) disposed at a distal end of the body portion (12), the grasper (100) including an ultraviolet (UV) light mechanism (90) for performing UV tacking of an implant. The implant is positioned between the first and second jaw members (110, 120) of the grasper (100): (i) to be placed at a surgical site and (ii) to be exposed by a UV light emitted from the UV light mechanism (90) such that the UV tacking of the implant to the surgical site is performed. 61487571 :LKM1/6 12 1 80 ig2 Fig,lIA
