摘要:
A fastener cartridge for use with a surgical instrument. The cartridge may include a cartridge body that has a series of staple pockets therein. A driver is movably supported in each staple pocket and is configured to operably support at least one surgical staple thereon. In one arrangement at least some of the drivers may be formed with one or more laterally extending features that are configured to be received in correspondingly shaped grooves in the cartridge body to provide lateral support to the driver as it is operably moved within the staple pocket. In other arrangements at least one inwardly extending features is formed in the inner wall surface of the pocket and is configured to be movably supported within correspondingly shaped groove in the driver.
