The endoscopic assembly (200, 400) is selectively connectable to and in mechanical communication with the handle assembly (100) and includes a shaft assembly (220). The shaft assembly (220) includes a pair of jaws (250) pivotably and fixedly supported in, and extending from a distal portion of the shaft assembly (220), a spindle assembly (440) supported within the endoscopic assembly (200, 400), and a lockout mechanism (594) fixedly supported on the pair of jaws (450). A distal end (440b) of the spindle (440) is operatively engaged with the pair of jaws (450) to effectuate an opening and a closing of the pair of jaws (450) upon an axial translation of the spindle (440). The lockout mechanism (594) is in selective engagement with the spindle (440) and includes a first position that enables distal advancement of the spindle (440) and a second position that inhibits distal advancement of the spindle (440).2/32 C14 C-!.C=
