Abstract:
A reposable surgical clip applier (10) includes a handle assembly (100) and an endoscopic assembly (200, 300, 400). The handle assembly (100) includes a housing (110) defining a body portion (111) and a fixed handle portion (112) extending from the body portion (111) and a trigger (122) pivotably connected to the housing (110) and movable relative to the fixed handle portion (112) between an un-actuated position and an actuated position. The endoscopic assembly (200, 300, 400) includes a proximal hub (210, 310, 410) configured to be selectively engageable with the housing (110) of the handle assembly (100), an elongated shaft (340) extending distally therefrom, an end effector (350) supported at a distal end of the elongated shaft (340), and an inner drive assembly (320) including a proximal portion (323) and a distal portion (325). The proximal portion (323) may advance within the distal portion (325) upon a blockage of the end effector assembly (350) to permit the trigger (122) to return to an un-actuated position.
