Adapter for powered surgical devices
First Claim
1. An adapter assembly for selectively interconnecting a surgical end effector and a powered actuator device, the adapter assembly comprising:
- a first drive converter assembly configured to convert a rotation of a first drive shaft of the powered actuator device into an axial translation of a first drive member of the surgical end effector; and
a second drive converter assembly configured to convert a rotation of a second drive shaft of the powered actuator device into an axial translation of a second drive member of the surgical end effector, the first drive converter assembly being at least partially disposed within the second drive converter assembly, wherein the first drive converter assembly and the second drive converter assembly are configured to rotate and translate independent of each other.

Abstract
An adapter assembly for selectively interconnecting a surgical end effector including at least one axially translatable drive member and a powered actuator device including at least one rotatable drive shaft is provided. The adapter assembly includes an actuation shaft configured to convert rotation of a first drive shaft of the powered actuator device into an axial translation of a first drive member of the surgical end effector. The adapter assembly further includes an elongate tube configured to convert rotation of a second drive shaft of the powered actuator device into an axial translation of a second drive member of the surgical end effector. The actuation shaft is disposed within the elongate tube, and the actuation shaft and the elongate tube translate axially independent of each other.
