Surgical device
First Claim
1. A surgical device, comprising:
- a first jaw;
a second jaw mechanically coupled in opposed relation to the first jaw;
a cutting element disposed within and rotatable relative to the second jaw; and
a first driver configured to move the cutting element proximally from an initial position at a distal end of the second jaw toward a proximal end of the second jaw to cut tissue disposed between the first and second jaws.

Abstract
A surgical device includes a first jaw and a second jaw disposed in opposed correspondence with the first jaw. The second jaw is mechanically coupled to the first jaw at a proximal end opposite a distal end. A cutting element is disposed within the second jaw, and a first driver is configured to move the cutting element proximally from the distal end toward the proximal end of the second jaw to cut a section of tissue disposed between the first and second jaws. The device may also include a stapling element disposed within the second jaw. The cutting element and the stapling element may be contiguous so as to define a cutting and stapling element, such as a wedge having a blade disposed thereon. As the wedge is moved proximally from the distal end of the second jaw to the proximal end, the wedge pushes a plurality of staples against a plurality of opposing staple guides disposed in the first jaw in order to staple a section of tissue while cutting the section of tissue.
