1. A surgical instrument, comprising:

  • a handle assembly;

    at least one electromechanical device in operative communication with the handle assembly, the at least one electromechanical device adapted to connect to an energy source and configured to receive an actuation signal from the energy source when the handle assembly is actuated;

    an end effector assembly operably coupled to the at least one electromechanical device to enable the at least one electromechanical device to impart movement of the end effector assembly from a first configuration to a second configuration;

    at least one mechanical interface associated with the at least one electromechanical device; and

    at least one corresponding mechanical interface associated with the end effector assembly and operably engaged with the at least one mechanical interface associated with the at least one electromechanical device such that, upon actuation of the handle assembly, the at least one electromechanical device receives the actuation signal and is energized to impart movement of the end effector assembly from the first configuration to the second configuration.
