Abstract
A surgical stapling device includes a reload assembly that includes a dual-detent system to retain a knife carrier of the reload assembly in a retracted position after the stapling device is fired. The dual detent system includes auxiliary and primary detents to improve the retention force of the knife carrier to minimize the likelihood of inadvertent readvancement of the knife carrier and annular knife.
