Abstract

A surgical instrument, such as a surgical fastener applying apparatus, includes a tool assembly, an endoscopic body portion, and an articulation mechanism. The articulation mechanism articulates the tool assembly in relation to the endoscopic body portion over large arc segments while providing simple operating components. Thus, the range of operation of the surgical instrument and the types of surgical activities that can be performed by the surgeon can be expanded without at the same time requiring complex operating components.
