Abstract
A firing mechanism and a circular stapler are provided. The firing mechanism includes a staple pushing assembly, which includes an actuating rod provided with a stopping groove; a firing handle, wherein a pin post is provided in the firing handle, a first end of the pin post is capable of protruding from a first end of the firing handle and entering the stopping groove, to stop the firing handle from rotating relative to the actuating rod; and a pressing button capable of moving along a first direction to press the first end of the pin post to move towards a second end of the firing handle. Before the stapler reaches a ready-to-fire state, the pin post is inserted in the stopping groove of the actuating rod, to limit the rotation of the firing handle, therefore the operator cannot press the firing handle to fire the stapler.
