Abstract
The technology relates to a surgical system with an end effector. The end effector may include a drive beam, an anvil assembly, and a cartridge assembly movable in relation to the anvil assembly between an open position and a clamped position. The cartridge assembly includes a cartridge body, staples supported within the cartridge body, and an actuation sled assembly. The actuation sled assembly includes an actuation sled and a knife blade supported on the actuation sled for movement between a concealed position and a raised position. The actuation sled assembly is movable within the cartridge body in response to movement of the drive beam from the beam retracted position to the beam advanced position, from a sled retracted position to a sled advanced position to eject the staples from the cartridge body.
