Abstract
Surgical instruments with articulation joints that include a proximal joint member that has a proximal face that defines an arcuate proximal apex and a distal joint member that has a distal face that defines an arcuate distal apex. A first link and a second link are coupled to the proximal joint member and the distal joint member such that they cross each other and the arcuate distal apex confronts the arcuate proximal apex.
