Abstract
An apparatus includes a first jaw () and a second jaw () that cooperate to clamp and staple tissue (). The second jaw includes a jaw body () and a distal tip () pivotable relative to the jaw body between a first discrete and a second discrete position. First and second openings () are both defined by one of the distal tip or a structure () located proximal to the distal tip. A projection () is defined by the other of the distal tip or the structure. The projection is positionable within the first opening () to releasably retain the distal tip in the first discrete position, and within the second opening () to releasably retain the distal tip in the second discrete position.
