Abstract
An apparatus that includes a body, an initiation device, an actuator, and a driver. The body has a cradle sized and configured to receive a linear surgical stapler operable to clamp and staple tissue with a plurality of staples. The actuator is in communication with the initiation device and the initiation device is coupled with the body. The driver is operatively coupled with the actuator and is configured to mechanically couple with a firing assembly of the linear surgical stapler. The initiation device is configured to be manipulated by a user to activate the actuator so that the actuator actuates the driver relative to the body, thereby driving the firing assembly distally to fire the linear surgical stapler.
