ABSTRACT:
The present invention is embodied in a surgical apparatus that can be used in laparoscopic surgical procedures. In particular, the apparatus includes a universal actuating handle for use with different end effectors and that can convert a single handle motion into two separate and independent actuator motions required for actuating two separate actuating members. The handle also includes a collar that facilitates the connection and disconnection of the end effector to and from the handle in a single translational snap-on or snap-off motion. The handle also has a ratchet and pawl mechanism to provide improved control over actuation.
