ABSTRACT:
A surgical fastener applying apparatus having elongated cartridge and anvil half sections which are relatively movable from an unclamped to a clamped position. A safety member is supported in the cartridge section and movable between a non-blocking position and a blocking position to prevent relative movement of the cartridge and anvil support member to the clamped position after the fasteners have been fired. The safety member is biased inwardly by a tab retainer. Distal movement of the cam bars causes the tab retainer to be moved to a release position to allow movement of the safety tab to the blocking position.
