ABSTRACT:
A yoke suitable for connecting an end effector to a manipulator shaft therefor in a surgical instrument. The yoke includes an elongated hollow stem which defines a central passageway for the manipulator shaft and a plurality of barbed flexible leaves unitary with the stem. Each of the leaves terminates in a sphenoid barb portion. Adjacent barb portions define a substantially v-shaped slot therebetween which facilitates the compression and flexing of the leaves during the connection of the manipulator shaft to the surgical instrument.
