Original Abstract Submitted
A stapler reload assembly includes a cartridge body. The cartridge body comprises a plurality of staple apertures configured to eject staples housed in the cartridge body and a staple retainer removably coupled to the cartridge body. The staple retainer comprises a main body portion configured to at least partially cover the plurality of staple apertures in a position of the staple retainer coupled to the cartridge body, a first handling portion extending from the main body portion at a distal end portion of the staple retainer, and a second handling portion proximal the first handling portion and coupled to the main body portion by a flexure. The second handling portion is elastically deflectable about the flexure and relative to the main body portion of the staple retainer from a neutral, first position to a deflected second position. Devices and methods relate to stapler reload assemblies.
