Surgical cutting and sealing instrument with reduced firing force

摘要: A surgical instrument is provided that can comprise and end effector including two jaws a cutting member configured to move between the jaws. In at least one embodiment, or both of may be flexible, such jaw flex when gripping tissue. Further, include thin cross-sectional area flexes Additionally, in more compression elements extend from cause close advanced. The roller and/or low-friction material. Moreover, precurved, away member's longitudinal axis. Accordingly, various embodiments, overall force required advance reduced.
