Tissue resecting instrument
Abstract:
A tissue-resecting end effector assembly includes an outer shaft having a hub housing disposed about a proximal end portion thereof, an inner shaft rotatably disposed within the outer shaft and having a distal driver disposed about a proximal end portion thereof, a proximal driver, a retainer cap, and an RFID chip. The proximal driver is slidably coupled to the distal driver in fixed rotational orientation. The retainer cap is fixedly engaged with the hub housing, thereby fixing the retainer cap relative to the hub housing and the outer shaft. The retainer cap is configured to selectively lock the proximal driver in fixed rotational orientation, thereby selectively locking the inner shaft relative to the outer shaft. The RFID chip is disposed within a pocket of the retainer cap that is closed upon engagement of the retainer cap with the hub housing, thereby retaining the RFID chip therein.
