New patent application published for: SURGICAL DEVICE WITH THREE POSITION SAFETY TRIGGER ASSEMBLY

A powered surgical device includes a safety trigger assembly that is movable from a safe position to an intermediate position, and subsequently to a fire-ready position. The safety trigger assembly prevents firing of the surgical device unless the safety trigger assembly is in the fire-ready position and includes at least one safety button that extends through an outer housing of the surgical device and is accessible to a clinician to move the safety trigger assembly to the fire-ready position. The surgical device includes an outer housing that shields the at least one safety button when the safety trigger assembly is in the safe position to prevent inadvertent movement of the safety trigger assembly from the safe position to the fire-ready position.
