A surgical instrument for laparoscopic and endoscopic clinical procedures simultaneously severs and staples tissue clamped in an end effector comprising an elongate channel, which holds a staple cartridge, and a pivotally attached anvil. An E-beam firing bar engages the channel and selectively engages the anvil during distal firing movements, wherein the tissue is severed and stapled driven upward from the staple cartridge to form against the anvil. In particular, a wedge integral to the staple cartridge is driven distally by a middle pin of the firing bar to effect stapling. A lockout mechanism of the staple cartridge responds to the presence of the wedge sled in its unfired position to allow the firing bar to fire. Otherwise, the lockout mechanism prevents firing when the staple cartridge is spent.
What is claimed is: 1. A staple cartridge for use in a surgical instrument having a pair of pivotally opposing upper and lower jaws, the lower jaw including a channel slot, and further having a firing device including a firing bar having a vertical cutting edge, the firing bar positioned for longit
What is claimed is: 1. A staple cartridge for use in a surgical instrument having a pair of pivotally opposing upper and lower jaws, the lower jaw including a channel slot, and further having a firing device including a firing bar having a vertical cutting edge, the firing bar positioned for longitudinal movement between the opposing jaws and including a lower portion passing through the channel slot, the lower portion including a leterally projecting middle pin and a laterally projecting lower pin that opposingly engage the channel slot, the staple cartridge comprising: a plurality of drivers supporting the plurality of staples; a wedge device; a cartridge body sized to engage the lower jaw of the surgical instrument, comprising a longitudinal wedge cavity that communicates transversely with a plurality of staple apertures, a proximally open vertical slot registered to receive the vertical cutting edge of the firing bar, a firing drive slot registered to receive the middle pin of the firing bar, the wedge cavity and vertical slot and firing drive slot all in communication and open proximally to receive the firing bar of the firing device; a plurality of staples positioned in the staple apertures; a plurality of drives supporting the staples sized to translate from the wedge cavity into the staple apertures; the wedge device proximally positioned in the wedge cavity; and a lockout device coupled with the cartridge body and movable between a lockout recess defined in the cartridge body and a proximal portion for the wedge cavity traversed by both the wedge device and the middle pin of the firing bar, the lockout device comprising a pair of movable bodies positioned offset laterally from the vertical slot and for engaging the middle pin of the firing device. 2. The staple cartridge of claim 1, wherein the lockout device includes a tip resiliently inserted into the wedge cavity having a ramped distal side and a blocking proximal side. 3. The staple cartridge of claim 2, wherein the cartridge body comprises a resilient material, the lockout device comprises a proximally projecting finger with a downwardly formed tip formed integrally with the cartridge body. 4. The staple cartridge of claim 2, wherein the lockout device comprises a movable member resiliently attached to the cartridge body. 5. A surgical instrument, comprising: a pair of pivotally opposing upper and lower jaws, the lower jaw including a channel slot; a firing bar positioned for longitudinal movement between the opposing jaws and including a lower portion passing through the channel slot, the lower portion including a laterally projecting middle pin and a laterally projecting lower pin that opposingly engage the channel slot; a handle portion operably configured to close the opposing jaws and to fire the firing bar; a staple device engageable in the opposing jaws comprising: an initially proximally positioned wedge device distally positioned by firing of the firing bar, and a lockout device registered to the laterally projecting middle pin, initially held up by the proximally positioned wedge device and resiliently positioned to block subsequent distal movement of the firing bar by abutting the middle pin in response to a distally positioned wedge device. 6. The surgical instrument of claim 5, wherein the staple device comprises: a body having a longitudinal wedge cavity that communicates transversely with a plurality of staple apertures, the wedge cavity open proximally to receive the firing device; a plurality of staples positioned in the staple apertures; a plurality of drives supporting the staples sized to translate from the wedge cavity into the staple apertures; the wedge device proximally positioned in the wedge cavity; and the lockout device coupled with the body and movable between a lockout recess defined in the body and a proximal portion for the wedge cavity traversed by the firing device. 7. The surgical instrument of claim 6, wherein the lockout device includes a tip resiliently inserted into the wedge cavity having a ramped distal side and a blocking proximal side. 8. The surgical instrument of claim 7, wherein the body comprises a resilient material, the lockout device comprises a proximally projecting finger with downwardly formed tip formed integrally with the body. 9. The surgical instrument of claim 7, wherein the lockout device comprises a movable member resiliently attached to the body. 10. The surgical instrument of claim 6, wherein the firing device comprises a firing bar having a vertical cutting edge, the body including a proximally opening vertical slot registered to receive the vertical cutting edge. 11. The surgical instrument of claim 10, wherein the firing bar includes a pin projecting transverse to the cutting edge for sliding engagement to the channel slot, the body of the staple device further comprising a firing drive slot registered to receive the pin, the lockout mechanism further comprising a pair of movable bodies positioned offset laterally from the vertical slot and for engaging the pin.
