A surgical instrument including a handle portion, a body portion, a movable handle, a tool assembly, a drive beam and a closure apparatus is disclosed. At least one of the closure apparatus and a contact surface of the tool assembly include a plastic surface. The body portion extends distally from the handle portion. The movable handle is located on the handle portion and is in mechanical cooperation with a drive member. The tool assembly includes an anvil, a cartridge assembly and a contact surface. The drive beam includes a proximal engagement portion and is configured to engage a portion of the drive member. The closure apparatus is configured to engage the contact surface of the tool assembly. At least a partial actuation of the movable handle moves the closure apparatus distally into engagement with the contact surface to approximate the anvil and the cartridge assembly.
1. A method of manufacturing a closure member for a surgical instrument, the method comprising the following steps: providing a closure member including an upper flange portion, a lower flange portion and a vertical beam portion interconnecting the upper flange portion and the lower flange portion,
1. A method of manufacturing a closure member for a surgical instrument, the method comprising the following steps: providing a closure member including an upper flange portion, a lower flange portion and a vertical beam portion interconnecting the upper flange portion and the lower flange portion, the upper and lower flange portions having an internal surface and an external surface;drilling a hole through at least one of the upper and lower flange portions, the hole extending from the external surface to the internal surface of the at least one upper and lower flange portion; andinjecting a material having a low coefficient of friction through the hole using an injection molding process to cover at least a portion of the internal surface of the at least one upper and lower flange portion. 2. The method according to claim 1, wherein the at least one upper and lower flange portion includes both the upper and lower flange portions. 3. The method according to claim 1, wherein the step of injecting a material includes substantially covering the internal surface of the at least one upper and lower flange portion. 4. The method according to claim 1, wherein the material having the low coefficient of friction is a plastic material. 5. The method according to claim 1, wherein the step of providing a closure member includes providing a recess in the internal surface of the at least one upper and lower flange portion. 6. The method according to claim 5, wherein the step of injecting includes injecting a material into the recess. 7. The method according to claim 6, wherein the step of injecting a material into the recess includes injecting a material into the recess such that the material extends inwardly of the internal surface. 8. The method according to claim 7, further including the step of machining the material after the step of injecting.
