Abstract

An end effector for an endoscopic surgical instrument having a longitudinal body with proximal and distal ends and an actuator at the proximal end of the body includes a clevis to be connected to the distal end of the body and two jaws. Each of the jaws has a tang portion (240) pivotally connected to the clevis and to be connected to the actuator for pivoting the jaw. The jaw has body portion (221, 223) with a lateral side (223) having substantially straight opposing edges and a proximal portion (227) connecting the lateral side to the tang portion and a nose portion (225, 229) connected to the lateral side and having substantially linear edges at an angle to the edges of the lateral side. The hollow body and nose portions define a biopsy cup for receiving a tissue sample therein and the opposing and linear edges form a pinching surface for contacting extremities of the tissue sample.
