Adapter load button lockout

A surgical device, comprising:

• a jaw assembly comprising a first jaw and a second jaw moveable relative to the first jaw;
• and
• an elongated body removably coupled to a proximal end of the jaw assembly, the elongated body comprising:
• an actuation bar, wherein engagement of the jaw assembly to the elongated body moves the actuation bar thereby securing the elongate body to the jaw assembly;
• a release button coupled to the actuation bar, wherein movement of the actuation bar due to the engagement of the jaw assembly with the elongate body moves the release button;
• and
• a lockout button movable from a home position to a release position, wherein in the home position the lockout button engages the release button being moved by the actuation bar to prevent actuation thereof and in the release position the lockout button unlocks the release button such that the release button is actuatable to move the actuation bar to allow for removal of the jaw assembly from the elongated body.

A surgical device adapter for coupling a jaw assembly comprising a first jaw and a second jaw moveable relative to the first jaw to a handle assembly, the adapter comprising:

• an elongated body removably coupled to a proximal end of the jaw assembly at a distal end thereof and to the handle assembly at a proximal end thereof;
• an actuation bar, wherein engagement of the jaw assembly to the elongated body moves the actuation bar thereby securing the elongate body to the jaw assembly;
• a release button coupled to the actuation bar, wherein movement of the actuation bar due to the engagement of the jaw assembly with the elongate body moves the release button;
• and
• a spring-loaded lockout button movable from a home position to a release position, wherein in the home position the lockout button engages the release button being moved proximally by the actuation bar to prevent actuation thereof and in the release position the lockout button unlocks the release button such that the release button is actuatable to move the actuation bar to allow for removal of the jaw assembly from the elongated body.
