English term

jaw

English to Spanish Other Engineering (general) jaw
1. Position the jaws of the instrument around the tissue at the point of transection.

2. Close the jaws of the instrument by fully squeezing the handle once and release the handle back to its original position.

3. Check to ensure that the pin is fully seated (as the pin aligns the cartridge and anvil).

4. Are you happy with the placement of the instrument? To fire the instrument, firmly squeeze the handle a second time (all the way back) until it stops, and release. After firing staples, the handle will stay in the locked position.

Encontré "mandíbula", pero no sé si corresponde en este contexto.

Muchas gracias,

Romina

mandíbula

I know that /mandíbula/ is used for the jaws of a wrench, for example, so if this instrument is analogous to a a wrench, I think you have it right.

See below.

Having seen another entry from you on the same subject, I found something that may help a lot. Look here: http://www.scribd.com/doc/215247837/Sutura-mecanica#scribd.
A sample sentence from page 3: El botón ubicado en el mango del aparato permite la apertura de las mandíbulas que se cierran sobre el teji-do al accionar la palanca móvil del mango; un segundomovimiento de esta palanca produce el "disparo" de los agrafes.

Example sentence:

La mandíbula superior es fija, mientras que la mandíbula inferior se puede mover hacia arriba o hacia abajo con un tornillo enroscado en el mango.
