Norwegian term or phrase: tuppen
Part of a surgical stapler.
From a document reviewing different surgical devices.

I am not sure whether it refers to the anvil or to the tip.

Context:
Det er vurdert som positivt at det er noe kortere tupp og at vinkelen ikke bygger så mye. Da hele tuppen byttes for nytt magasin medfører dette også at man får ny kniv for hver avfyring.
