Abstract: An end effector assembly of a surgical instrument includes a clevis defining a longitudinal axis and including first and second arms spaced-apart relative to one another and first and second jaw members supported by the clevis. At least one of the jaw members is movable relative to the other and the clevis between a spaced-apart position and an approximated position for grasping tissue between the jaw members. The clevis includes first and second locating features on outwardly-facings sides of the first and second spaced-apart arms, respectively. The first and second locating features are configured to facilitate engagement and alignment of the end effector assembly within a test fixture.
