Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a hub assembly for use with an endoscopic assembly of a reposable surgical clip applier having an outer housing defining a channel therethrough, a driver gear slidably disposed within the channel, and a display gear slidably and rotatably disposed within the channel and including first and second plurality of teeth. Distal advancement of the driver gear causes the display gear to advance in a distal direction such that the second plurality of teeth engage a portion of the driver gear and causes the display gear to rotate in a first direction. Retraction of driver gear causes the display gear to translate in a proximal direction such that the first plurality of teeth engage a portion of the channel and causes the drive gear to further rotate in the first direction.
