At Sport19; I agree with you 100%. There are only 2 end effectors that I know of in the entire market. There are not 100 ways to patent this support design. Either screw or click. Microline (disposable or re-usable) has a double threaded support. One that screws onto the push/pull rod, to activate the distal link mechanism (open/close) and the other that supports the end effector main body.
Access Surgical which makes a twist & click (re-usable), was once popular about 10+ years ago, but the majority of the ones used today are the fixed end effector, or conplete instrument. https://www.symmetrysurgical.com/en/product/specialty-laparoscopy/12-5383
