OG exemplary drawing
 
1. A kit, the kit comprising:
(a) a body assembly, wherein the body assembly comprises:
a rotary drive output,
(ii) a linear drive output, and
(iii) a control module configured to shift between operative engagement with the rotary drive output or the linear drive output;
(b) a first shaft assembly, wherein the first shaft assembly comprises:
(i) a distal end, wherein the distal end of the first shaft assembly includes a first type of end effector configured to operate on tissue, and
(ii) a proximal end, wherein the proximal end of the first shaft assembly is configured to removably couple with the body assembly, wherein the proximal end of the first shaft assembly comprises a rotary drive input configured to be driven by the rotary drive output while coupled with the body assembly, wherein the first shaft assembly is configured to actuate the first type of end effector in response to movement of the rotary drive input; and
(c) a second shaft assembly, wherein the second shaft assembly comprises:
(i) a distal end, wherein the distal end of the second shaft assembly includes a second type of end effector configured to operate on tissue, and
(ii) a proximal end, wherein the proximal end of the second shaft assembly is configured to removably couple with the body assembly, wherein the proximal end of the second shaft assembly comprises a linear drive input configured to be driven by the linear drive output while coupled with the body assembly, wherein the second shaft assembly is configured to actuate the second type of end effector in response to movement of the linear drive input;
wherein the control module is configured to operatively engage and selectively actuate the rotary drive output or the linear drive output based on whether the first or second shaft assembly, respectively, is coupled with the body.
