A surgical instrument assembly can comprise a handle including an electric motor, a shaft assembly including a drive member, and a magnet configured to generate a magnetic field The surgical instrument assembly further comprises, one, a rotatable output shaft operably coupled with the electric motor and the drive member and, two, a wire coil wound around the output shaft which is positioned in the magnetic field The wire coil is rotated within the magnetic field when the output shaft is rotated about a longitudinal axis which induces a current in the wire coil The surgical instrument assembly further comprises a strain gauge mounted to the output shaft configured to detect strain created within the output shaft and, in addition, a circuit mounted to the output shaft, wherein the circuit and/or the strain gauge is powered by the current induced in the wire coil

Signal and power communication system positioned on a rotatable shaft

A surgical instrument system can include an end effector and a staple cartridge which is removably insertable into the end effector The staple cartridge includes a sled movable from an unfired position to a fired position to eject staples removably stored in the staple cartridge In various instances, the sled can be inadvertently advanced from its unfired position when the staple cartridge is positioned in the end effector, for example The surgical instrument system further comprises one or more sensors configured to detect whether the sled is in its unfired position and/or whether the staple cartridge has been mis-inserted into the end effector The one or more sensors can also determine whether the staple cartridge has been fully seated in the cartridge channel

System for detecting the mis-insertion of a staple cartridge into a surgical stapler

A mechanism is disclosed for adapting operations of a surgical instrument based on data from actual, expected or predicted properties of tissue, data from measuring operation of the surgical instrument itself, and data based on clinician conduct The adaptive measures can be based on predetermined control measures such as algorithms stored in operative communication with the surgical instrument, based on dynamically generated control measures, or a combination of both Utilizing such mechanisms can help to adjust closure and firing algorithms based on tissue properties, improve battery usage, and learn from user operations, enhancing functioning of the instrument within an operational envelope

Adaptive tissue compression techniques to adjust closure rates for multiple tissue types

A surgical instrument that comprises an elongate shaft assembly that defines a shaft axis. A surgical end effector is pivotallv coupled to the elongate shaft assembly such that the surgical end effector is selectively movable between an unarticulated position and a fully articulated position relative to the shaft axis. A firing beam is movably supported within a pathway in the elongate shaft assembly for selective longitudinal travel therein. The pathway is configured to position a portion of the firing beam exiting the distal end of the elongate shaft member to an off axis position relative to the shaft axis.
