A surgical instrument can comprise a channel configured to support a staple cartridge and, in addition, an anvil pivotable between open and closed positions relative to the channel. The surgical instrument can further comprise a cutting member configured to incise tissue positioned captured between the staple cartridge and the anvil and, in addition, means for stopping the cutting member prior to a distal end datum, wherein the distal end datum can be defined by the distal-most staple cavity in the staple cartridge. In such embodiments, the incision within the tissue may not extend beyond the portion of the tissue that has been stapled.

Surgical stapling instrument with an articulatable end effector

A surgical severing and stapling instrument, suitable for laparoscopic and endoscopic clinical procedures, clamps tissue within an end effector of an elongate channel pivotally opposed by an anvil. An E-beam firing bar moves distally through the clamped end effector to sever tissue and to drive staples on each side of the cut. The E-beam firing bar affirmatively spaces the anvil from the elongate channel to assure properly formed closed staples, especially when an amount of tissue is clamped that is inadequate to space the end effector. In particular, an upper pin of the firing bar longitudinally moves through an anvil slot and a channel slot is captured between a lower cap and a middle pin of the firing bar to assure a minimum spacing. Forming the E-beam from a thickened distal portion and a thinned proximal strip enhances manufacturability and facilitates use in such articulating surgical instruments.

A surgical instrument including a handle assembly, a first endoscopic portion, a motor, and a first end effector is disclosed. The first endoscopic portion is selectively connectable to a distal portion of the handle assembly and defines a longitudinal axis. The first endoscopic portion includes a housing adjacent its proximal portion and includes an actuation member. The motor is disposed in mechanical cooperation with the housing of the first endoscopic portion and is operatively connected to the actuation member for moving the actuation member substantially along the longitudinal axis. The first end effector is selectively connectable to a distal portion of the first endoscopic portion and is configured to perform a first stapling function.

Powered surgical instrument

A surgical cutting and fastening instrument is disclosed. According to various embodiments, the instrument includes an end effector comprising an elongate channel, a clamping member pivotably connected to the channel, and a moveable cutting instrument for traversing the channel to cut an object clamped in the end effector by the clamping member when the clamping member is in a clamped position. The instrument may also comprise a main drive shaft assembly for actuating the cutting instrument in the end effector, a gear drive train connected to the main drive shaft assembly, and a motor for actuating the gear drive train. The instrument may also includes a closure trigger and a firing trigger, separate from the closure trigger, for actuating the motor when the firing trigger is retracted. Also, the instrument may comprise a mechanical closure system connected to the closure trigger and to the clamping member for causing the clamping member to pivot to the clamped position when the closure trigger is retracted.

Motor-driven surgical cutting and fastening instrument with tactile position feedback

An apparatus and method for controlling driving of a linear motor, which is configured to increase efficiency of a linear compressor and stably drive the linear motor when the linear motor is overloaded. The apparatus includes a detector that detects a current applied to a motor, a controller that outputs a control signal based on the detected current and a switch that varies the number of windings of the linear motor coil on the basis of the control signal.

본 연구는 웰다잉에 대한 노인의 심리적 안녕감을 높이기 위해 웰다잉 인식과 죽음에 대한 태도를 하위요인별로 분석하여 웰다잉에 대한 노인의 심리적 안녕감에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 대구광역시에 거주하는 65세 이상 노인을 대상으로 230부를 실시하였으나 사용하지 못하는 30부를 제외한 200부를 대상으로 분석하였다. 조사는 2021년 11월 1일부터 31일까지 한 달간 조사자 2~3명의 도움을 받아 실시하였다. 연구 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 조사 대상자의 웰다잉 인식과 죽음에 대한 태도가 노인의 심리적 안녕감에 미치는 영향은 전반적으로 높은 것으로 보인다. 이는 노인들이 웰다잉에 대한 인식을 높이기 위해 적극적으로 활동하고 있으며, 죽음에 대한 태도가 높을수록 노인의 심리적 안녕감이 높다고 할 수 있다. 둘째, 노인의 심리적 안녕감에 영향을 미치는 변수인 웰다잉 인식의 하위변인인 임상 증상, 친밀감, 통제감이 높을수록 심리적 안녕감이 높다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 셋째, 죽음에 대한 태도에서는 하위변인 죽음 불안, 죽음 수용, 죽음 준비도가 높을수록 노인의 심리적 안녕감이 높은 것으로 확인되었다. 이러한 결과는 노인의 심리적 안녕감에 웰다잉 인식과 죽음에 대한 태도가 중요한 요인으로 규명되었으며, 이를 바탕으로 현대사회 최대의 관심사인 웰다잉에 대한 노인의 심리적 안녕감을 높이는 데에 기초자료로 제공한다.
