Patent
Ultrasonic device for cutting and coagulating with stepped output
James R. Giordano,Robert J. Beetel,Eitan T. Wiener,Jeffrey D. Messerly,Brian F Dinardo,Daniel J. Abbott +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, a generator coupled to an ultrasonic transducer is used to generate a first ultrasonic drive signal for a first period, followed by a second drive signal subsequent to the first period.
Patent
Blades with functional balance asymmetries for use with ultrasonic surgical instruments
TL;DR: In this article, an ultrasonic surgical instrument that combines end-effector geometry to best affect the multiple functions of a shears-type configuration is described, where the shape of the blade is characterized by a radiused cut offset by some distance to form a curved geometry.
Patent
Devices and techniques for cutting and coagulating tissue
Jeffrey D. Messerly,Eitan T. Wiener,Brian T. Noyes,Jeffrey L. Aldridge,James R. Giordano,Robert J. Beetel,Daniel J. Abbott,Foster B. Stulen,Matthew C. Miller,Nathan J. Price,Daniel W. Price +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a method of driving an end effector coupled to an ultrasonic drive system of a surgical instrument using at least one electrical signal, which is monitored against a first set of logic conditions.
Patent
Flexible harmonic waveguides/blades for surgical instruments
TL;DR: In this article, an articulable harmonic waveguide is used to connect an ultrasonic transducer to an articulation actuator to flex the first flexible waveguide and an end effector extends distally from the first waveguide.
Patent
Surgical instrument with orientation sensing
