TL;DR: A control circuit of a surgical device is described in this paper, which includes a first circuit portion coupled to at least one switch operable between an open state and a closed state.

TL;DR: A tissue thickness compensator may generally comprise a biocompatible material, a first component, and a second component, wherein the first component and second component form a reaction product to expand the tissue thickness compensation as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this paper, a tissue thickness compensator can also comprise generation means for generating the ingrowth of tissue into the channels in the extracellular matrix, where the bioapsorption of the bioabsorbable material is configured to leave behind channels.

TL;DR: A tissue thickness compensator can include at least one medicament tube, capsule, and/or packet contained therein this paper, and it can also include a plurality of layers, such as polyethylene or polypropylene.

TL;DR: A tissue thickness compensator comprising at least one woven lattice can be positioned in the end effector of a surgical instrument as mentioned in this paper, which can be moveable between an initial position and a fired position.
