Surgical stapling instrument with an articulatable end effector
TL;DR: In this paper, 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.
Patent
Endoscopic instrument having a torsionally stiff drive shaft for applying fasteners to tissue
TL;DR: In this paper, a rotational drive mechanism for an endoscopic surgical instrument which has a rotatable drive shaft and a mechanism for translating the rotational force of the shaft for applying fasteners to tissue during endoscopic surgery is presented.

TL;DR: In this article, an articulating surgical instrument is shown, which comprises a shaft and an end effector, with the shaft having a longitudinal axis and the end-effector is operationally coupled, preferably mechanically coupled, to the shaft at an articulation pivot.
Patent
Surgical instrument with guided laterally moving articulation member
TL;DR: In this article, a laterally sliding member in a proximal portion of a shaft that pivots the end effector to a selected side is used to provide guidance for endoscopic use.
Patent
Electroactive polymer-based actuation mechanism for linear surgical stapler
TL;DR: In this article, an electrically expandable and contractible actuator such as an electroactive polymer actuator is used to adjust the position of the stapling mechanism relative to the elongate shaft of a surgical stapler.
