TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe a surgical device with a proximal handle portion that includes a motor, a distal end effector coupled to the handle portion, and a cutting element, where the motor is configured to supply power that moves the cutting element.
Patent
Instrument for debriding fistula and applying therapeutic cells
TL;DR: In this paper, a treatment instrument consisting of an end effector and a plunger is configured to rotate within the end-effector, and a cutting member is operable to mince tissue specimens captured by the cutting features.
Patent
Ultrasonic surgical instrument clamp arm with proximal nodal pad
TL;DR: In this paper, an ultrasonic surgical instrument for cutting a tissue of a patient includes an end effector projecting from a shaft assembly, which has an acoustic waveguide configured to acoustically couple with a transducer.
Patent
Surgical instrument with ultrasonic transducer having integral switches
TL;DR: An ultrasonic surgical device comprises a handle assembly, a shaft assembly, and a removable transducer module as mentioned in this paper, which is capable of providing ultrasonic energy to the harmonic blade.
