Newness and distinctiveness is claimed in the features of ornamentation as shown inside the broken line circle in the accompanying representation.

Display screen or portion thereof with graphical user interface

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 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 motor-driven surgical cutting and fastening instrument that comprises an end effector, an electric motor, and a motor control circuit. The motor control circuit is for monitoring a parameter of the electric motor that is indicative of movement of a moveable member of the end effector, and for adjustably controlling the electric motor based on the monitored parameter to thereby adjustably control movement of the moveable member of the end effector during forward rotation of the electric motor.

Motor-driven surgical cutting instrument

In one general aspect, various embodiments of the present invention can include a motorized surgical cutting and fastening instrument having a drive shaft, a motor selectively engageable with the drive shaft, and a manual return mechanism configured to operably disengage the motor from the drive shaft and retract the drive shaft. In at least one embodiment, a surgeon, or other operator of the surgical instrument, can utilize the manual return mechanism to retract the drive shaft after it has been advanced, especially when the motor, or a power source supplying the motor, has failed or is otherwise unable to provide a force sufficient to retract the drive shaft.

Powered surgical cutting and stapling apparatus with manually retractable firing system

A surgical apparatus includes a surgical device, configured to be manipulated by a user to perform a procedure on a patient, and a computer system. The computer system is programmed to implement control parameters for controlling the surgical device to provide at least one of haptic guidance to the user and a limit on user manipulation of the surgical device, based on a relationship between an anatomy of the patient and at least one of a position, an orientation, a velocity, and an acceleration of a portion of the surgical device, and to adjust the control parameters in response to movement of the anatomy during the procedure.

Haptic guidance system and method

A computer-assisted knee replacement apparatus and method comprises a knee replacement application for assisting, guiding, and planning a unicondylar knee replacement procedure. The apparatus and method cooperates with a tracking system to determine implant sizing and location. The apparatus and method also cooperates with the tracking system to determine required tibial and femoral preparation corresponding to the implant size and location and provides real-time monitoring of the tibial and femoral surface preparation procedures.

Computer-assisted knee replacement apparatus and method

A computer-assisted external fixation apparatus and method comprises an external fixation application for assisting, guiding, and planning an external fixation procedure. The external fixation application cooperates with a tracking system to acquire kinematic data corresponding to a selected joint during manipulation of the selected joint and/or acquire image data of patient anatomy and determine a kinematic parameter for the selected joint using the kinematic and/or image data, such as an axis of rotation or plane of movement. The external fixation application may then be used with the tracking system to provide real-time alignment information for alignment of an external fixator based on the information associated with the determined kinematic parameter.

Computer-assisted external fixation apparatus and method

Haptic guidance system

A computer assisted knee replacement apparatus and method comprises a total knee replacement application for assisting, guiding, and planning a total knee replacement procedure (40, 12, 22, 28, 18 and 16). The apparatus and method cooperates with a tracking system to determine implant sizing and location. The apparatus and method also cooperates with the tracking system to determine implant size and location. The apparatus and method also cooperates with the tracking system to determine required tibial and femoral preparation corresponding to the implant size and location and provides real-time monitoring of the tibial and femoral surface preparation procedures.
