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 severing and stapling instrument, suitable for laparoscopic and endoscopic clinical procedures, clamps tissue within an end effector of an elongate channel pivotally opposed by an anvil. An E-beam firing bar moves distally through the clamped end effector to sever tissue and to drive staples on each side of the cut. The E-beam firing bar affirmatively spaces the anvil from the elongate channel to assure properly formed closed staples, especially when an amount of tissue is clamped that is inadequate to space the end effector. In particular, an upper pin of the firing bar longitudinally moves through an anvil slot and a channel slot is captured between a lower cap and a middle pin of the firing bar to assure a minimum spacing. Forming the E-beam from a thickened distal portion and a thinned proximal strip enhances manufacturability and facilitates use in such articulating surgical instruments.

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 surgical cutting and fastening instrument is disclosed. According to various embodiments, the instrument includes an end effector comprising an elongate channel, a clamping member pivotably connected to the channel, and a moveable cutting instrument for traversing the channel to cut an object clamped in the end effector by the clamping member when the clamping member is in a clamped position. The instrument may also comprise a main drive shaft assembly for actuating the cutting instrument in the end effector, a gear drive train connected to the main drive shaft assembly, and a motor for actuating the gear drive train. The instrument may also includes a closure trigger and a firing trigger, separate from the closure trigger, for actuating the motor when the firing trigger is retracted. Also, the instrument may comprise a mechanical closure system connected to the closure trigger and to the clamping member for causing the clamping member to pivot to the clamped position when the closure trigger is retracted.

Motor-driven surgical cutting and fastening instrument with tactile position feedback

An ultrasonic treatment device (21) comprises an ultrasonic vibrator (28) which generates ultrasonic vibration, a vibration transmission section (29) which transmits the ultrasonic vibration generated by the ultrasonic vibrator (28), a treatment section (32) which is formed at the front end of the vibration transmission section (29) and transmits to living organism's tissue the ultrasonic vibration transmitted from the vibration transmission section (29), a grip member (33) which is provided so that the grip member (33) can be opened and closed relative to the treatment section (32), and a pad member (49) which is provided to the grip member (33) at a position facing the treatment section (32) and which makes contact with the treatment section (32) when the grip member (33) is in a closed state. The front end of the pad member (49) has a protrusion section (60) which, on the side thereof which faces the treatment section (32), protrudes toward the treatment section (32).

Ultrasonic treatment device

An ultrasonic surgical instrument includes an ultrasonic vibrator, a vibration transmission section, a grip member, a pad member provided at a position of the grip member which faces the treatment section, and a planar facing surface disposed on the pad member A distal end portion of the treatment section faces the pad member, and is curved from a proximal end portion side of the treatment section toward the distal end portion side of the treatment section in a direction away from the facing surface The pad member includes a protruding portion which is disposed on the facing surface, protrudes from the facing surface toward the distal end portion of the treatment section, and abuts on the distal end portion of the treatment section while the grip member is closed

Ultrasonic surgical instrument

A treatment device includes a probe having a treatment portion to treat a biological tissue by using the ultrasonic vibration generated in an ultrasonic transducer; an action portion being able to be close to and away from the treatment portion and including a pressing portion that presses the biological tissue to the treatment portion; and a vibration damping portion disposed in a part of the pressing portion in a state of facing the treatment portion, moving following the treatment portion to which the ultrasonic vibration is transmitted when abutting on the treatment portion in a state where the ultrasonic vibration is transmitted to the treatment portion, and prevented from being grinded by the treatment portion to which the ultrasonic vibration is transmitted.
