Surgical instrument with multiple program responses during a firing motion
TL;DR: In this paper, a surgical instrument with an elongated channel configured to support a staple cartridge, an anvil pivotably connected to the channel, a knife mechanically coupled to the staple, an electric motor and a control circuit was configured to change a firing motion a first way based on a first value of a projected peak firing force and a second way according to a second value of the projected peak force value.
Patent
Surgical stapler having temperature-based motor control
TL;DR: In this article, a surgical stapler is configured to control a force applied to the drive system based on a temperature associated with the resistive heating element and sensed by the temperature sensing device.
Patent
Surgical stapler having force-based motor control
TL;DR: A surgical stapler as discussed by the authors includes a drive system, a handle assembly, an electric motor, a battery and a control system, which is configured to control the electric motor based on a force applied to the frame by the movable drive member.
Patent
Surgical stapler having motor control based on an electrical parameter related to a motor current
TL;DR: In this paper, a surgical stapler is configured to control a force applied to the drive system based on a current downstream of the electrically resistive element, which is used to measure the force of an electric motor to the electric motor.
Patent
Surgical stapler having downstream current-based motor control
TL;DR: A surgical stapler as discussed by the authors includes a drive system, an electric motor, a battery, and a control system, which can be configured to control a force applied to the drive system based on a current measured downstream of the electrically resistive element.

Method and apparatus for the minimally invasive harvesting of a saphenous vein and the like
TL;DR: A minimally invasive technique for harvesting saphenous veins and the like for use as autografts in coronary artery bypass grafting surgery include a microsurgical instrument adapted to be demountably secured to the distal end of an endoscope.
Patent
Endoscope with sheath retaining device
TL;DR: An endoscope for use with an elastomeric sheath for performing an endoscopic procedure is described in this paper, which includes a body, an insertion tube extending away from the body and terminating at a distal end portion.
Patent
Sheathed endoscope and sheath therefor
TL;DR: In this paper, a sheath for a sheathed endoscope is provided and is removably fitted over a flexible elongate insert part of the endoscope, the cover being made of a shapememory synthetic resin material that is restored to a previously memorized shape by heating it to a shape restoration temperature.
