In this article, a surgical system includes a surgical instrument, an end-effector, a control circuit, and a sensor configured to transmit a sensor signal indicative of a closure parameter of the end effector.Abstract:
A surgical system includes a surgical instrument, an end effector, a control circuit, and a sensor configured to transmit a sensor signal indicative of a closure parameter of the end effector. The control circuit is configured to adjust a closure rate of change parameter and the closure threshold parameter based on perioperative information received from one or more data sources and a sensor signal received from the sensor.read more
