Motor-driven surgical instrument
TL;DR: In this paper, a surgical instrument system comprising an end effector, an elongate shaft, a motor-powered closure member, and a motor powered firing system was described. But the motor-power was not used to transmit the firing stroke.
Patent
Collapsible fastener cartridge
TL;DR: In this paper, a fastener can be inserted in a first jaw of a surgical fastening device, wherein the first jaw can be positioned opposite a second jaw, or anvil.
Patent
Stapling system comprising rotary inputs
TL;DR: In this paper, a stapling system consisting of a housing comprising a first rotary input and two rotary inputs, an elongate shaft, an end effector, a closure cam, and an opening member is described.

An electrosurgical instrument
TL;DR: In this article, an electrosurgical instrument for the treatment of tissue in the presence of an electrically-conductive fluid was disclosed, consisting of an instrument shaft (32), and a tissue treatment electrode (31) at one end of the shaft.
Patent
Surgical instrument and method
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe a surgical instrument useful for laparoscopic surgery comprising an insulated shaft, a control means and a connection to an electrosurgical radiofrequency power source, its distal end having a tissue-engaging ledge, and the shaft supporting a tissueengaging clamping or cutting member movable toward the ledge in response to the control means so that an artery or other tissue in the pocket of the J-hook can be clamped or cut while radiofrequency current is applied.
