摘要:
An electrosurgical instrument including a housing assembly having a first disposable treatment portion selectively attached thereto. The disposable treatment portion is adapted to connect to an electrosurgical generator that supplies energy to the electrosurgical instrument. A control circuit is included and disposed in electrical communication between the electrosurgical generator and the first disposable treatment portion. The control circuit is selectively actuatable to enable the flow of electrosurgical energy from the electrosurgical generator to the first disposable treatment portion. An indicator, coupled to the housing assembly or the first disposable treatment portion, is configured to indicate a parameter related to the use of the electrosurgical instrument. The control circuit is configured to prevent activation of the electrosurgical instrument when the parameter of the indicator indicates the useful life of the disposable treatment portion has expired.

摘要:
A surgical stapling apparatus (10) comprising a housing, handle (24), elongated body (14), advancement assembly, and retraction mechanism (58) is provided. The movable handle is supported by the hosing, the movable handle being movable through an actuation stroke. The elongated body extends distally from the housing and defines a longitudinal axis, the elongated body having a distal end adapted to releasably engage a disposable loading unit. The advancement assembly includes an actuation shaft (46) and a driving pawl (42), the actuation shaft having a toothed rack (48) and being supported at least in part within the housing, the driving pawl being operatively associated with the movable handle and biased into engagement with the rack, wherein during the actuation stroke, the driving pawl is movable to effect longitudinal advancement of the actuation shaft. The retraction mechanism includes a release plate (64) operatively associated with the actuation shaft, the release plate being movable relative to the actuation shaft into operative engagement with the driving pawl to disengage the driving pawl from the rack.

摘要:
An end effector is disclosed. The end effector comprises a first jaw member comprising a magnetic sensor; a second jaw member pivotally coupled to the first jaw member such that the first jaw member is pivotally moveable between an open position and a closed position, wherein the second jaw member is configured to receive a staple cartridge therein; a staple cartridge removably coupled to the second jaw member, the staple cartridge further comprising an upper surface facing the first jaw member; and a magnet positioned to be in an opposing relationship to the magnetic sensor when the first jaw member is in the closed position. The magnetic sensor is operable to detect the magnetic field of the magnet, and wherein the detected magnetic field is indicative of the distance between the anvil and the staple cartridge.
