摘要： A surgical instrument can comprise a first jaw, a second jaw comprising a fastener cartridge, and a closing system. The closing system can comprise a closure member configured to engage the first jaw and move the first jaw toward the second jaw. A pivot can pivotably couple the first jaw to the second jaw. The closure member can engage the first jaw at a location which is distal with respect to the pivot. The closure member and the first jaw can include a cam pin/cam slot arrangement which increases the leverage or mechanical advantage that the closure member applies to the first jaw as the first jaw is moved from an open position to a closed position. The surgical instrument can further comprise a first motor configured to operate the closing system and a second motor configured to operate a firing system configured to eject fasteners from the fastener cartridge.

摘要： In various embodiments, a surgical stapling instrument can include a handle, a shaft extending from the handle, wherein the shaft defines an axis, and a disposable loading unit which is assembled to the shaft in a direction which is transverse to the shaft axis. Such a connection between the disposable loading unit and the shaft can prevent, or at least inhibit, the disposable loading unit from being unintentionally displaced proximally and/or distally relative to the shaft of the surgical instrument. The surgical stapling instrument and/or disposable loading unit can further include a threaded collar and/or detent assembly configured to hold the disposable loading unit in place. In various embodiments, a disposable loading unit can include a lockout feature which can prevent, or at least inhibit, an expended disposable loading unit from being reassembled to the elongated body of the surgical instrument.

摘要： Coupling systems for removably coupling dual rotary drive shafts of a surgical instrument to corresponding driven shafts of a surgical end effector. The surgical instrument may include a first rotary drive shaft that includes a first drive shaft axis and a second rotary drive shaft that includes a second drive shaft axis. The second drive shaft axis may be offset from and parallel with the first drive shaft axis. The coupling systems may facilitate simultaneous operable attachment of the first and second drive shafts of the surgical instrument with corresponding first and second driven shafts of a surgical end effector such that rotation of the first drive shaft rotates the first driven shaft and rotation of the second drive shaft rotates the second driven shaft.

摘要： A surgical instrument, such as an endoscopic or laparoscopic instrument. The surgical instrument may comprise an end effector (12) comprising at least one sensor (368). The surgical instrument may also comprise an electrically conductive shaft (8) having a distal end connected to the end effector (12) wherein the sensor (368) is electrically insulated from the shaft (12). The surgical instrument may also comprise a handle connected to a proximate end of the shaft (12). The handle may comprise a control unit (300) electrically coupled (400) to the shaft such that the shaft (8) radiates signals as an antenna from the control unit (300) to the sensor (368) and receives radiated signals from the sensor (368). Other components electrically coupled to the shaft may also radiate the signals.
