    Abstract: A surgical instrument end effector assembly includes a first jaw member defining an insulative tissue-contacting surface and first and second electrically-conductive tissue-contacting surfaces disposed on either side of the insulative surface. A second jaw member of the end effector assembly includes an ultrasonic blade body positioned to oppose the insulative surface of the first jaw member, and first and second electrically-conductive tissue-contacting surfaces disposed on either side of the ultrasonic blade body and positioned to oppose the first and second electrically-conductive surfaces, respectively, of the first jaw member. The first jaw member is movable relative to the second jaw member between a spaced-apart position and an approximated position to grasp tissue therebetween. The first and second electrically-conductive surfaces of the second jaw member are movable, independent of the first jaw member, relative to the first jaw member and the ultrasonic blade body between a retracted position and an extended position.

    Abstract: A surgical system includes an elongated assembly and an articulation joint defined in the elongated assembly. The elongated assembly articulates about the articulation joint. The articulation joint defines a central axis and a distal side portion. An offsetting member extends from the distal side portion of the articulation joint. An end effector is supported by the offsetting member. The end effector includes a blade and a jaw member movable relative to the blade between a spaced-apart position and an approximated position for clamping tissue. The offsetting member offsets the end effector with respect to the central axis of the articulation joint. An actuation cable extends through the central axis of the articulation joint. The actuation cable is operably coupled to the jaw member to pivot the jaw member with respect to the blade between the spaced-apart position and the approximated position.

    IPC: A61B17/32

    Abstract: An articulating surgical end effector includes an expandable pivot defined at a distal end of an ultrasonic waveguide, a socket at least partially receiving the expandable pivot within an interior volume thereof, and a blade extending distally from the socket. The socket is configured to articulate about the expandable pivot in any direction, and the expandable pivot and socket together are configured to enable ultrasonic energy transmission through the ultrasonic waveguide to the blade in any articulated position of the socket relative to the expandable pivot.

    IPC: A61B17/32

    Abstract: An ultrasonic surgical instrument includes a transducer configured to produce a first mode of ultrasonic energy and a waveguide coupled to the transducer. The waveguide includes a proximal body portion coupled to and extending distally from the transducer. The proximal body portion is configured to receive the first mode of ultrasonic energy from the transducer for transmission therealong. The waveguide further includes a distal body portion, a blade extending distally from the distal body portion, and an articulation portion interconnecting the proximal and distal body portions. The articulation portion is configured to enable articulation of the distal body portion relative to the proximal body portion, to receive the first mode of ultrasonic energy from the proximal body portion, convert the first mode of ultrasonic energy into a second mode of ultrasonic energy, and transmit the second mode of ultrasonic energy along the distal body portion to the blade.

    IPC: A61B18/14

    Abstract: An endoscopic surgical forceps includes a housing having a shaft extending therefrom with an end effector operably coupled thereto. The end effector includes first and second jaw members movable relative to one another between open and closed positions. A first handle is pivotably coupled to the housing and is movable relative to a second handle disposed on the housing, the first handle configured to actuate the jaw members between the open and closed positions upon movement thereof relative to the second handle. A trigger is operably coupled to the housing and is configured to deploy a knife between the first and second jaw members upon actuation thereof. An energy activation switch is coupled to an electrosurgical energy source such that activation thereof supplies energy to the first and second jaw members, the energy activation switch is disposed on the trigger.

    Abstract: A surgical end effector assembly includes an ultrasonic blade adapted to connect to an ultrasonic transducer configured to transmit ultrasonic energy to the ultrasonic blade, first and second panels disposed on opposite sides of the ultrasonic blade in laterally-spaced relation relative thereto, and a jaw pivotable relative to the ultrasonic blade and the first and second panels between open and clamping positions. At least two of the ultrasonic blade, the first and second panels, or the jaw may be energizable to different electrical potentials for transmitting an electric signal therebetween and through tissue for at least one of interrogating tissue or treating tissue. Alternatively or additionally, the jaw includes first and second energy elements configured to facilitate delivery of another energy, different from ultrasonic energy, to tissue disposed between the first and second energy elements and the first and second
