Abstract: Systems and methods for image detection during grasping and stapling include an end effector having a first jaw and a second jaw, an imaging sensor mounted to the end effector and configured to capture images of a material graspable by the end effector, and one or more processors coupled to the end effector and the imaging sensor. The one or more processors are configured to receive the images from the imaging sensor, determine one or more properties of the material based on the images, and display the one or more properties of the material on an interface. In some embodiments, the end effector is part of a medical tool and the material is anatomical tissue. In some embodiments, the end effector further includes one or more of a stapling mechanism configured to staple the material or a cutting mechanism configured to cut the material.

Abstract: A system for providing on-demand functionality during a medical procedure is provided. The system comprises a first instrument comprising an instrument body and an end effector. The end effector provides a first functionality. The system further comprises a first accessory providing a second functionality. The first functionality and the second functionality are a common functionality. The system further comprises a mounting component attached to the first accessory. The mounting component is configured to interact with the instrument body to removably couple the first accessory to the first instrument to augment the first functionality with the second functionality.

Abstract: An imaging instrument comprises an elongate flexible shaft, a camera disposed at a distal end of the elongate flexible shaft, and a housing coupled to a proximal end of the elongate flexible shaft. The instrument also includes a light emitting diode (LED) within the housing and a heat dissipation system in thermal communication with the LED to transfer heat produced by the LED away from the housing.
