Abstract: Devices to control a movement or instrument function of a robotic arm of a surgical robotic system include a foot pedal configured to generate a first input signal when the foot pedal is moved to a first activation position and a second input signal, different from the first input signal, when the foot pedal is moved to a second activation position. The first activation position may be associated with a first specific movement or instrument function of a robotic arm. The second activation position may be associated with a second specific movement or instrument function of the robotic arm. The foot pedal is configured to send the first input signal or the second input signal to a surgical console to be utilized to remotely control the respective specific movement or instrument function of the robotic arm.

Abstract: A forceps includes an end effector assembly having first and second jaw members movable between a spaced-apart position and an approximated position for grasping tissue therebetween. A knife assembly having a cutting blade disposed at a distal end thereof is also provided. The knife assembly is translatable relative to the end effector assembly between a retracted position and an extended position, wherein the cutting blade extends between the jaw members to cut tissue grasped therebetween. The knife assembly includes a proximal component and a first distal component that includes the cutting blade. The proximal and first distal components are removably coupled to one another to facilitate replacement of the first distal component. Methods of preparing such forceps for reuse are also provided.

Abstract: A surgical instrument includes a housing, energizable member, first activation switch, cable assembly, and second activation switch. The housing is operatively associated with the energizable member. The first activation switch is coupled to the energizable member and is selectively transitionable from an open condition to a closed condition. The cable assembly is coupled to the housing at a first end and includes a plug at a second, opposite end, the plug housing a second activation switch selectively transitionable from an open condition to a closed condition. The plug is adapted to connect to the source of electrosurgical energy, wherein transitioning of the first activation switch from the open condition to the closed condition transitions the second activation switch from the open condition to the closed condition such that the second activation switch communicates with the source of electrosurgical energy to initiate the supply of energy to the energizable member.

Abstract: An electrosurgical system includes an end effector assembly and an electrosurgical generator. The end effector assembly includes first and second jaw members, one or both of which is movable relative to the other for grasping tissue between tissue-contacting surfaces thereof. One or both of the jaw members includes a sensor configured to sense at least one property associated with the grasped tissue. The electrosurgical generator includes a controller and an energy output configured to supply electrosurgical energy to the tissue-contacting surface of one or both of the jaw members for conduction through the grasped tissue to seal the grasped tissue. The controller is configured to receive the at least one sensed property, determine at least one condition of collagen within the grasped tissue based upon the at least one sensed property, and control the energy output based upon the determined at least one condition of the collagen within the grasped tissue.

Abstract: A bipolar electrosurgical instrument includes first and second shafts each having a jaw member extending from its distal end. Each jaw member is adapted to connect to a source of electrosurgical energy such that the jaw members are capable of selectively conducting energy through tissue held therebetween. A knife channel is configured to reciprocate a cutting mechanism therealong. An actuator selectively advances the cutting mechanism. A switch is disposed on the first shaft and is configured to be depressed between a first position and at least one subsequent position upon biasing engagement with a mechanical interface disposed on the second shaft. The first position of the switch relays information to the user corresponding to a desired pressure on tissue and the at least one subsequent position is configured to activate the source of electrosurgical energy to supply electrosurgical energy to the jaw members.

Abstract: A method includes providing a graphical representation of a surgical site, grasping the tissue of the patient with first and second jaw members of an end effector including a location sensor, irradiating a laser onto the grasped tissue at the first jaw member, detecting scattered laser that has passed through the grasped tissue, at the second jaw member, processing the scattered laser to calculate a first frequency shift and to identify a vessel which is encompassed within the grasped tissue, receiving location information of the end effector from the location sensor, synchronizing a location of the identified vessel within the graphical representation based on the location information, and displaying the identified vessel at the synchronized location in the graphical representation.

Abstract: A surgical instrument includes a housing, first, second, and third actuators operably coupled to the housing, an at least partially semi-rigid shaft extending distally from the housing, an end effector assembly disposed at a distal end of the shaft, and first, second, and third bars extending through the shaft in non-coaxial arrangement. The first bar is operably coupled between the first actuator and the end effector assembly such that actuation thereof effects manipulation of the end effector assembly. The second bar is operably coupled between the second actuator and a first deployable component such that actuation thereof effects deployment of the first deployable component relative to the end effector assembly. The third bar is operably coupled between the third actuator and a second deployable component such that actuation thereof effects deployment of the second deployable component relative to the end effector assembly.
