    摘要: Biomarkers are collected and used to determine biological propensities of a patient, to determine the efficacy of medical devices, to select and administer therapeutic agents, to select medical devices, to make adjustments to medical devices, and/or to adjust surgical techniques. An apparatus includes a port to draw a biological fluid (e.g., a mist) from a surgical site. The apparatus includes a sensor having a cantilevered beam. The beam includes substances selected to attract certain biomarkers as the fluid is communicated across the beam. The same apparatus or another apparatus is used to administer a therapeutic agent based at least in part on collected biomarker data. The therapeutic agent delivery apparatus may include a device that is also used to create a wound at a surgical site. For instance, a harmonic surgical instrument may be used to both collect biomarkers and administer a therapeutic agent (e.g., gene therapy using sonoporation).

    摘要: A surgical instrument can comprise a first jaw and second jaw, wherein the first jaw is movable relative to the second jaw to capture tissue having a tissue thickness. A tissue cutting force monitor is configured to determine the tissue thickness of the captured tissue and communicate the tissue thickness to a controller, wherein the controller is configured to adjust the speed of a tissue-cutting element during a cutting portion of a firing stroke based on the tissue thickness communicated from the tissue cutting force monitor. The controller is configured to reduce the speed of the tissue-cutting element when the tissue cutting force monitor communicates a thicker tissue thickness to the controller. The controller is configured to increase the speed of the tissue-cutting element when the tissue cutting force monitor communicates a thinner tissue thickness to the controller.

    摘要: A surgical end effector includes a cutting member, a first jaw, and a second jaw. The first jaw includes a first uninterrupted electrically conductive region. The second jaw includes an elongate slot extending longitudinally along a length of the second jaw member, the elongate slot defining a longitudinal axis aligned with the elongate slot. The second jaw also includes a second electrode surface extending between a proximal end and a distal end, the second electrode surface including a proximal interrupted electrically conductive region, a plurality of non-conductive stop members disposed on the proximal interrupted electrically conductive region, and a distal uninterrupted electrically conductive region distal to the proximal interrupted electrically conductive region.
