Abstract: An electrode assembly may include an electrode support made of a first electrically insulative material and an electrode on the electrode support, the electrode having a working surface extending generally transverse to a thickness of the electrode. The electrode assembly may further include an insulative spacer retained in the electrode and made of a second electrically insulative material. The second electrically insulative material may be different from the first electrically insulative material. The insulative spacer of the electrode assembly may have a body portion extending into the thickness of the electrode, and a head portion protruding beyond the working surface of the electrode.

Abstract: A method for making an electrode assembly comprises overlaying an electrode on an electrode support, the electrode comprising a plurality of openings extending at least partially through a thickness of the electrode; supporting the electrode support with a jaw body; stitching a filament made of electrically insulative material comprising a first inset segment and exposed segment into a first opening of the plurality of openings such that the first inset segment is positioned in the first opening and at least a portion of the exposed segment is positioned to overlie an exposed working surface of the electrode; and affixing at least an end portion of the first inset segment of the filament to the electrode, electrode support, and/or the jaw body.

Abstract: A force transmission mechanism of a surgical instrument, the force transmission mechanism being configured to releasably engage with a drive interface device located at a patient side cart of a teleoperated surgical system may comprise a housing comprising a side wall surrounding an interior of the housing, one or more drive components in the interior of the housing, a releasable coupling mechanism configured to releasably engage the force transmission mechanism with the drive interface device, wherein the releasable coupling mechanism has a longitudinal axis and is pivotable about an axis oriented approximately perpendicular to the longitudinal axis.

Abstract: An electrode assembly comprises an electrode support, an electrode on the electrode support, the electrode having a working surface extending generally transverse to a thickness of the electrode, and a filament of electrically insulative material overlying a portion of the working surface of the electrode and at least partially extending through the thickness of the electrode. An electrosurgical may include an end effector having a jaw member comprising such an electrode assembly.
