The handle includes a first grip portion and a second grip portion pivotably coupled such that the distal end is controllable by manipulation of the handle. At least one sensor is coupled to the distal end of the surgical instrument, wherein the sensor detects a condition at the distal end. An actuator is coupled to one of the first and second grip portions is configured to provide haptic effects to the one of the first and second grip portions. A controller is electrically coupled to the sensor and electrically coupled to the actuator, wherein the controller controls operation of the actuator such that the haptic effects are feedback relating to the sensed condition.

    摘要: A surgical tool system including a laparoscopic surgical tool for heating, ablating, sealing, and/or dissecting tissue, a control system for monitoring impedance of the tissue during treatment thereof, and a tactile feedback system integrated onto a handle of the tool that generates relevant feedback from the control system in at least the form of haptic effects to the user. The tactile feedback alerts the tool user of changes in tissue properties, i.e., when the impedance of the tissue indicates that the treatment procedure is complete. In addition, the tactile feedback provided may supply information relating to the operating status of the control system to the user.
