    摘要: A wireless communication interface is included in a surgical robotic arm and is used to detect various components of the robotic arm, including, an instrument drive unit, a sterile interface module (e.g., adapter), an instrument, an access port, etc. Detection of the components is used to confirm that each of the components are properly assembled by splitting up tag assemblies between multiple components, such that when the components are properly assembled, so are the tag assemblies, allowing for interrogation thereof by the wireless communication interface.

    摘要: A surgical stapling device includes a tool assembly and a drive assembly for actuating the tool assembly. The tool assembly includes an anvil assembly that defines a notch and a cartridge assembly that includes a staple cartridge having a cartridge body that supports staples and pushers and an actuation sled that supports a knife. The drive assembly supports a lockout mechanism that is movable between unlocked position and locked positions. The knife includes a protrusion that engages the lockout mechanism to move the lockout mechanism to the unlocked position as the drive assembly is moved from a retracted position towards an advanced position. When a knife is not present within the staple cartridge, the lockout mechanism remains in the unlocked position to prevent advancement of the drive assembly.

    摘要: An articulation mechanism(100) for use with a surgical stapling device(10) includes an articulation cover(120), an articulation lever(110) secured relative to the articulation cover(120), a first gear assembly(130) operably received within the articulation cover(120) and rotationally fixed relative to the articulation lever(110), and a second gear assembly(140) operably supported relative to the first gear assembly(130). The second gear assembly(140) includes a gear member(144). The articulation mechanism(100) further includes a yoke member(160) operably supported relative to the first gear assembly(130) and in operable engagement with the gear member(144), and an articulation linkage assembly 170 in operable engagement with the yoke member 160. Rotation of the articulation lever(110) in a first direction causes advancement of the articulation linkage assembly(170).

    摘要: A battery assembly for a medical device includes a housing that is configured to removably couple to the medical device. The battery assembly also includes a battery within the housing, a first terminal exposed on an outside of the housing, and a power button that forms part of the housing. The battery assembly further includes a battery control circuit within the housing, wherein the battery control circuit is configured to disable an output path from the battery to the first terminal when the power button is in an off position.

    摘要: A surgical fastening assembly includes first and second surgical fasteners. Each surgical fastener includes a base with opposed first and second ends. The base is formed from a deformable material. Each surgical fastener also includes a leg with a proximal end resiliently coupled to the second end of its respective base and a distal tip configured to penetrate body tissue. The first ends of the first and second surgical fasteners are in an abutting relationship. The distal tip of the leg of the first surgical fastener is adjacent the second end of the second surgical fastener and the distal tip of the leg of the second surgical fastener is adjacent the second end of the first surgical fastener such that the legs cross and define an X-shape.

    摘要: A system for performing a surgical procedure includes a camera configured to capture real-time near infrared images, an injection system configured to inject a fluorescent dye into a patient's blood stream, and a workstation operably coupled to the camera for retrieving a three-dimensional (3D) model of the patient's anatomy based on pre-procedure images, retrieve an indication of a targeted critical structure within the 3D model, observe, using the captured real-time near infrared images, perfusion of the fluorescent dye through tissue to identify critical structures illuminated by near-infrared light, and register the real-time near-infrared images to the 3D model using the identified illuminated targeted critical structure in the real-time near infrared images captured by the camera and the identified targeted critical structure in the 3D model as a landmark.

    摘要: A stapling device (10) includes a handle assembly (12) having a housing (18), a trigger (22), and an audible indicator mechanism (44) that provides an audible indication to a clinician after the trigger (22) is moved through a clamping stroke and after the trigger (22) is moved through a firing stroke. The audible indicator mechanism (44) includes a link (62), a clicker (64), and a retraction spring (66). The housing (18) of the handle assembly (12) defines a track (60) that has a triangular configuration and receives the clicker (64). The clicker (64) is movable through the track (60) to provide an audible indication to a clinician that the clamping and firing strokes are complete.

    摘要: A surgical kit includes a stapling device and a securing ring (600). The stapling device includes a reload including a trocar member and an anvil assembly including an anvil and an anvil shaft detachably couplable to the trocar member of the reload for unitary movement. The securing ring (600) is selectively securable about the anvil shaft. The securing ring has an annular profile defining an aperture (602). The securing ring includes first (620) and second (640) portions and an intermediate portion (660). The first and second portions adjustably overlap each other. The first portion includes a first tab (604). The second portion includes a hook (642). The intermediate portion includes a second tab (662) and defines slots (664) to receive the hook of the second portion. When the first and second tabs are displaced relative to each other, the aperture is transitionable from a first state having a first diameter to a second state having a second diameter.
