A Dhivakar

A depth limiter that is configured to couple with first and second trocar cannulas having different diameters. The depth limiter includes first and second body portions. First and second body portions each include first and second gripping surfaces. The first and second body portions are pivotably coupled together and are movable between an open configuration and a closed configuration. In the open configuration, the first and second body portions are configured to allow for axial movement of the depth limiter relative to the first and second trocar cannulas. The first gripping surfaces of the first and second body portions are configured to restrict axial movement of the depth limiter relative to the first trocar cannula in the closed configuration. The second gripping surfaces of the first and second body portions are configured to restrict axial movement of the depth limiter relative to the second trocar cannula in the closed configuration.

Multi-diameter cannula depth limiter

The present disclosure provides a circular stapler. The circular stapler includes a stapling head assembly. A trocar is positioned at least partially within the stapling head assembly. An anvil is detachably attachable to the trocar. A knob rotatable to cause translation of the trocar to adjust a position of the anvil with respect to the stapling head assembly. One or more sensors are configured to generate data associated with a trocar position or an anvil state. A communication element is configured to provide the generated data to a hub, wherein the hub is configured to provide an indicator associated with the trocar position or the anvil state based on the generated data.

Surgical stapler for sensing and communicating trocar position and anvil state

A depth limiter that is configured to couple with a cannula of a surgical access device. The depth limiter includes first and second user contact portions and first and second biasing features. The first biasing feature includes a first resilient portion and a first gripping surface. The second biasing feature includes a second resilient portion and a second gripping surface. The first and second resilient portions are configured to move the respective first and second gripping surfaces from a fixed configuration to a movable configuration when the respective first and second user contact portions are actuated. In the fixed configuration, the first and second gripping surfaces collectively restrict axial movement of the depth limiter by directly contacting the cannula. In the movable configuration, the first and second gripping surfaces extend parallel to a longitudinal axis and allow for axial movement of the depth limiter relative to the cannula.

Pinch-to-release cannula depth limiter

Staple cartridge for a linear surgical stapler

A surgical access device assembly. The assembly includes a cannula having a working channel and a helical tissue engagement feature disposed along an outer surface of the cannula and configured to stabilize the cannula relative to a body cavity wall of a patient. The assembly also includes a depth limiter movably coupled with the cannula. The depth limiter includes a body portion extending about a central axis of the depth limiter and including a protrusion extending radially inwardly relative to the central axis. The body portion is movable angularly relative to the cannula between a fine adjustment configuration and a coarse adjustment configuration. In the fine adjustment configuration the protrusion is configured to selectively threadably engage the helical tissue engagement feature. In the coarse adjustment configuration the protrusion is configured to selectively threadably disengage the helical tissue engagement feature such that the depth limiter is translatable axially along the cannula.

Threaded cannula depth limiter

Systems, methods and devices for initiating pairing of wireless surgical instruments to a modular energy system are disclosed herein. In various aspects, a modular energy system includes an a radio frequency identification (RFID) reader that is configured to read an RFID card that is uniquely associated with a surgical instrument. When the RFID reader reads the RFID card, the RFID reader initiates a wireless pairing process with the surgical instrument. Initiating the wireless pairing process may include causing the module energy system to wirelessly search for the surgical instrument and causing a display screen to display instructions for wirelessly pairing the surgical instrument.

Linear surgical stapler

Pinch to release cannula depth limiter

Surgical stapler

A robotic surgical system includes a robotic surgical assembly and a control assembly. The robotic surgical assembly includes a robotic actuation assembly, a processing device, and a first communication device. The robotic actuation assembly includes a robotic arm. The processing device is configured to instruct the robotic actuation assembly to perform a task based on a set of instructions. The first communication device is operable to transfer the set of instructions to the processing device. The control assembly includes a second communication device and a user input device. The second communication device is operable to communicate the set of instructions to the first communication device. The user input device assembly is configured to generate the set of instructions and send the set of instruction to the second communication device. At least a portion of the instructions are based on positioning of the user input device within three-dimensional space.

User input device for robotic surgical system

A surgical instrument comprising a handle, a shaft rotatable relative to the handle, and an articulation joint rotatable relative to the shaft. The surgical instrument further comprises a motor-driven articulation system including articulation controls which are flipped by a control system of the surgical instrument when the shaft is rotated upside down relative to the handle.

Articulation control mapping for a surgical instrument

A surgical instrument comprising a handle, a shaft rotatable relative to the handle, and an end effector articulatable relative to the shaft about an articulation joint is disclosed. The shaft comprises a grip and at least one articulation control on the grip.

Articulation actuators for a surgical instrument

An apparatus includes a handle assembly, an end effector, a firing assembly, and a release assembly. The handle assembly includes first and second arms and a latching lever. The end effector includes first and second jaws. The firing assembly is configured to sever tissue captured between the jaws. The release assemble is configured to urge the latching lever away from the first arm to pivot the second jaw from a fully closed position to a partially closed position.

Release mechanism for linear surgical stapler

A surgical instrument comprising a shaft, an end effector, and an articulation joint rotatably connecting the end effector to the shaft is disclosed. The end effector and/or shaft comprise indicator lights which indicate the direction in which the end effector is being articulated. The indicator lights are positioned such that they are visible to a clinician via an endoscope monitor during an endoscopic procedure.
