Abstract

A surgical instrument receives an indication to provide adaptive control of surgical instrument functions. The indication may indicate to provide adaptable staple height operating range, to control motors associated with tissue compression, and/or to operate using the operational parameters associated with previous surgical procedures. The surgical instrument may determine values for parameters associated with the identified function and adapt the control of the identified function based upon the determined parameters. The surgical instrument may adapt a display of staple height operating range based on parameters indicating a size of an anvil head. The surgical instrument may control motors associated with tissue compression based on parameters indicating force applied in the instrument. The surgical instrument may operate according to operational parameters identified by a surgical hub.
