Abstract
An ultrasonic surgical instrument includes an end effector with an ultrasonic blade, a shaft assembly, and a body assembly. The shaft assembly has an articulation section, an acoustic waveguide with a flexible waveguide portion, an articulation band configured to drive articulation of the articulation section between a straight configuration and an articulated configuration, and a pin distal to the articulation section and configured to constrain a distal waveguide portion to the end effector. The body assembly has a housing, a transducer assembly, and a compensator operatively connected to the articulation band and the acoustic waveguide. The compensator is configured to longitudinally urge the acoustic waveguide to thereby pivot the ultrasonic blade about the pin for alignment relative to another portion of the end effector.
