View page
US Patent:
20220409264, Dec 29, 2022
Filed:
Jun 24, 2022
Appl. No.:
17/849014
Inventors:
- Mansfield MA, US

Jason G. Weihe - Longmont CO, US
Jason T. Sanders - Longmont CO, US
Alyssa M. Sawyer - Broomfield CO, US
Curtis M. Siebenaller - Frederick CO, US
International Classification:
A61B 18/14
A61B 18/12
Abstract:
A vessel sealing instrument includes a housing having a shaft extending from a distal end thereof including an end effector assembly having opposing first and second jaw members operably coupled thereto. One of the jaw members moveable between open and closed positions for clamping tissue with a closure pressure within the range of about 3 kg/cmto about 16 kg/cm. The jaw members are adapted to connect to a generator for providing energy thereto in accordance with a sealing algorithm. An anti-backdrive mechanism is associated with the end effector assembly and includes: a drive shaft coupled to a controller and a screw on opposite ends, the screw configured to engage one of the jaw members upon extension thereof to provide additional closure pressure therebetween. The drive shaft is rotatable by the controller to extend the screw in response to tissue expansion during sealing based on the sealing algorithm.

International Classification:
A61B 18/14
A61B 18/12
Abstract:
A vessel sealing instrument includes a housing having a shaft extending from a distal end thereof having an end effector assembly including a pair of opposing first and second jaw members operably coupled thereto. A drive assembly is disposed within the housing and is configured to move the jaw members upon actuation thereof between an open position and a closed position for clamping tissue with a closure pressure within the range of about 3 kg/cmto about 16 kg/cm. An anti-backdrive assembly is operably disposed within the housing and includes a drive wedge. A solenoid controller is operably coupled to the drive wedge and is configured to selectively move the drive wedge into the drive assembly upon activation thereof to increase the closure pressure between the jaw members in response to tissue expansion during sealing.

20220409266, Dec 29, 2022
Filed:
Jun 24, 2022
Appl. No.:
17/849048
Inventors:
- Mansfield MA, US
William R. Whitney - Boulder CO, US
Jason G. Weihe - Longmont CO, US
Jason T. Sanders - Longmont CO, US
Alyssa M. Sawyer - Broomfield CO, US
Curtis M. Siebenaller - Frederick CO, US
International Classification:
A61B 18/14
A61B 18/12
Abstract:
A vessel sealing instrument includes a housing having a shaft extending from a distal end thereof, the distal end including an end effector assembly having a pair of opposing jaw members operably coupled thereto. One or both of the jaw members is moveable between open and closed positions for clamping tissue with a closure pressure. One or both of the jaw members connects to a generator that provides energy thereto in accordance with a sealing algorithm upon activation thereof. An anti-backdrive mechanism is coupled to the end effector assembly and includes a drive shaft coupled at one end to a solenoid and another end that engages one of the jaw members upon extension thereof to provide additional closure pressure between the jaw members. The drive shaft is extendible by the solenoid to extend the drive shaft in response to tissue expansion during sealing based on the sealing algorithm.

US Patent:
20230131999, Apr 27, 2023
Filed:
Jan 19, 2022
Appl. No.:
17/798106
Inventors:
- Mansfield MA, US
Brian Lillis - Boulder CO, US
Matthew D. Straka - Arvada CO, US
Carolyn R. Girvin - Boulder CO, US
Curtis M. Siebenaller - Frederick CO, US
Jason G. Weihe - Longmont CO, US

Crystal A. Adams - Westminster CO, US
International Classification:
A61B 17/29
A61B 34/37
A61B 34/20
B25J 18/00
Abstract:
A surgical system includes at least one input coupler, an end effector assembly having a pair of jaw members configured to grasp tissue, and an actuation assembly. The pair of jaw members are caused to transition from an open position to a closed position to apply a jaw force to tissue. The surgical system also includes an articulating section configured to transition the end effector assembly between an un-articulated position and at least one articulated position and a storage device storing setting information and adjustment information. The setting information enables determination of a first input to cause the pair of jaw members to apply the jaw force to the tissue. The adjustment information enables adjustment of the setting information based on the position of the end effector assembly, for determination of a second input to cause the pair of jaw members to apply the jaw force to the tissue.
