Patent number: 10716589Abstract: A surgical instrument for cutting and grasping tissue comprising a handle assembly, an elongated member and first and second jaws. A first movable member moves the second jaw in a first direction about a first pivot axis in a grasping action and a second movable member moves the second jaw in a second direction different than the first direction and about a second pivot axis in a cutting action. A switch is positioned at the proximal portion of the instrument and a selecting member is actuated by movement of the switch, the selecting member movable between a first position to enable movement of the second jaw in the first direction and prohibit movement in the second direction and a second position to enable movement of the second jaw in the second direction and prohibit movement in the first direction.Type: GrantFiled: October 13, 2017Date of Patent: July 21, 2020Assignee: Take5 EndotechInventors: Menno Kalmann, Peter W.J. Hinchliffe, Adam I. Lehman, Daniel Helme, Norbert Thomas Jankowski, Joel N. Helfer

Publication number: 20160262782Abstract: A surgical instrument including a handle assembly, an elongated member, and first and second jaws positioned adjacent a distal portion of the elongated member. At least one of the first or second jaws is movable with respect to the other jaw. A first movable member is movable between first and second positions to effect jaw movement in a grasping action and a second movable member is movable between first and second positions to effect jaw movement in a cutting action. A selector is engageable with the handle assembly and movable from a first position to a second position, wherein in the first position the selector is in blocking engagement with the handle assembly to prevent jaw movement in the cutting action and in the second position the selector is in blocking engagement with the handle assembly to prevent jaw movement in the grasping action.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 20, 2016Publication date: September 15, 2016Applicant: Take5 EndotechInventors: MENNO KALMANN, Wieger Kaptein
