Publication number: 20230200803Abstract: An end effector for use with a surgical device is provided. The end effector includes a drive assembly, a driver, a needle assembly and a biasing element. The driver is disposed in mechanical cooperation with the drive assembly. Rotation of the drive assembly in a first direction causes distal translation of the driver with respect to the drive assembly. The needle assembly is disposed in mechanical cooperation with the driver. Distal translation of the driver causes a corresponding distal translation of the needle assembly. The biasing element is disposed in mechanical cooperation with the needle assembly and is configured to bias the needle assembly proximally.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 6, 2023Publication date: June 29, 2023Inventors: Arpan Desai, Paul C. DiCesare, Danial Ferreira, Brandon Michael Zalewski

Patent number: 11382614Abstract: According to an aspect of the present disclosure, an end effector for use with a surgical device is provided. The end effector includes a driver, a clip assembly, a needle assembly, and biasing element. The clip assembly is disposed in mechanical cooperation with the driver. Rotation of the driver results in longitudinal translation of the clip assembly. The needle assembly is selectively engaged with the clip assembly. The biasing element is disposed in mechanical cooperation with the needle assembly and is configured to bias the needle assembly proximally.Type: GrantFiled: April 9, 2020Date of Patent: July 12, 2022Assignee: COVIDIEN LPInventors: Arpan Desai, Paul C. DiCesare, Danial Ferreira, Brandon Michael Zalewski

Patent number: 11298123Abstract: According to an aspect of the present disclosure, an end effector for use with a surgical device is provided. The end effector includes a drive assembly, a driver, a needle assembly, and a follower. The drive assembly includes a first helical groove. Rotation of the drive assembly in a first direction causes distal translation of the driver with respect to the drive assembly. The needle assembly is disposed in mechanical cooperation with the driver. Distal translation of the driver causes a corresponding distal translation of the needle assembly. The follower is configured to engage the first helical groove of the drive assembly. When the follower is engaged with the first helical groove, rotation of the drive assembly in the first direction causes distal translation of the follower with respect to the drive assembly.Type: GrantFiled: August 16, 2017Date of Patent: April 12, 2022Assignee: COVIDIEN LPInventors: Arpan Desai, Paul C. DiCesare, Danial Ferreira, Brandon Michael Zalewski
