  • SURGICAL ROBOTIC ACCESS SYSTEM FOR IRREGULARLY SHAPED ROBOTIC ACTUATORS AND ASSOCIATED ROBOTIC SURGICAL INSTRUMENTS
    Publication number: 20230248222
    Abstract: The surgical robotic access system provides access for robotic instruments and/or actuators including the introduction, operation and withdrawal of such robotic manipulators into a body cavity without permitting the escape of pressurized fluid or gas. The surgical robotic access system also provides a multi-faceted range of movement without touching or effecting pressure on the opening in the patient's body cavity.
    Type: Application

  • Surgical Stapler Having Shaft Recognition Mechanism
    Publication number: 20220218331
    Abstract: A handle assembly for a surgical stapler can comprise a rotatable actuation shaft. The actuation shaft can have a first rotational orientation in which it can actuate a jaw assembly in a staple firing mode, and a second rotational orientation in which it can actuate a jaw assembly in a reversing mode. The handle assembly can include an articulation mechanism including a ball screw to selectively articulate the jaw assembly relative to an elongate shaft. The handle assembly can include a mechanism to lock out selection of the staple firing mode and actuation of the articulation mechanism if a reload shaft is not securely coupled to the handle assembly.
