Abstract: A forceps is provided and includes a housing having a shaft. An end effector assembly operatively connects to a distal end of the shaft and includes a pair of first and second jaw members. One or both of the first and second jaw members is movable relative to the other jaw member from a clamping position to an open position. A resilient member operably couples to at least one of the first and second jaw members. The resilient member is configured to bias the first and second jaw members in the clamping position and provide a closure force on tissue disposed therebetween.

Abstract: A nozzle plate for impulsive jet devices is proposed where the quality of ejected droplets is improved by means of additional non-emitting orifices. These orifices may act as fluid accumulators and tuned or untuned absorbers of pressure disturbances to optimize drop quality and reduce fluidic crosstalk between adjacent drop generators. The presence of these orifices permits additional degrees-of-freedom in the design of high-quality impulsive jet devices. Sufficient crosstalk reduction results that crosstalk reduction barriers can be eliminated.
