  • Publication number: 20250331852
    Abstract: A power pack removably loadable into a compartment of an instrument. The power pack has a first motor and a first engagement member removably engageable with a firing mechanism to effect firing of fasteners and a second motor and second engagement member removably engageable with an articulation mechanism when the power pack is loaded into the compartment to effect movement of the articulation mechanism from a first position to a second position. A display screen indicates one or more of the following a) a specific direction and angle of the first and second jaws with respect to the longitudinal axis; b) a tissue force during firing of fasteners; c) a clamping force by the instrument jaws on tissue prior to firing; and/or d) change in clamping force over time. The display screen can alternatively be on the instrument.
