Patent number: 11944366Abstract: An end-effector is disclosed including an ultrasonic blade configured to acoustically couple to an ultrasonic transducer and electrically couple to a pole of an electrical generator and a clamp arm including a clamp jaw and a cantilever electrode fixed to the clamp jaw. The cantilever electrode is configured to electrically couple to an opposite pole of the electrical generator. The clamp arm may include an I-beam shaped clamp arm pad and the cantilever electrode is disposed between the I-beam. The clamp jaw, the cantilever electrode, and the clamp arm pad may define recesses along a length coinciding with the ultrasonic blade. The clamp arm pad may be fixed to the clamp jaw and disposed between the clamp jaw and the cantilever electrode and may extend beyond the surface of the cantilever electrode. The clamp arm may include a stationary gap setting pad and movable floating gap setting pads.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2020Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: Cilag GmbH InternationalInventors: Craig N. Faller, Richard W. Flaker, Nina Mastroianni, John E. Brady, Frederick E. Shelton, IV, Jeffrey D. Messerly

Patent number: 10556120Abstract: A multi-mode electronic medical device for providing resuscitative therapy. The device comprising a housing having a front side positioned to be visible to a user of the device during use, and a user-selectable input to allow the user to select between a basic life support mode and an advanced life support mode. The device further comprising a display on the front of the device housing configured to display a first set of text and/or graphics in the basic life support mode and to display a second set of text and/or graphics, which are more complete than the first set of text and/or graphics, when the device is switched to the advanced life support mode via the user-selectable input. Additionally, the device comprising circuitry configured to control the display based on whether the medical device is operating in the basic life support mode or the advanced life support mode.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2018Date of Patent: February 11, 2020Assignee: ZOLL Medical CorporationInventors: Ziad F Elghazzawi, John Kubat, Frederick W.
