Patent number: 11819209Abstract: A surgical instrument includes a motor-driven drive shaft, a distal firing rod coupled to a driven element of a surgical end effector, and a clutch mechanism coupled between the drive shaft and the distal firing rod. The clutch mechanism is configured to electrically connect the drive shaft and the distal firing rod upon the distal firing rod experiencing a threshold force. The electrical connection signals a processor that the threshold force has been exceeded.Type: GrantFiled: August 3, 2021Date of Patent: November 21, 2023Assignee: Covidien LPInventors: Suresh Kumar Prema Mohanasundaram, Brian J. Creston, David M. Chowaniec, Roanit A. Fernandes, Hari Naga Mahesh Kalepu, Raja Kamaraj

Patent number: 11812991Abstract: Access assemblies include an instrument valve housing and a valve assembly disposed within the instrument valve housing. The valve assembly includes a guard assembly, and a seal assembly disposed adjacent the guard assembly. The seal assembly includes a plurality of seal segments defining a substantially hexagonal body. Each seal segment of the plurality of seal segments includes a base portion and a seal portion extending from the base portion. Each base portion including an outer edge formed of three segments. Each seal segment of the plurality of seal segments is disposed relative to an adjacent seal segment of the plurality of seal segments such that two of the three segments of the outer edge of the respective seal segments align with each other. The valve assembly also includes a centering mechanism for biasing the seal assembly and guard assembly towards a center of the cavity of the instrument valve.Type: GrantFiled: August 19, 2020Date of Patent: November 14, 2023Assignee: Covidien LPInventors: Garrett Ebersole, Hari Naga Mahesh Kalepu, Raja Kamaraj, Sabastian George, Dharani Gandhi

Patent number: 11065000Abstract: A surgical stapling apparatus includes an end effector having an anvil assembly and a staple cartridge assembly, and an anvil buttress retention system releasably disposed on the anvil assembly. The anvil buttress retention system includes an anvil buttress and a retention member including an elongated body looped around at least a portion of the anvil buttress with a free end of the elongated body extendable through a looped end of the elongated body in an untightened configuration such that the anvil buttress retention system is slidable relative to the anvil assembly. The free end of the retention member is movable relative to and through the looped end to a tightened configuration to secure the anvil buttress retention system to the anvil assembly.Type: GrantFiled: February 1, 2019Date of Patent: July 20, 2021Assignee: COVIDIEN LPInventors: Jeevan Maddur Shankarsetty, Hari Naga Mahesh Kalepu, Jitendra Bhargava Srinivas
