  • Powered surgical instrument with pressure sensitive motor speed control
    Patent number: 11571209
    Abstract: A surgical instrument includes a drive shaft, a motor for rotating the drive shaft, and a motor speed control. The motor speed control includes a first switch and a second switch which are in communication with the motor. The first switch is disposed over and in registration with the second switch. The first switch has an activated state such that the first switch sends a first signal to the motor. The motor rotates the drive shaft in response to the first signal. The second switch sends a second signal to the motor that varies the speed that the motor rotates the drive shaft in response to a force applied to the second switch by the first switch.

  • Variable speed control of powered surgical device
    Patent number: 11382622
    Abstract: A surgical device includes a housing, a drive shaft, a motor, a control button, and a motor speed controller. The motor is configured to rotate the drive shaft that is disposed within housing. The control button is disposed on the housing and the motor speed controller is operably associated with the control button. The motor speed controller varies an angular velocity of the motor as a function of a percent of actuation of the control button between an unactuated position and a fully actuated position.

  • VARIABLE SPEED CONTROL OF POWERED SURGICAL DEVICE
    Publication number: 20190357904
    Abstract: A surgical device includes a housing, a drive shaft, a motor, a control button, and a motor speed controller. The motor is configured to rotate the drive shaft that is disposed within housing. The control button is disposed on the housing and the motor speed controller is operably associated with the control button. The motor speed controller varies an angular velocity of the motor as a function of a percent of actuation of the control button between an unactuated position and a fully actuated position.
