  • Publication number: 20250049446
    Abstract: A surgical stapler is presented which includes an end effector, a firing drive electric motor, and a control circuit. The motor is configured to translate a firing bar to deploy staples from the end effector during a staple firing stroke. The control circuit is configured to provide a pulse width modulated (PWM) electrical signal to the firing drive electric motor, compare an actual velocity of the firing bar to a directed velocity, and adjust a duty cycle of the PWM electrical signal based at least in part on the comparison. The control circuit can adjust the duty cycle based on one or more of a short term error (S), cumulative error (C), change error (R), a number of overshoots (N) calculated based on the comparison of the actual velocity to the directed velocity.

  • Publication number: 20250049467
    Abstract: A method of suturing a trocar path incision in a tissue of a patient with an obturator includes inserting the obturator through the tissue such that a shaft of the obturator extends through a tissue opening about the trocar path incision and a distal tip of the obturator is positioned within a cavity of the patient. The method also includes directing the suture via a suturing feature with the obturator inserted through the tissue in order to direct the suture relative to the tissue. Furthermore, the method includes closing the tissue opening about the trocar path incision with the suture.

  • Patent number: 12201304
    Abstract: A surgical system comprising an end effector, a firing driver movable during a firing stroke, a motor to drive the firing driver during the firing stroke, and a control circuit is disclosed. The control circuit is to initiate the firing stroke to drive the firing driver in a first mode, wherein, in the first mode, the motor is to drive the firing driver at a first speed; detect a first motor stall condition in the first mode; transition from the first mode to a second mode based on the detected first motor stall condition, wherein, in the second mode, the motor is to drive the firing driver at a second speed less than the first speed; detect a second motor stall condition in the second mode; and pause driving the firing driver for a period of time based on the detected second motor stall condition.
