Abstract: A surgical instrument including a system for stopping a beam of the surgical instrument from impacting a distal pin when reversing a knife is disclosed. A knife assembly of the surgical instrument comprises the knife, the beam, and a firing nut. A firing lead screw can drive the firing nut distally and proximally. A firing screw compression spring extends along the firing lead screw and applies a load proximally on the firing nut when the firing nut is driven toward a distal end of the firing lead screw.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for protecting data. One system includes a readiness system configured to access entity data of an entity, determine a security posture of the entity based on the entity data, and model the security posture and a plurality of security objectives of the entity to generate a set of cybersecurity attributes of the entity. The system can further include a cybersecurity connection system configured to determine and provide, utilizing one or more protection parameters, a cybersecurity protection plan corresponding to a new cybersecurity attribute to protect the entity, wherein the cybersecurity protection plan is configured to be activated in response to an acceptance by the entity and an incident system configured to model a plurality of cybersecurity protection plans between the entity and a third-party.

Abstract: A system for preventing unwanted tissue migration in surgical staplers includes a surgical stapler having an end effector including an upper jaw and a lower jaw. A distal end of the upper jaw is connected to a distal end of the lower jaw, and a proximal end of the upper jaw is connected to a proximal end of the lower jaw. First and second tissue stops are formed on the distal and proximal ends of the lower jaw, respectively. The second tissue stop and the proximal end of the upper jaw define a no cut zone when the surgical stapler is in an open position. The surgical stapler also includes a tissue cutting device disposed within the lower jaw for resecting tissue. The system also includes a warning, blocking, impeding, or barrier forming device for preventing the unwanted migration of tissue into the no tissue zone.

Abstract: An electrosurgical surgical instrument comprising an end effector, the end effector comprising an anvil; a cartridge operably configured to house a plurality of staples; a blade assembly comprising a blade; at least one electrode coupled to the blade, wherein the at least one electrode is in electrical communication with an electrosurgical power source generated from a controller; and at least one tissue sensor coupled to the blade; and a tissue monitoring system in electrical communication with the at least one tissue sensor, wherein the at least one tissue sensor provides feedback signals indicative of a property of the tissue to the controller, and wherein the controller signals the electrosurgical power source to adjust operational parameters of the electrosurgical surgical instrument based on the feedback signals.

Abstract: A buttress device includes an applicator assembly including an applicator body, the applicator body being flexible, and a release liner. The release liner is coupled to the applicator body. The buttress device includes a buttress positioned on the applicator body, and a buttress fastener, the buttress fastener configured to couple the buttress to an end effector. The buttress fastener is configured to be releasably fastened to the release liner. The buttress device has a first configuration in which the buttress is coupled to the applicator assembly, and a second configuration in which the buttress is uncoupled from the applicator assembly, wherein the sacrificial tab is removed from the applicator assembly in the second configuration.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable storage media for protecting data. One system includes a plurality of data channels configured to access environmental data of a plurality of entities and one or more processing circuits communicatively coupled to the plurality of data channels, the one or more processing circuits including memory and processors configured to receive one or more cybersecurity plan offerings associated with a third-party, model the one or more cybersecurity plan offerings, monitor, using the plurality of data channels, the environmental data of the plurality of entities modeling the one or more cybersecurity plan offerings, generate a new cybersecurity incident based on detecting, from the environmental data, the new cybersecurity incident associated with an entity of the plurality of entities, and provide the new cybersecurity incident to a dashboard of the third-party.
