  • APPARATUS FOR ENDOSCOPIC PROCEDURES
    Publication number: 20230056274
    Abstract: A surgical device includes a jaw assembly defining a first longitudinal axis and including a first jaw and a second jaw moveable relative to the first jaw; an elongated body defining a second longitudinal axis and coupled to a proximal end of the jaw assembly, wherein the jaw assembly is configured to articulate about an articulation axis transverse to the second longitudinal axis relative to the elongated body; and a handle assembly coupled to a proximal end of the elongated body and including at least one motor mechanically coupled to the jaw assembly and a control assembly including a first control button and a second control button, wherein actuation of the first control button moves the second jaw in approximation relative to the first jaw and actuating the second control button moves the second jaw away from the first jaw, and actuating the first and second control buttons moves the jaw assembly to a centered position in which the first and second longitudinal axes are substantially aligned, the handle

  • Surgical robotic arm support systems and methods of use
    Patent number: 10500015
    Abstract: A surgical robotic arm support system may include a base and at least one post and/or a connection for coupling a robot arm to the support system. The base may be configured to at least partially surround a surgical table. The at least one post may have a first end supported on the base and a second end configured to support a robotic arm. The at least one post may be configured to be coupled to a surgical table. The connection may support a mechanical and/or electrical connectivity between the support system and a coupled robot arm. Electrical connectivity may be configured to identify at least one of the robot arm connections to which at least one robot arm is connected. Each robot arm connection may be configured to maintain a portion of a connected robot arm at a predetermined position from the base.

  • Method of emergency retraction for electro-mechanical surgical devices and systems
    Patent number: 10117654
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an electromechanical surgical system and methods for use thereof including a surgical instrument having a controller, and an end effector selectively and removably connectable to the surgical instrument, wherein the controller enters an emergency retraction mode when at least one input element of the surgical system is incapable of providing control signals to the controller to operate a motor, wherein the emergency retraction mode activates the motor to withdraw a drive assembly from any advanced position thereof.
