Publication number: 20150209040Abstract: A surgical device comprises a base unit having a hydraulic controller and at least one control piston, a surgical end effector including at least one actuator piston, and a flexible shaft having at least one tube containing hydraulic fluid in hydraulic communication with the base unit and the surgical end effector. The hydraulic controller includes an electric motor configured to drive the control piston to generate hydraulic force. The hydraulic force is transferable from the base unit to the actuator piston of the surgical end effector through the hydraulic fluid in the at least one tube in the flexible shaft, such that the driving of the control piston by the electric motor under the control of the hydraulic controller transfers the hydraulic force from the control piston of the base unit to the actuator piston of the end effector in proportion to the ratio of the area of the control piston and the area of the actuator piston by metering the hydraulic fluid transferred by the control piston.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 23, 2015Publication date: July 30, 2015Inventors: Michael P. Whitman, David Johnston, Peter Datcuk

Publication number: 20140374463Abstract: A surgical device includes a first jaw and a second jaw moveable relative to the first jaw between a first position, in which the first and second jaws are aligned within a plane, and a second position, in which the second jaw is in non-parallel correspondence to the plane. The surgical device may include a surgical member, e.g., a cutting and/or stapling element, disposed within the first law, and a second driver configured to cause relative movement of the surgical member in a direction parallel to the plane. The first and second jaws may include a camming arrangement that is configured to move the second jaw between the first and second positions. The camming arrangement may include a channel disposed along at least a portion of one or both of the first and second jaws, and a ball bearing disposed within the channel.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 9, 2014Publication date: December 25, 2014Inventors: Michael P.
