• A bipolar forceps for sealing tissue includes an end effector assembly having opposing first and second jaw members each having a proximal end and a distal end. (justia.com)
  • Such motions may be further converted and modified by mechanical means to produce desirable output force and speed characteristics that are transmitted to at least one end-effector that performs useful mechanical work on soft tissue, bone, teeth and the like. (patsnap.com)
  • In various embodiments, the end effector also includes a gripper, for gripping tissue in cooperation with the ultrasound probe tip. (patsnap.com)
  • A jaw angle detection system for an end effector assembly includes a first electrical contact that connects to a first jaw member and connects to a generator. (justia.com)
  • A surgical instrument for enhancing robotic surgery generally includes an elongate shaft with an ultrasound probe, an end effector at the distal end of the shaft, and a base at the proximal end of the shaft. (patsnap.com)
  • The end effector includes an ultrasound probe tip and the surgical instrument is generally configured for convenient positioning of the probe tip within a surgical site by a robotic surgical system. (patsnap.com)
  • The base is generally configured to removably couple the surgical instrument to a robotic surgical system and to transmit forces from the surgical system to the end effector, through the elongate shaft. (patsnap.com)
