The present invention relates to surgical instruments and, in various embodiments, to surgical stapling and cutting instruments and staple cartridges for use therewith.
A stapling instrument can include a pair of cooperating elongate jaw members, wherein each jaw member can be adapted to be inserted into a patient and positioned relative to tissue that is to be stapled and/or incised. In various embodiments, one of the jaw members can support a staple cartridge with at least two laterally spaced rows of staples contained therein, and the other jaw member can support an anvil with staple-forming pockets aligned with the rows of staples in the staple cartridge. Generally, the stapling instrument can further include a pusher bar and a knife blade which are slidable relative to the jaw members to sequentially eject the staples from the staple cartridge via camming surfaces on the pusher bar and/or camming surfaces on a wedge sled that is pushed by the pusher bar. In at least one embodiment, the camming surfaces can be configured to activate a plurality of staple drivers carried by the cartridge and associated with the staples in order to push the staples against the anvil and form laterally spaced rows of deformed staples in the tissue gripped between the jaw members. In at least one embodiment, the knife blade can trail the camming surfaces and cut the tissue along a line between the staple rows. Examples of such stapling instruments are disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 7,794,475, entitled SURGICAL STAPLES HAVING COMPRESSIBLE OR CRUSHABLE MEMBERS FOR SECURING TISSUE THEREIN AND STAPLING INSTRUMENTS FOR DEPLOYING THE SAME, the entire disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference herein.

The term “proximal” referring to the portion closest to the clinician and the term “distal” referring to the portion located away from the clinician. It will be further appreciated that, for convenience and clarity, spatial terms such as “vertical”, “horizontal”, “up”, and “down” may be used herein with respect to the drawings. However, surgical instruments are used in many orientations and positions, and these terms are not intended to be limiting and/or absolute.
Various exemplary devices and methods are provided for performing laparoscopic and minimally invasive surgical procedures. However, the reader will readily appreciate that the various methods and devices disclosed herein can be used in numerous surgical procedures and applications including, for example, in connection with open surgical procedures. As the present Detailed Description proceeds, the reader will further appreciate that the various instruments disclosed herein can be inserted into a body in any way, such as through a natural orifice, through an incision or puncture hole formed in tissue, etc. The working portions or end effector portions of the instruments can be inserted directly into a patient's body or can be inserted through an access device that has a working channel through which the end effector and elongated shaft of a surgical instrument can be advanced.
A surgical stapling system can comprise a shaft and an end effector extending from the shaft. The end effector comprises a first jaw and a second jaw. The first jaw comprises a staple cartridge. The staple cartridge is insertable into and removable from the first jaw; however, other embodiments are envisioned in which a staple cartridge is not removable from, or at least readily replaceable from, the first jaw. The second jaw comprises an anvil configured to deform staples ejected from the staple cartridge. The second jaw is pivotable relative to the first jaw about a closure axis; however, other embodiments are envisioned in which first jaw is pivotable relative to the second jaw. The surgical stapling system further comprises an articulation joint configured to permit the end effector to be rotated, or articulated, relative to the shaft. The end effector is rotatable about an articulation axis extending through the articulation joint. Other embodiments are envisioned which do not include an articulation joint.
The staple cartridge comprises a cartridge body. The cartridge body includes a proximal end, a distal end, and a deck extending between the proximal end and the distal end. In use, the staple cartridge is positioned on a first side of the tissue to be stapled and the anvil is positioned on a second side of the tissue. The anvil is moved toward the staple cartridge to compress and clamp the tissue against the deck. Thereafter, staples removably stored in the cartridge body can be deployed into the tissue. The cartridge body includes staple cavities defined therein wherein staples are removably stored in the staple cavities. The staple cavities are arranged in six longitudinal rows. Three rows of staple cavities are positioned on a first side of a longitudinal slot and three rows of staple cavities are positioned on a second side of the longitudinal slot. Other arrangements of staple cavities and staples may be possible.
The staples are supported by staple drivers in the cartridge body. The drivers are movable between a first, or unfired position, and a second, or fired, position to eject the staples from the staple cavities. The drivers are retained in the cartridge body by a retainer which extends around the bottom of the cartridge body and includes resilient members configured to grip the cartridge body and hold the retainer to the cartridge body. The drivers are movable between their unfired positions and their fired positions by a sled. The sled is movable between a proximal position adjacent the proximal end and a distal position adjacent the distal end. The sled comprises a plurality of ramped surfaces configured to slide under the drivers and lift the drivers, and the staples supported thereon, toward the anvil.
Further to the above, the sled is moved distally by a firing member. The firing member is configured to contact the sled and push the sled toward the distal end. The longitudinal slot defined in the cartridge body is configured to receive the firing member. The anvil also includes a slot configured to receive the firing member. The firing member further comprises a first cam which engages the first jaw and a second cam which engages the second jaw. As the firing member is advanced distally, the first cam and the second cam can control the distance, or tissue gap, between the deck of the staple cartridge and the anvil. The firing member also comprises a knife configured to incise the tissue captured intermediate the staple cartridge and the anvil. It is desirable for the knife to be positioned at least partially proximal to the ramped surfaces such that the staples are ejected ahead of the knife.
An end effector can be configured to articulate relative to the handle and/or shaft of a surgical instrument. For example, the end effector can be pivotably and/or rotatably coupled to the shaft of the surgical instrument such that the end effector is configured to pivot relative to the shaft and the handle. In various instances, the end effector can be configured to articulate at an articulation joint located intermediate the end effector and the shaft. In other instances, the shaft can include a proximal portion, a distal portion, and an articulation joint, which can be located intermediate the proximal portion and the distal portion of the shaft, for example.

In certain instances, the staple cartridge 122 can be removably positioned in the end effector 120 and, in other instances, the staple cartridge 122 can be permanently fixed to and/or integrally formed with the end effector 120. In certain instances, the cartridge body 124 can include a rigid body having defined staples cavities 126. Additionally or alternatively, the cartridge body 124 can include a flexible and/or deformable portion, and staples may be embedded and/or partially embedded in the cartridge body 124.
A surgical instrument can include a flexible firing bar, which can extend through an articulation joint. In such instances, the flexible firing bar can be configured to bend or flex at the articulation joint when the end effector is in an articulated orientation. In at least one instance, the flexible firing bar can include a plurality of lateral layers or portions. The flexible firing bar can define an inside radius of curvature and an outside radius of curvature at the bend in the articulation joint. For example, the outside lateral portion of the flexible firing bar can extend along a first path that defines an outside radius of curvature within the articulation joint, and the inside lateral portion of the flexible firing bar can extend along a second path that defines an inside radius of curvature within the articulation joint. The outside radius of curvature of the firing bar can be greater than the inside radius of curvature. As a result, the inside lateral portion of the flexible firing bar may extend a greater distance proximally than the outside lateral portion of the flexible firing bar. The radius of curvature of each lateral portion, and thus the relative position of each lateral portion, can be a function of the degree in which the end effector has been articulated.
As the flexible firing bar flexes at the articulation joint, further to the above, the lateral portions can be configured to shift relative to each other. In various instances, the lateral portions can be coupled together at the distal end, such as by welding, for example. In such instances, the remaining length of each lateral portion, e.g., the non-coupled portions, can be free to shift and/or slide relative to the adjacent lateral portion(s).
In various instances, as the flexible firing bar flexes and the lateral portions shift, the proximal ends of some of the lateral portions can displace relative to the other lateral portions, for example. In certain instances, the proximal end of at least one lateral portion can be displaced distally and the proximal end of at least one lateral portion can be displaced proximally, for example. In still other instances, the proximal ends of each lateral portion can be displaced and/or pushed proximally, for example. The position of each lateral portion within the shaft and relative to the other lateral portions can depend on the articulation angle of the end effector.
In various instances, the flexible firing bar can be coupled to a firing rod or beam. The firing rod can be configured to transfer a firing force to the flexible firing bar. In certain instances, the firing rod can be configured to move a predefined distance to displace the flexible firing bar to a predefined distal-most position in the unarticulated end effector. However, when the end effector is articulated and the proximal ends of the lateral portion have been shifted, movement of the firing rod the predefined distance may not displace the flexible firing bar to the predefined distal-most position in the articulated end effector. Rather, when the end effector is articulated, the flexible firing bar may stop short of the predefined distal-most position if the firing rod is only displaced the predefined distance. Moreover, the distal position achieved by the flexible firing bar when the firing rod is displaced a predefined distance can depend on the degree in which the end effector is articulated.
As a result, when the end effector is articulated, a staple-deploying sled and/or a cutting edge driven through the staple cartridge by the flexible firing bar may not reach the same distal position relative to the distal end of the end effector. Rather, the firing system may stop advancing the sled and/or the cutting edge before the sled and/or the cutting edge reaches the distal position that would be reached if the end effector was unarticulated. Consequently, when the end effector is articulated, the cutting edge may not complete the cutting motion and/or the sled may not complete the firing motion and thus may not fire the staples from the distal-most staple cavities. In various instances, the degree of articulation of the end effector can affect the distal position reached by the flexible firing bar, the staple-deploying sled, and/or the cutting edge during a firing stroke.
In certain instances, to ensure the flexible firing bar, the staple-deploying sled, and/or the cutting edge reach their intended distal-most positions within the end effector, the firing stroke can be adjusted. For example, when the end effector is articulated, the firing stroke can be adjusted such that the firing rod is displaced a greater distance. In certain instances, the adjustment to the firing stroke can depend on the articulation angle of the end effector. For example, the displacement of the firing rod during an adjusted firing stroke can increase as the articulation angle of the end effector increases.

At the coupling 116, referring primarily now to
The flexible firing bar 118 includes a plurality of lateral portions or layers 128a, 128b, 128c, 128d. In various instances, the portions 128a, 128b, 128c, 128d can be held together and movable and/or shiftable relative to each other. For example, the lateral portions 128a, 128b, 128c, 128d can be fixed together at the distal end of the flexible firing bar 118. The portions 128a, 128b, 128c, 128d can be welded, formed together, fastened and/or otherwise secured together at the distal ends thereof, for example. At least a portion of the remaining length of the lateral portions 128a, 128b, 128c, 128d can be configured to move and/or shift relative to the adjacent lateral portion(s) 128a, 128b, 128c, 128d. For example, when the flexible firing bar 118 bends at the articulation joint 130, the lateral portions 128a, 128b, 128c, 128d can shift into a staggered and/or offset configuration between the bend in the articulation joint 130 and the proximal end of the flexible firing bar 118, as illustrated in

For example, referring primarily to
In certain instances, the shifted proximal end portion 140 of the flexible firing bar 118 and the firing bar portions 128a, 128b, 128c, 128d can ultimately effect the distal position reached by the flexible firing bar 118 during a firing stroke. For example, the distal position reachable by the flexible firing bar 118 during the firing stroke can change as the end effector 120 articulates. As a result, the distal position reached by a staple-deployment sled and/or cutting element during the firing stroke can also be shifted when the end effector 120 is in an articulated orientation.
In certain instances, it may be desirable to estimate the distance that the flexible-firing bar 118 can be displaced by the firing stroke based on calculations and/or approximations. Such calculations and/or approximations can be based on the degree in which the end effector has been articulated. In still other instances, it may be desirable to monitor and/or otherwise determine the position of the flexible firing bar 118 during the firing stroke. For example, at least one sensor at the distal end, proximal end, and/or intermediate portion of the flexible firing bar 118 can detect the displacement of the flexible firing bar 118 during the firing stroke and/or the shifting of the lateral portions 128a, 128b, 128c, 128d during an articulation motion. In various instances, a sensor can comprise a resistive sensor, inductive sensor, capacitance sensor, and/or a magnetic sensor, for example.
In various instances, it can be desirable to adjust the firing stroke length based on the position of the flexible firing bar 118 and/or the degree of articulation of the end effector 120. In various instances, a detection system and/or a sensor can be configured to detect the shifting of the lateral portions 128a, 128b, 128c, 128d of the flexible firing bar 118 to determine the degree of articulation of the end effector 120. In certain instances, the detection system and/or the sensor can be positioned proximal to the articulation joint 130. For example, the detection system and/or the sensor can be positioned within the shaft 110 at and/or near the proximal end 140 of the flexible firing bar 118 and/or the lateral portions 128a, 128b, 128c, 128d thereof. In still other instances, a detection system and/or a sensor can be configured to monitor the position of the flexible firing bar 118 during the firing stroke and adjust the firing stroke length based on the detected position of the flexible firing bar 118. For example, the detection system and/or the sensor can be positioned in the end effector 120 and/or distal to the articulation joint 130. In still other instances, such a sensor can be positioned in the shaft 110 of the surgical instrument 100 proximal to the articulation joint 130.
The surgical instrument 100 can include a sensor, such as a Hall effect sensor and/or a resistive contact, for example, which can be configured to detect shifting of the lateral portions 128a, 128b, 128c, 128d when the end effector 120 is articulated. As described herein, the amount of shifting can correspond to the degree in which the end effector 120 is articulated. A detection system 250 is depicted in

In certain instances, the portions 128a, 128b, 128c, 128d can include a ferrous material, for example, which can form the magnets of the detection system 250. For example, the ferrous material can be embedded in the lateral portions 128a, 128b, 128c, 128d, and/or can comprise a coating around a region of the lateral portions 128a, 128b, 128c, 128d.
Due to the arrangement of the various components of the detection system 250, the detection system 250 can be configured to detect the amount of firing bar stagger that occurs when the end effector 120 (
In various instances, the detection system 250 can be in communication with a controller, which can be configured to detect the articulation angle based on feedback from the Hall effect sensor 254. Additionally or alternatively, the controller can be configured to adjust the length of the firing stroke based on the calculated and/or estimated degree of end effector articulation based on the detected stagger and/or offsets between the portions 128a, 128b, 128c, 128d. In such instances, the controller can adjust the firing stroke length such that the flexible firing bar 118 reaches a predefined distal-most position in the end effector 120, i.e., the same predefined distal-most position that the firing bar 118 reaches when the end effector 120 is in an unarticulated position.
In various instances, an encoding system can be configured to detect and/or determine the degree of articulation of an end effector. For example, referring now to
In the depicted embodiment, each uneven section 352 includes a plurality of teeth 354. In other instances, each uneven section 352 can include a single tooth 354. Additionally or alternatively, at least one uneven section 352 can define a plurality of contours, angled portions, valleys and/or peaks. In certain instances, the teeth 354 can define contoured and/or rounded valleys and/or peaks, for example, such that the teeth 354 form a rolling and/or undulating profile, for example. In certain instances, two or more of the lateral portions 328a, 328b, 328c, 328d can include a uneven section 352. In some instances, each lateral portion 328a, 328b, 328c, 328d can include at least one uneven section 352. In various instances, at least two uneven sections 352 can define a different profile.

In various instances, the detection system 350 can be in communication with a controller which can be configured to detect the articulation angle of the end effector 120 based on feedback from the receiver 358. Additionally or alternatively, the controller can be configured to adjust the length of the firing stroke based on the detected stagger and/or offsets between the portions 328a, 328b, 328c, 328d, which are used to calculate and/or estimate the degree in which the end effector has been articulated. In such instances, the controller can adjust the firing stroke length such that the flexible firing bar 318 reaches a predefined distal-most position in the end effector, i.e., the same predefined distal-most position that the firing bar 118 reaches when the end effector 120 is in an unarticulated position.
In various instances, the encoding system 350 can include an optic, magnetic, and/or capacitive encoder, for example. In certain embodiments, the signal generator 356 can generate a wave, such as a light wave, radio wave, microwave, and/or x-ray, for example. In some instances the signal generator 356 can generate a plurality of laser signals, for example.
In certain instances, an electrically-conductive material can be configured to detect the amount of stagger between the lateral portions of a firing bar. Referring now to
The depicted band 450 includes a first end 452, which is a secured to the fourth portion 428d, and a second end 454, which is secured to the first portion 428a. As the portions 428a, 428b, 428c, 428d shift relative to each other when the end effector 120 is articulated, the band 450 can stretch to accommodate the staggered proximal ends of the portions 428a, 428b, 428c, 428d. For example, the band 450 can stretch as the end effector 120 is moved from an unarticulated orientation (
Referring still to
In other instances, the band 450 can extend around the perimeter of the flexible firing bar 418 proximal to the distal end 440. In still other instances, the band 450 can extend between adjacent lateral portions of the flexible firing bar 418, such as the inside portions 428b and 428c, for example. Additionally or alternatively, a plurality of flexible bands can be mounted to the flexible firing bar 418.
In various instances, the flexible band 450 can include an electrically-active polymer, for example. In such instances, as the flexible band 450 stretches, the electrically-active polymer can provide a signal that is indicative of the amount of band stretch, and thus, the amount of firing bar stagger. In other instances, the band 450 could be comprised of other conductive materials having different electrical characteristics reflective of the strain in the band.
In various instances, the flexible band 450 can be in communication with a controller, which can be configured to detect the articulation angle based on feedback from the band 450. For example, the strain in the band 450 can be a function of the degree in which the end effector is articulated. More particularly, the strain can correspond to the voltage potential, which can be detectable by the controller. For example, the controller can detect a greater voltage potential when the strain in the band 450 is greater, which corresponds to a larger articulation angle of the end effector 120. Moreover, if the end effector 120 is less articulated relative to the shaft 110, i.e., if the articulation angle of the end effector 120 is reduced, the controller can detect a reduced voltage potential, which corresponds to a reduced strain in the band 450. The adjustment to the firing stroke length can depend on the degree in which the end effector 120 has been articulated and can be independent of the direction of articulation. For example, when the end effector 120 has been articulated x° to the right or x° to the left, the firing stroke length can be increased by a distance z.
Additionally or alternatively, the controller can be configured to adjust the length of the firing stroke based on the detected stagger and/or offsets between the portions 428a, 428b, 428c, 428d, which are used to calculate and/or estimate the degree in which the end effector 120 has been articulated. In such instances, the controller can adjust the firing stroke length such that the flexible firing bar 418 reaches a predefined distal-most position in the end effector 120, i.e., the same predefined distal-most position that the firing bar 418 reaches when the end effector is in an unarticulated position.
In various instances, at least one Hall effect sensor positioned on a flexible firing bar can be configured to detect shifting of the lateral portions of the flexible firing bar. Referring now to
The depicted detection system 550 includes a magnet 552 and a Hall effect sensor 554. The magnet 552 and the Hall effect sensor 554 are located on opposite lateral sides of the flexible firing bar 518. For example, the magnet 552 can be positioned on an outside portion of the flexible firing bar 518, such as fourth portion 528d, for example, and the Hall effect sensor 554 can be positioned on the other outside portion of the flexible firing bar 518, such as first portion 528a, for example.
As the end effector 120 moves from an unarticulated orientation (
In certain instances, the detection system 550 can further include an electrically-conductive guide or contact slide 556. The contact slide 556 can be configured to guide and/or protect the Hall effect sensor 554 as the sensor 554 shifts in the shaft 110. In various instances, the contact slide 556 can be mounted to and/or formed on the firing rod 114. For example, the contact slide 556 can be defined on a surface of the firing rod 114 and/or along at least a portion the aperture 115.
In various instances, the contact slide 556 can provide power to the Hall effect sensor 554. For example, the contact slide 556 can be coupled to a power source and the Hall effect sensor 554. In such instances, the Hall effect sensor 554 can be configured to remain in sliding contact with the contact slide 556 as the end effector 120 moves from an unarticulated orientation to an articulated orientation. The detection system 550 can further include a second contact slide, which can provide a return path from the Hall effect sensor 554 to the remainder of the circuit. Additionally or alternatively, in instances where the magnet 552 requires power, a pair of contact slides can provide power to the magnet 552.
The degree in which the end effector 120 has been articulated can be based on the firing bar stagger detected by the detection system 550. Moreover, the detection system 550 can be in communication with the controller, which can adjust the length of the firing stroke based on the amount of firing bar stagger and the associated degree of end effector articulation. In such instances, the controller can adjust the firing stroke length such that the flexible firing bar 518 reaches a predefined distal-most position in the end effector 120, i.e., the same predefined distal-most position that the firing bar 518 reaches when the end effector is in an unarticulated position.

In certain instances, the contacts 752, 754 can comprise planar surfaces, which can shift into and/or out of alignment as the end effector 120 is articulated. In such instances, the varying alignment and/or overlap between the planar surfaces can correspond to a change in capacitance. For example, the capacitance can be greatest when the alignment between the planar contacts is the greatest. In other instances, one of the contacts 752, 754 can comprise a planar surface, for example.

Additionally or alternatively, the controller can be configured to adjust the length of the firing stroke based on the detected stagger and/or offsets between the portions 728a, 728b, 728c, 728d, which are used to calculate and/or estimate the degree in which the end effector has been articulated. In such instances, the controller can adjust the firing stroke length such that the flexible firing bar 718 reaches a predefined distal-most position in the end effector 120, i.e., the same predefined distal-most position that the firing bar 718 reaches when the end effector 120 is in an unarticulated position. The adjustment to the firing stroke length can depend on the degree in which the end effector 120 has been articulated and can be independent of the direction of articulation. For example, when the end effector 120 has been articulated x° to the right or x° to the left, the firing stroke length can be increased by a distance z.
In certain instances, a detection system can include at least one rotary encoder, which can be configured to detect the linear travel of a flexible firing bar. A detection system 850 is depicted in
In various instances, the rotatory encoder(s) 852, 854 can be configured to detect the linear displacement of the flexible firing bar 818 and/or portions 828a, 828b, 828c, and 828d thereof. For example, as the end effector 120 articulates, at least one rotary encoder 852, 854 can detect the displacement of the flexible firing bar 818 during the articulation motion.
In various instances, as depicted in
Additionally or alternatively, the detection system 850 can be configured to detect the linear displacement of the flexible firing bar 818 during the firing stroke. The detection system 850 can be positioned at and/or near the distal portion of the shaft 110 and/or distal to the articulation joint 130 (
In various instances, the rotary encoders 852, 854 can be configured to guide the flexible firing bar 818 when the end effector 120 is articulated and/or when the firing bar 818 is advanced distally during a firing stroke. For example, the rotary encoders 852, 854 can seek to prevent and/or restrain bowing and/or buckling of the flexible firing bar 818. The rotary encoders 852, 854 are positioned on opposite sides of the firing bar 818 and can apply a pinching force thereto which inhibits relative lateral movement between the lateral portions of the firing bar 818.
In various instances, the detection system 850 can be in communication with a controller which can be configured to detect the articulation angle of the end effector 120 based on feedback from the encoders 852, 854. Additionally or alternatively, the controller can be configured to adjust the length of the firing stroke of the firing bar 818 based on the detected stagger and/or offsets between the portions 828a, 828b, 828c, 828d, which is used to calculate and/or estimate the degree in which the end effector 120 has been articulated. In such instances, the controller can adjust the firing stroke length such that the flexible firing bar 818 reaches a predefined distal-most position in the end effector 120, i.e., the same predefined distal-most position that the firing bar 818 reaches when the end effector 120 is in an unarticulated position.
In certain instances, a detection system can include a laser, for example, which can be configured to detect shifting and/or staggering of the lateral portions of a flexible firing bar. Referring now to
As illustrated in
The detection system 950 depicted in
In various instances, the detection system 950 can be in communication with a controller. The controller can be configured to detect the articulation angle of the end effector 120 based on feedback from the detection system 950. Additionally or alternatively, the controller can be configured to adjust the length of the firing stroke based on the calculated and/or estimated degree of end effector articulation based on the detected stagger and/or offsets between the lateral portions. In such instances, the controller can adjust the firing stroke length such that the flexible firing bar 918 reaches a predefined distal-most position in the end effector 120, i.e., the same predefined distal-most position that the firing bar 918 reaches when the end effector 120 is in an unarticulated position.
With respect to the various detection systems disclosed herein, such as the detection systems 250, 350, 550, 650, 750, 850, and 950 and band 450, for example, a controller can be in communication with the detection system and can adjust the firing stroke length based on feedback from the detection system. For example, when the detection system detects a degree of articulation of the end effector, the firing stroke length can be extended to account for the degree of articulation. In various instances, the greater the degree of end effector articulation detected by the detection system, the more the firing stroke length can be extended. The adjustment to the firing stroke length can depend on the articulation angle of the end effector and can be independent of the direction of articulation. In various instances, the controller can include and/or communicate with a microprocessor having a lookup table. Such a lookup table can be integral to and/or accessible by the microprocessor. The lookup table can be stored in virtual memory or physical memory, for example. The lookup table can include a firing stroke adjustment amount for specific articulation angles and/or for specific firing bar stagger amounts. For example, for a given amount of stagger between two lateral portions of a flexible firing bar, the lookup table can indicate a suitable firing stroke adjustment length.
As described herein, in certain instances, it can be desirable to monitor the linear displacement of a flexible firing bar and/or the shifting of the lateral portions thereof to determine the degree in which the end effector has been articulated. Moreover, the firing stroke length of the firing bar can be adjusted to account for the changing position of the flexible firing bar and/or the portions thereof when the end effector has been articulated. Additionally or alternatively, it can be desirable to provide a relief feature that is configured to absorb and/or otherwise account for changes in the firing stroke length. Such a relief feature can be positioned in the shaft and/or the end effector of a surgical instrument, for example.
If the firing stroke length is not adjusted to account for the articulation angle of the end effector, the flexible firing bar will extend farther distally for a given firing stroke length when the end effector is unarticulated compared to when the end effector is articulated. The distal-most position of the flexible firing bar during a firing stroke will change as the articulation angle changes. For example, for a given firing stroke length, the flexible firing bar will stop at a more proximal distal-most position when the end effector is articulated compared to when the end effector is unarticulated. Moreover, for a given firing stroke length, the flexible firing bar will stop at a more distal distal-most position when the end effector is less articulated compared to when the end effector is more articulated.
To ensure the flexible firing bar, staple-deploying sled, and/or cutting edge at least reach their intended distal-most positions within the end effector even when the end effector is fully articulated, the firing stroke length can be selected such that the flexible firing bar extends to the desired distal-most position when the end effector is fully articulated. As a result, the flexible firing bar would extend distally past the desired distal-most position when the end effector is partially articulated or unarticulated. In such instances, the staple-deploying sled and/or other elements of the firing system may collide with the distal end wall of the staple cartridge. To reduce the effect and/or at least partially absorb the impact of the collision, a relief feature can engage the firing system.
In various instances, a relief feature can be placed in the shaft of a surgical instrument. For example, a relief feature can be positioned at the coupling between a firing rod and a flexible firing bar. Such a relief feature can be configured to absorb and/or conform to changes in the firing stroke length when an end effector of the surgical instrument is moved to an articulated orientation. For example, the relief feature can be comprised of a flexible, deformable and/or elastic material.

In the depicted embodiment, the stroke compensation member or relief joint 1050 is positioned in the coupling 1016 intermediate the firing rod 114 and a proximal end portion 1040 of the flexible firing bar 1018. The relief joint 1050 can be configured to deform as the proximal end 1040 of the flexible firing bar 1018 is pushed and/or displaced proximally. For example, the proximal end 1040 of the flexible firing bar 1018 and/or portions thereof can be shifted proximally when the end effector 120 is articulated. As the flexible firing bar 1018 moves proximally, the proximal end 1040 can compress the relief joint 1050.
In various instances, the relief joint 1050 can be comprised of a flexible, deformable, and/or elastic material. For example, the relief joint 1050 can be comprised of a material having a lower durometer hardness than the flexible firing bar 1018 and/or the proximal end 1040 thereof. Additionally or alternatively, the relief joint 1050 can be comprised of a material having a lower durometer hardness than the firing rod 114.

In certain instances, the flexible firing bar 1018 can include a plurality of lateral portions 1028a, 1028b, 1028c, and 1028d. Referring to
As described herein, in certain instances, the firing stroke can be adjusted and/or modified such that the flexible firing bar 1018 reaches a predefined distal-most position in the end effector 120 when the end effector 120 is fully articulated. In certain instances, the firing stroke can be adjusted and/or modified regardless of the degree in which the end effector 120 has been articulated. In such instances, the flexible firing bar 1018 can be advanced distally beyond the predefined distal-most position in the end effector 120 when the end effector 120 is only partially articulated and/or unarticulated. Moreover, when the end effector 120 is only partially articulated and/or unarticulated, the flexible firing bar 1018 can drive a sled distally into abutting contact with the distal end of the end effector 120 during a firing motion. In such instances, the relief joint 1010 can at least partially absorb the impact of a collision between the sled and the distal end of the end effector 120.
Further to the above, the relief joint 1050 can be comprised of an elastic material which can compress and/or deform to absorb and/or accommodate proximal displacement of the flexible firing bar 1018. In certain instances, the relief joint 1050 can comprise a spring and/or spring-like feature, for example. Additionally or alternatively, the relief joint 1050 can comprise a friction-slip feature, such as a clutch and/or damper, for example.
As discussed above, the relief joint 1050 can be positioned at the proximal end 1040 of the flexible firing bar 1018. Additionally or alternatively, a relief feature can be positioned at the distal end of the flexible firing bar 1018. For example, such a relief feature could be positioned between the distal end of the flexible firing bar 1018 and a sled and/or a firing member in the end effector 120 (

The relief feature 1150 is positioned intermediate the firing member 1154 and the sled 1158. In at least one instance, the relief feature 1150 can be coupled to the sled 1158 by a tongue-and-groove engagement. As depicted in
In certain instances, the relief feature 1150 can be integrally formed with the sled 1158. In various instances, the relief feature 1150 can be initially positioned at the proximal end of the staple cartridge 1122, and can be driven distally as the firing member 1154 advances the sled 1158 during a firing stroke, for example. In some instances, the firing member 1154 can drive the relief feature 1150 into engagement with the sled 1154 during the firing stroke. In certain instances, the relief feature 1150 can be coupled to the firing member 1154, for example. In other instances, the relief feature 1150 can be freely movable in the longitudinal slot 1152. For example, the relief feature 1150 can be positioned between the firing member 1154 and the sled 1158, however, the relief feature 1150 may not be coupled to either the firing member 1154 or the sled 1158, for example.
In various instances, the relief feature 1150 can be comprised of a flexible, deformable, and/or elastic material. For example, the relief feature 1150 can be comprised of a material having a lower durometer hardness than the firing member 1154 and/or the sled 1158. In such instances, the relief feature 1150 can be configured to at least partially absorb and/or accommodate distal translation and/or displacement of the firing member 1154. For example, the relief feature 1150 can act as a soft stop and/or brake. In such instances, the relief feature 1150 can initially slow and/or resist distal displacement of the firing member 1154. Moreover, if the firing member 1154 continues to be advanced distally, the relief feature 1150 can stop and/or prevent further distal displacement of the firing member 1154. As described herein, in various instances, the flexible firing bar 1118 can be advanced distally beyond the predefined distal-most position in the end effector 120 when the end effector 120 is only partially articulated and/or unarticulated. Moreover, when the end effector 120 is only partially articulated and/or unarticulated, the flexible firing bar 1118 can drive the sled 1158 distally into abutting contact with the distal end of the end effector 120 during a firing motion. In such instances, the relief feature 1150 can at least partially absorb the impact of a collision between the sled 1158 and the distal end of the end effector 120.

In various instances, the staple cartridge 1122 can comprise a tissue stop 1160 which can be aligned with the cutting edge 1156 of the firing member 1154. In various instances, the cutting edge 1156 can be configured to engage the cutting stop 1160, and can facilitate relief and/or absorption of energy during a firing stroke. In certain instances, the tissue stop 1160 can extend from the deck 1124 and overlie and/or obstruct at least a portion of the longitudinal slot 1152. In certain instances, the tissue stop 1160 can be comprised of a flexible, deformable, and/or elastic material. Additionally or alternatively, the tissue stop 1160 can be frangible. In still other instances, the tissue stop 1160 can act like a hard stop to prevent further distal displacement of the cutting edge 1156. The entire disclosure of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 14/512,637, entitled STAPLE CARTRIDGE, which was filed on Oct. 13, 2014 is incorporated by reference herein.
In certain instances, a firing bar stop can be incorporated into an end effector and/or a shaft of a surgical instrument. The firing bar stop can be configured to limit travel of a firing bar during a firing stroke. For example, a firing bar stop can include a catch or lockout positioned in the end effector and/or shaft that is structured and positioned to engage the flexible firing bar during the firing stroke. Such a lockout can engage the firing bar during a portion of the firing stroke to restrain and/or prevent further distal travel of the firing bar. In certain instances, the firing bar stop can be configured to shift relative to the shaft and/or the end effector when the end effector is moved to an articulated orientation relative to the shaft. The shifted position of the firing bar can depend on the degree in which the end effector has been articulated. As a result, the firing bar stop can engage and restrain the flexible firing bar at different positions relative to the shaft, and the position can be based on the degree in which the end effector has been articulated.
A firing bar stop 1658 is depicted in a surgical instrument 1600 illustrated in
For a given firing stroke length, the flexible firing bar 1618 will extend farther distally when the end effector 1620 is unarticulated compared to when the end effector 1620 is articulated, as described herein. Moreover, the distal-most position of the flexible firing bar 1618 will change as the articulation angle changes. Stated differently, for a given firing stroke length, the flexible firing bar 1618 will stop at a more proximal distal-most position when the end effector 1620 is articulated compared to when the end effector 1620 is unarticulated. Additionally, for a given firing stroke length, the flexible firing bar 1618 will stop at a more distal distal-most position when the end effector 1620 is less articulated compared to when the end effector 1620 is more articulated.

The firing bar stop 1658 can be configured to engage the flexible firing bar 1618 to restrain further distal displacement of the firing bar 1618 during a firing stroke. In certain instances, the firing bar stop 1658 can engage the flexible firing bar 1618 during a distal portion of the firing stoke. The firing bar stop 1658 can be configured to shift based on the degree in which the end effector 1620 is articulated. In other words, the firing bar stop 1658 can engage the flexible firing bar 1618 during different portions of the firing stroke depending on the degree in which the end effector 1620 has been articulated. The firing bar stop 1658 can form a relief member which accommodates for an overstroke of the flexible firing bar.
The firing bar stop 1658 can be configured to account for the change in distance to the desired distal-most position in the end effector 1620. More particularly, the firing bar stop 1658 can be configured to engage and restrain the flexible firing bar 1618 at a more distal position when the end effector 1620 is unarticulated, and can be configured to engage and restrain the flexible firing bar 1618 at a more proximal position when the end effector 1620 is articulated. In various instances, the firing stroke length can be selected such that the flexible firing bar 1618 reaches the desired distal-most positioned when the end effector 1620 is fully articulated. In such instances, the firing bar stop 1658 can be configured to prevent the staple-deploying sled and/or other elements of the firing system from colliding with the distal end wall of the staple cartridge 1622 when the end effector 1620 is less than fully articulated.

For example, the relief member 1250 can block and/or obstruct a distal portion of the longitudinal slot 1284. In certain instances, the pathway of the foot 1280 of the firing member can be blocked by the relief member 1250. The relief member 1250 can be attached and/or integrally formed with the channel 1282, for example. In certain instances, the relief member 1250 can be welded and/or fastened to the channel 1282.
In various instances, the relief member 1250 can form a bridge across the longitudinal slot 1284. Referring to

Additionally or alternatively, the relief feature 1250 can be frangible. For example, the relief feature 1250 can be designed and/or structured to break when the base 1280 is advanced distally into and/or past the relief feature 1250. In certain instances, the relief feature 1250 can slow and/or absorb at least a portion of the force of the foot 1280 prior to breaking.
As described herein, stroke length relief features in a staple cartridge, end effector and/or shaft of a surgical instrument can be configured to deform, compress, and/or break to absorb at least a portion of the firing force and/or to stop further advancement of the firing member during a firing stroke. In other instances, a relief feature can include a predefined pathway, channel and/or opening in the staple cartridge. Such a relief feature can accommodate an overstroke of the firing member. An overstroke of the firing member can occur when the firing stroke of the firing member is not adjusted to account for the degree in which the end effector 120 has been articulated, for example.

As described herein, the articulation of an end effector can affect the firing path of a flexible firing bar in the shaft and/or the end effector of a surgical instrument. Moreover, the articulation of an end effector can change the distal-most position of a firing element during a firing stroke. In various instances, a controller can adjust the firing stroke length of the firing bar such that the firing element is stopped at the same spot regardless of the articulation angle of the end effector. In other instances, an end effector and/or firing system can include a relief member configured to absorb and/or accommodate changes in the distal-most position of the firing element.
In various instances, the firing stroke, e.g., the distance traveled by the firing rod 114 (see, e.g.,
In certain instances, the distal-most position of the firing element may be shifted proximally when the end effector is in an articulated orientation. For example, a component of the firing system, such as a flexible firing bar, for example, may be inclined to bow outward when the end effector is in an articulated orientation. In such instances, outward bowing of the flexible firing beam may shift the distal-most position of the firing element proximally, thereby resulting in a need for a longer firing stroke of the firing bar when the end effector has been articulated.

Referring still to the staple cartridge 1422′, the foot 1480 can extend distally to the third step 1453 which is positioned proximal to the first step 1451, when the end effector has been articulated. The third step 1453 is the proximal-most step. Accordingly, when the end effector is articulated, translation of the foot 1480 can be stopped and/or otherwise restrained at a more proximal position than when the end effector 120 (
In the depicted embodiment, the foot 1480 is restrained by the proximal-most step 1453 when the end effector is articulated 75°, for example. In other instances, the foot 1480 may be restrained by the proximal-most step 1453 when the end effector is articulated less than or more than 75°. Moreover, in other instances, the distal stop 1450 can include an suitable number of steps. In some instances, the distal stop 1450 can include two steps, for example.
In certain instances, the distal stop 1450 can comprise a hard stop, which can abruptly brake and/or stop the distal progression of the foot 1480. In other instances, a hard stop can be proximal to the articulation joint as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 7,658,311, entitled SURGICAL STAPLING INSTRUMENT WITH A GEARED RETURN MECHANISM, which issued on Feb. 9, 2010, the entire disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference herein. In still other instances, the distal stop 1450 can comprise a soft stop, which can initially slow the distal progression of the foot 1480 and may ultimately stop the distal progression of the foot 1480. In at least one instance, the distal stop 1450 can be comprised of a flexible, deformable, and/or elastic material. Additionally or alternatively, the distal stop 1450 can be frangible and can be configured to break when a predefined force is applied thereto, for example.
As described herein, the articulation of a surgical end effector can affect the distal-most position of a flexible firing bar, a cutting element, and/or a wedge sled, for example. In certain instances, when the end effector is moved to an articulated orientation, the flexible firing bar, the cutting element, and/or the wedge sled can stop at a position that is proximal to the distal-most position when the end effector is unarticulated. In such instances, the arc and/or curvature of the flexible firing bar and firing path thereof can effectively shorten the firing stroke. In certain instances, as discussed above, the firing stroke length can be adjusted to take into account the articulation of the end effector. In some instances, the surgical instrument can include a relief feature that is configured to absorb and/or other accommodate at least a portion of the firing stroke.
In still other instances, the firing path of the flexible firing bar can be adjusted to account for the articulation of the end effector and effective change in the firing stroke length. For example, the flexible firing bar can be biased and/or guided along a firing path that defines a shorter distance to the distal-most position in the end effector. In certain instances, the adjusted firing path can inhibit and/or resist outward bowing of the flexible firing bar and/or can urge inward shifting and/or bending of the flexible firing bar, for example.

An end effector assembly 3100 is depicted in
Various embodiments discussed herein utilize changes in electrical resistance, capacitance, and/or inductance within an electrical circuit to determine the location of a firing assembly within an end effector. By sensing the change in electrical resistance within a circuit that occurs due to the movement of the firing assembly through the end effector, for example, the position of the firing assembly can be determined. Referring to
Portions of the firing assembly 3150 can be conductive for the purpose of providing a second electrical path between the resistive elements 3105 and the microprocessor of the firing progress detection circuit. In at least one such instance, the second electrical path can extend through the firing member 3153, for example. In other instances, the second electrical path can extend through the second jaw 3120. As the firing assembly 3150 progresses through the end effector 3100 toward the distal end 3102, the parallel circuit segments including the resistive elements 3105 are sequentially closed by the firing assembly 3150 and, as a result, the resistive elements 3105 are sequentially added to the electrical path experienced by the firing assembly 3150. When the resistive elements 3105 are added to the electrical path created by the firing assembly 3150, the electrical resistance of the firing progress detection circuit increases. This change in electrical resistance can be detected by measuring the resistance and/or voltage drop between the first electrical path and the second electrical path. The resistance measured can be related to the distance traveled by the firing assembly 3150. The resistance of the firing progress detection circuit will increase as the firing assembly 3150 is advanced distally. Correspondingly, the resistance of the firing progress detection circuit will decrease as the firing member 3150 is retracted proximally.
The resistive elements 3105 provide discrete increases in resistance to the firing progress detection circuit when the parallel circuit segments including the resistive elements 3105 are contacted and closed by the firing assembly 3150. In various instances, further to the above, a parallel circuit segment can remain closed as the firing assembly 3150 is advanced distally. Thus, a first parallel circuit segment can be closed by the firing assembly 3150 and remain closed as the firing assembly 3150 closes a second parallel circuit segment and a third parallel circuit segment and so forth. The closure of the parallel circuit segments can demark waypoints during the firing progression of the firing member. The combination of the closed parallel circuit segments can provide the firing progress detection circuit with a unique and identifiable resistance that corresponds to a specific position, or range of positions, of the firing assembly 3150. In other instances, a parallel circuit segment can be closed by the firing assembly 3150 and then re-opened as the firing assembly 3150 is advanced distally thereby. Such an arrangement can provide a momentary pulse to the microprocessor indicating that the firing assembly 3150 has reached a waypoint. In at least one such instance, the parallel circuit segments can each have different resistances thereby providing the firing progress detection circuit with a unique and identifiable resistance that corresponds to a specific position, or range of positions, of the firing assembly 3150. For instance, a first parallel circuit segment can have a first resistance and a second parallel circuit segment can have a second resistance which is different than the first resistance, and so forth.
In addition to the resistive elements 3105, or as an alternative, the firing progress detection circuit can include a potentiometer, for example, configured to track the firing progress of the firing assembly 3150. In such instances, the resistance of the firing progress detection circuit can increase continuously as the firing member 3150 is advanced distally. Correspondingly, the resistance of the firing progress detection circuit can decrease continuously as the firing member 3150 is retracted proximally. A continuous change in resistance can be provided by a longitudinal resistive member positioned within the first jaw 3110 and/or the second jaw 3120. The firing assembly 3150 is configured to contact the longitudinal resistive member along the length of the end effector 3100. The resistance experienced by the firing assembly may vary linearly as the firing assembly 3150 progresses through the end effector 3100. As the firing member 3153 progresses distally, the total length of the resistive member in contact with the firing assembly 3150 increases. The increase in length changes the electrical resistance of the firing progress detection circuit which can be detected and evaluated by the microprocessor. In various instances, measuring the change in resistance of the firing progress detection circuit can provide position, velocity, and/or acceleration feedback of the firing assembly 3150.

Further to the above, the surgical instrument can comprise a control system including a microprocessor configured to detect when the firing member assembly 3150 has bottomed out in the end effector 3100. In at least one instance, the firing member assembly 3150 can be driven by an electric motor and the microprocessor can be configured to monitor the power draw of the electric motor. In at least one such instance, the microprocessor can monitor the current drawn by the electric motor, for example. When the control system detects an increase in the power drawn by the electric motor sufficient to indicate that the firing member assembly 3150 has bottomed out, the control system can interrupt the power supply to the electric motor and/or reverse the polarity of the voltage applied to the firing member assembly 3150. In addition to or in lieu of the above, the end effector assembly 3100 can include a sensor, such as sensor 3106, for example, which can detect when the firing member assembly 3150 has reached the end of its firing stroke. The sensor 3106 can comprise a proximity sensor and/or a Hall Effect sensor, for example. In any event, the control system can include means for generating haptic feedback in the handle of the surgical instrument to indicate to the user of the surgical instrument that the firing member assembly 3150 has reached the end of its firing stroke. In various instances, the haptic feedback can be generated by an electric motor comprising an imbalanced rotor, for example. By positioning the bottom out location 3162 distal to the articulation joint 3130, the furthest position that the firing assembly 3150 may travel is linked to the distal end 3102 of the end effector 3100, regardless of the angle in which the articulation joint 3130 is articulated.
An end effector assembly 3200 is depicted in
The end effector assembly 3200 further comprises a distal sensor 3224b and a proximal sensor 3254a. The distal sensor 3224b is configured to detect the position of the second jaw 3220 and/or the position of the firing assembly 3250. The proximal sensor 3254a is configured to detect the position of the firing assembly 3250. The distal sensor 3224b and the proximal sensor 3254a comprise Hall Effect sensors, for example. The distal sensor 3224b is positioned at the distal end 3202 of the end effector 3200 on the second jaw 3220. The proximal sensor 3254a is positioned on the firing assembly 3250 and is configured to travel between the proximal end 3201 of the end effector 3200 and the distal end 3202 in conjunction with the firing assembly 3250. The staple cartridge 3212 further comprises a distal detectable element 3214b and a proximal detectable element 3214a. The detectable elements 3214a, 3214b may be at least partially comprised of a ferrous material, for example. In various instances, the detectable elements 3214a, 3214b can comprise permanent magnets and/or electromagnets, for example. In any event, the detectable elements 3214a, 3214b are detectable by the sensors 3254a, 3224b. The proximal detectable element 3214a is positioned within the staple cartridge 3212 at the proximal end 3201 of the end effector 3200, for example. The distal detectable element 3214b is positioned within the staple cartridge 3212 at the distal end 3202 of the end effector 3200, for example.
When the staple cartridge 3212 is positioned in the end effector 3200, the detectable elements 3214a, 3214b of the staple cartridge 3212 may provide the sensors 3254a, 3224b of the surgical instrument with an initial signal configuration. The initial signal configuration may be communicated to a microprocessor of the surgical instrument control system immediately following the installation of the staple cartridge 3212 into the end effector 3200. In various instances, the surgical instrument can include a cartridge presence sensor configured to detect whether a staple cartridge has been positioned in the end effector 3200. The cartridge presence sensor is also in signal communication with the microprocessor of the control system. When the microprocessor determines that a staple cartridge is not positioned in the end effector 3200, the microprocessor may not perform a signal evaluation of the sensors 3254a, 3224b, and when the microprocessor determines that a staple cartridge is positioned in the end effector 3200, the microprocessor can perform an initial signal evaluation of the sensors 3254a, 3224b.
As part of performing an initial signal evaluation of the sensors 3254a, 3224b, the microprocessor can identify the type of staple cartridge 3212 positioned in the end effector 3200. More specifically, each type of staple cartridge that can be used with the end effector 3200 can comprise a unique arrangement of the detectable elements 3214a and/or 3214b which can create a unique magnetic field array which is detectable by the sensors 3254a and/or 3224b and identifiable by the microprocessor of the control system. For example, the detectable element 3214a may generate a first magnetic field intensity for a first type of staple cartridge and a second magnetic field intensity for a second type of staple cartridge, and so forth, which can be detected by the sensor 3254a during the initial evaluation of the sensor signals. In various instances, the firing system 3250 can be held in a predetermined, or datum, position during the initial evaluation of the sensor signals such that the staple cartridge positioned in the end effector 3200 can be reliably identified. In any event, the microprocessor can access a lookup table and, using the value of the magnetic field intensity detected during the initial signal evaluation, determine the correct operating program for the surgical instrument to properly fire the staple cartridge positioned in the end effector 3200. The lookup table can be stored in virtual memory and/or physical memory. Such memory may be accessible by and/or integral with the microprocessor.
The position of the second jaw 3220 can be monitored to determine if the second jaw 3220 is in a position to deform the staples when the staples are ejected from the staple cartridge 3212. The distal detectable element 3214b is positioned such that the signal detected by the distal sensor 3224b is related to the position of the second jaw 3220 relative to the first jaw 3210. Stated another way, the distance between the distal sensor 3224b and the distal detectable element 3214b affects the magnitude of the magnetic field detected by the distal sensor 3224b. When the second jaw 3220 is in an open position, the distal sensor 3224b will detect a first intensity of the magnetic field produced by the distal detectable element 3214b. When the second jaw 3220 is in a fully-closed position, the distal sensor 3224b will detect a second intensity of the magnetic field produced by the distal detectable element 3214b. As the reader will appreciate, the second intensity detected by the distal sensor 3224b is larger than the first field intensity because the distal sensor 3224b is closer to the distal detectable element 3214b when the second jaw 3220 is in its fully-closed position.
Further to the above, the intensity of the magnetic field detected by the distal sensor 3224b can be utilized by the microprocessor to determine the position of the second jaw 3220 relative to the first jaw 3210. If the microprocessor determines that the second jaw 3220 has not been sufficiently closed to properly form the staples when they are ejected from the staple cartridge 3212, the microprocessor can prevent the distal advancement of the firing system 3250. In at least one such instance, the microprocessor may not permit power to be supplied to the electric motor configured to drive the firing system 3250. If the microprocessor determines that the second jaw 3220 has been sufficiently closed to properly form the staples when they are ejected from the staple cartridge 3212, the microprocessor can advance the firing system 3250 distally when commanded to do so by a firing actuator operated by the user of the surgical instrument, for example. In various instances, the microprocessor may prevent the firing system 3250 from being advanced distally when the magnetic field intensity detected by the distal sensor 3224b is in a first range and, correspondingly, permit the firing system 3250 to be advanced distally when the magnetic field intensity detected by the distal sensor 3224b is in a second range.
In addition to or in lieu of the above, the position of the firing system 3250 can be monitored by the proximal sensor 3254a and/or the distal sensor 3224b as the firing system 3250 progresses from the proximal end 3201 of the end effector 3200 to the distal end 3202. When the firing system 3250 is in its unfired position, referring to
As discussed above, the proximal sensor 3254a is in signal communication with a microprocessor of the surgical instrument control system. Further to the above, the microprocessor can access another lookup table and, using the value of the first magnetic field intensity detected by the proximal sensor 3254a, assess the position of the firing system 3250 positioned in the end effector 3200. Similar to the above, the lookup table can be stored in virtual memory and/or physical memory. Such memory may be accessible by and/or integral with the microprocessor. In at least one instance, the lookup table can comprise an array of magnetic field values which are arranged in a sequential order which corresponds to the distal progression of the firing system 3250. The microprocessor can compare the magnitude of the first magnetic field intensity detected by the proximal sensor 3254a and compare that value to the array of values in the lookup table. In some instances, the microprocessor can compare the current, or most-recently acquired, value to the array in addition to comparing one or more previously-obtained values to the array. The lookup table can further include an array of position values which is linked to the array of magnetic field intensity values and can indicate the position of the firing system 3250 to the microprocessor.
As the firing system 3250 is advanced distally, referring to
As outlined above, the proximal sensor 3254a can be configured to detect the magnetic field generated by the proximal detectable element 3214a to determine the position of the firing system 3250. Alternatively, the proximal sensor 3254a can be configured to detect the magnetic field generated by the distal detectable element 3214b to determine the position of the firing system 3250. Such alternatives are possible when only one of the detectable elements 3214a, 3214b are emitting a magnetic field during the firing stroke of the firing system 3250. In at least one such embodiment, at least one of the detectable elements 3214a, 3214b can comprise an electromagnet which can be deactivated during the firing stroke of the firing system 3250 such that the electromagnet is no longer producing a sufficiently detectable magnetic field. In various instances, however, both detectable elements 3214a, 3214b produce a magnetic field during the firing stroke of the firing system 3250, especially when the detectable elements 3214a, 3214b comprise permanent magnets, for example. In such instances, the proximal sensor 3254a may detect the first magnetic field produced by the proximal detectable element 3214a and the second magnetic field produced by the distal detectable element 3214b at the same time. Thus, the overall magnetic field detected by the proximal sensor 3254a from the first magnetic field and the second magnetic field can be evaluated and compared to an array of magnetic field values that takes the combined magnetic field into account.
An end effector assembly 3300 is depicted in
The proximal end of the end effector 3300 comprises a channel retainer 3360. The channel retainer 3360, shown in
The sensors 3368a, 3368b are in signal communication with a microprocessor of the surgical instrument control system which is configured to receive and interpret the signals generated by the sensors 3368a, 3368b. The first sensor 3368a can transmit a first signal to the microprocessor. The first signal can comprise a series of pulses which corresponds to the sensor 3368a sensing the features 3356a-d. For example, the first sensor 3368a can transmit a high voltage potential across a first circuit in communication with an input channel of the microprocessor when the first sensor 3368a detects a feature 3356a-d positioned adjacent the first sensor 3368a and a low voltage potential across the first circuit when the first sensor 3368a does not detect a feature 3356a-d adjacent the first sensor 3368a. Similarly, the second sensor 3368a can transmit a high voltage potential across a second circuit in communication with an input channel of the microprocessor when the second sensor 3368b detects a feature 3357a-d positioned adjacent the second sensor 3368b and a low voltage potential across the second circuit when the second sensor 3368b does not detect a feature 3357a-d adjacent the second sensor 3368b. The microprocessor can count the pulses sent by the sensors indicating that a feature has passed a sensor and, based on that count, assess the position of the firing member 3353 during its firing stroke. In certain instances, the microprocessor can maintain a first count of the features 3356a-d that have passed the first sensor 3368a and a separate, second, count of the features 3356a-d that have passed the second sensor 3368b. In other instances, the microprocessor can maintain a combined count of the features 3356a-d and 3357a-d that have been sensed. In either event, the microprocessor can count the features 3356a-d and 3357a-d that have passed by the sensors 3368a and 3368b to determine whether the firing member 3353 has reached the end of its stroke.
In various instances, only one set of features 3356a-d and 3357a-d and one sensor 3368a and 3368b may be needed to determine the position of the firing member 3353. A single set of features may provide the microprocessor with an array of data which can be linked to another array of data which corresponds to the position of the firing member 3353. Utilizing a plurality of feature sets and sensors, however, provides the microprocessor with a matrix of data which can be linked to an array of data which corresponds to the position of the firing member 3353. Such a matrix of data is illustrated in
The features 3356a-d and 3357a-d can comprise any suitable features which can be detected by the sensors 3368a and 3368b, respectively. In various instances, the features 3356a-d and 3357a-d can comprise magnetic elements and the sensors 3368a and 3368b can comprise Hall Effect sensors which can detect the magnetic elements, for example. In certain instances, the features 3356a-d and 3357a-d can comprise reflective elements and the sensors 3368a and 3368b can each comprise a signal emitter and receiver, for example. In at least one instance, the features 3356a-d and 3357a-d can comprise through holes. In at least one such instance, the sensors 3368a and 3368b can comprise optical sensors configured to detect a change in the color and/or reflectivity of the firing member 3353 as the features 3356a-d and 3357a-d pass by the sensors 3368a and 3368b, respectively. In certain instances, the sensors 3368a and 3368b can be configured to detect laser signals emitted from the opposite side of the firing member 3353, for example. In any event, the features 3356a-d can be positioned at regular intervals along the first row 3355a, for example. Similarly, the features 3357a-d can be positioned at regular intervals along the second row 3355b, for example. The microprocessor can be configured to evaluate the rate in which the features 3356a-d and/or the features 3357a-d are detected by the first sensor 3368a and the second sensor 3368b, respectively. In such instances, the microprocessor can also evaluate the speed, velocity and/or acceleration of the firing member 3353.
When the features 3356a-d and 3357a-d of the firing member 3353 comprise through holes, the through holes can comprise any suitable geometry, such as a circular geometry, for example. Turning now to
An elongate channel 3610 is depicted in
In various instances, further to the above, each resistance region 3771, 3772, 3773, and 3774 is comprised of an electrically-conductive material. In at least one such instance, the first resistance region 3771 is comprised of a first electrically-conductive material, the second resistance region 3772 is comprised of a second electrically-conductive material, the third resistance region 3773 is comprised of a third electrically-conductive material, and the fourth resistance region 3774 is comprised of a fourth electrically-conductive material. In various instances, the first material, the second material, the third material, and the fourth material are different electrically-conductive materials having different resistivities, for example. In certain instances, the first material, the second material, the third material, and/or the fourth material can be comprised of the same electrically-conductive material when the resistance regions having the same electrically-conductive material are not adjacent to each other. In any event, the resistance regions 3771, 3772, 3773, and 3774 are part of a firing progress detection circuit. The firing progress detection circuit further comprises a first conductor in communication with a first side of the layer 3770 and a second conductor in communication with a second side of the layer 3770. The first conductor and the second conductor are in communication with a microprocessor which can detect and evaluate the resistance of the firing progress detection circuit, as described in greater detail further below.
The resistance regions 3771, 3772, 3773, and 3774 of the layer 3770 can correspond to different positions of the cutting member 3752 and, correspondingly, different positions of the firing assembly 3750. The cutting member 3752 is movable through a firing stroke between a proximal, unadvanced position and a distal, fully-advanced position. When the cutting member 3752 is in its proximal, unadvanced position, the cutting member 3752 is in contact with the first resistance region 3771. Such a position can be referred to as a ‘home’ position of the cutting member 3752. When the cutting member 3752 is in contact with the first resistance region 3771, the firing progress detection circuit can have a first resistance which can be detected by the microprocessor. In such instances, the firing progress detection circuit can include the first conductor, the first side of the first resistance region 3771, the cutting member 3752, the second side of the first resistance region 3771, and the second conductor. When the microprocessor detects that the firing progress detection circuit has the first resistance, the microprocessor can determine that the cutting member 3752 is in its proximal-most position and that a full firing stroke is needed to completely fire the staples from the staple cartridge. While the first resistance of the firing progress detection circuit may comprise a specific first resistance, in various instances, it may also be inclusive of a first range of resistances.
When the cutting member 3752 is advanced distally from its home position, the cutting member 3752 can move out of contact with the first resistance region 3771 and into contact with the second resistance region 3772. Such a position can be referred to as the ‘lockout’ position of the cutting member 3752. The lockout position of the cutting member 3752 is the furthest distal position in which the cutting member 3752 can be advanced if an unexpended staple cartridge is not positioned in the first jaw 3710. When the cutting member 3752 is in contact with the second resistance region 3772, the firing progress detection circuit can have a second resistance which can be detected by the microprocessor. In such instances, the firing progress detection circuit can include the first conductor, the first side of the second resistance region 3772, the cutting member 3752, the second side of the second resistance region 3772, and the second conductor. When the microprocessor detects that the firing progress detection circuit has the second resistance, the microprocessor can determine that the cutting member 3752 is in its lockout position and that the cutting member 3752 may be blocked from being advanced distally if an unspent staple cartridge is not positioned in the first jaw 3710. In various instances, as a result, the microprocessor may operate an electric motor which drives the firing assembly 3750 distally at a reduced speed when moving the cutting member 3752 distally from the second resistance region 3772 to the third resistance region 3773 in the event that the cutting member 3752 contacts the lockout. While the second resistance of the firing progress detection circuit may comprise a specific second resistance, in various instances, it may also be inclusive of a second range of resistances.
When the cutting member 3752 is advanced distally from its lockout position, the cutting member 3752 can move out of contact with the second resistance region 3772 and into contact with the third resistance region 3773. The third resistance region 3773 corresponds to a range of positions in which the firing assembly 3750 is ejecting the staples from the staple cartridge 3712. When the cutting member 3752 is in contact with the third resistance region 3773, the firing progress detection circuit can have a third resistance which can be detected by the microprocessor. In such instances, the firing progress detection circuit can include the first conductor, the first side of the third resistance region 3773, the cutting member 3752, the second side of the third resistance region 3773, and the second conductor. When the microprocessor detects that the firing progress detection circuit has the third resistance, the microprocessor can determine that the firing assembly 3750 is firing the staples into tissue and that the cutting member 3752 is incising the tissue. In various instances, the microprocessor may operate the electric motor which drives the firing assembly 3750 at a suitable speed as the cutting member 3752 moves through the third resistance region 3773. A suitable speed may comprise a constant speed, for example. In some instances, the cutting member 3752 may be accelerated at the proximal end of the third resistance region 3773 and decelerated at the distal end of the third resistance region 3773, for example. While the third resistance of the firing progress detection circuit may comprise a specific third resistance, in various instances, it may also be inclusive of a third range of resistances.
When the cutting member 3752 is advanced distally from its staple firing range, the cutting member 3752 can move out of contact with the third resistance region 3773 and into contact with the fourth resistance region 3774. The fourth resistance region 3774 corresponds to the distal-most, fully-fired position of the cutting member 3752. When the cutting member 3752 is in contact with the fourth resistance region 3774, the firing progress detection circuit can have a fourth resistance which can be detected by the microprocessor. In such instances, the firing progress detection circuit can include the first conductor, the first side of the fourth resistance region 3774, the cutting member 3752, the second side of the fourth resistance region 3774, and the second conductor. When the microprocessor detects that the firing progress detection circuit has the fourth resistance, the microprocessor can determine that the firing assembly 3750 is at the end of its firing stroke. At such point, the microprocessor may stop the electric motor which drives the firing assembly 3750. In some instances, the microprocessor may automatically reverse the direction of the electric motor and retract the cutting member 3752. The sled 3251 may be left at the distal end 3702 of the staple cartridge 3712 or retracted proximally with the cutting member 3752. While the fourth resistance of the firing progress detection circuit may comprise a specific fourth resistance, in various instances, it may also be inclusive of a fourth range of resistances.
Detecting the first, second, third, and fourth resistances can provide real time position detection of the firing assembly 3750. While four resistance regions are utilized in the illustrated embodiment, any suitable number of resistance regions may be utilized.
Means for detecting when a firing assembly has attained an end of stroke position can also be located within a handle assembly of a surgical stapling instrument. A handle assembly 4100 is depicted in
Another system in which the position, velocity and/or acceleration of a firing assembly may be detected can comprise audible and/or haptic means configured to notify the user of the surgical instrument, with sound and/or vibration, the position, velocity and/or acceleration of the firing member. Illustrated in
As the firing member 4250 is advanced distally, further to the above, the user of the surgical instrument can be audibly alerted, for example, of the status of the firing assembly 4250 as the haptic ribs 4251 engage the haptic spring 4255. If the firing member 4250 is moving at a constant speed, the rate in which the clicks are made will be constant. If the firing member 4250 is being accelerated, the rate in which the clicks are made will increase. If the firing member 4250 is being decelerated, the rate in which the clicks are made will decrease. The haptic ribs 4251 comprise a denser arrangement 4252 at the proximal end 4257 of the firing member 4250 as compared to the haptic ribs 4251 distal to the proximal end 4257. For a given speed of the firing member 4250, the haptic ribs 4251 positioned at the proximal end 4257 of the firing member 4250, i.e., ribs 4252, cause the audible alert created by the haptic spring 4256 to be different than that of the alert created by the haptic spring 4256 when the haptic spring 4256 engages the haptic ribs 4251 distal to the proximal end 4257. In at least one such instance, the ribs 4252 quicken the rate of the clicking heard by and/or the vibrations felt by the user. Upon hearing an increased rate of the clicking caused by the ribs 4252, for example, the user of the surgical instrument may understand that the firing member 4250 may be approaching, or has arrived at, the end of stroke position. In such instances, the user may release the firing actuator which is driving the electric motor 4210 to stop the firing member 4250. In the instances where the firing actuator comprises a variable speed control over the motor 4210, the user can relax the pressure being applied to the firing actuator to slow the motor 4210 before releasing the firing actuator to stop the motor 4210. At such point, the firing member 4250 can be retracted proximally by operating the motor 4210 in a second, or opposite, direction.
As described above, a longitudinal array of ribs can include two portions—a first portion that establishes a baseline of feedback and a second portion which provides a departure in that feedback. Other embodiments are envisioned which comprise a baseline feedback and more than one additional feedback which departs from the baseline feedback. In various instances, a final feedback can comprise an accelerating rate of audible clicks and/or vibrations, for example, as the firing member gets closer to its end of stroke position, for example.
The audible clicks and/or vibrations, or haptic feedback, described above in connection with the embodiment of
In
Further to the above, the release spring 4333 biases the clutch drive plate 4334 into engagement with the output shaft 4338. More specifically, the release spring 4333 biases the teeth 4336 of the clutch drive plate 4334 into operative engagement with the teeth 4337 of the output shaft 4338. Owing to angled surfaces on the teeth 4336, 4337, the teeth 4336, 4337 may tend to push the clutch drive plate 4334 away from the output shaft 4338 when a working load is transmitted therebetween. The release spring 4333 can be designed to handle a particular, or predetermined, working load applied between the clutch drive plate 4334 and the output shaft 4338. Such a predetermined working load is sufficient to operate the end effector of the surgical instrument under normal operating conditions. For example, the predetermine working load is sufficient to fire and properly deform the staples removably stored in a staple cartridge and incise the tissue being stapled. In the event that the firing member 4350 becomes jammed, for example, the motor may attempt to transmit a larger working load than the predetermined working load through the clutch assembly. In such instances, the release spring 4333 may be overcome and the clutch drive plate 4334 may be pushed out of engagement with the output shaft 4338. At such point, the clutch drive plate 4334 may rotate relative to the output shaft 4338 without transferring, or at least substantially transferring, relative rotational movement therebetween.
When the firing member 4350 has reached the end of its firing stroke, further to the above, the firing member 4350 may abut a distal end of the staple cartridge, for example. In such circumstances, the distal end of the staple cartridge will stop the advancement of the firing member 4350 and, similar to the above, the teeth 4336 of the clutch drive plate 4334 will slip relative to the teeth 4337 of the output shaft 4338 and/or de-mesh as a result of the increased torque being transmitted from the electric motor to the clutch drive plate 4334 in an attempt to advance the firing member 4350 further distally. The force of the release spring 4333 applied to the clutch drive plate 4334 is not great enough to keep the teeth 4336 of the clutch drive plate 4334 and the teeth 4337 of the output shaft 4338 engaged to drive the output gear 4339. When the electric motor is operated in an opposite direction, for example, the torque being transmitted into the clutch interface which is causing the clutch to slip will be released and the teeth 4336 will be remeshed with the teeth 4337 in order to retract the firing member 4350 proximally.
Another embodiment can comprise a sensor positioned within a firing assembly configured to sense force experienced by the firing assembly as the firing assembly reaches a distal end of an end effector. At the distal end of an end effector, a stop may be configured to arrest the distal movement of the firing member assembly. The stop may be designed to provide a known resistive force profile in which a controller of the surgical instrument can detect and/or measure to notify a user that the firing assembly is at the end of stroke position. Different force profiles will occur depending on the design of the stop. The stop may be breakable and designed with a discontinuity ensuring material failure open arrival of the firing assembly at the end of stroke position. A stepped stop may be designed to gradually arrest the movement of the cutting member. Once the cutting member contacts the distal wall of the stepped stop, the firing assembly will have reached the distal-most position. The controller may look for a first expected force to notify the user of the surgical instrument that the firing member assembly is nearing the end of stroke position. The controller may also look for a second expected force the firing member will experience when the firing member reaches an end of stroke position.
