The present disclosure generally relates to user interfaces for surgical instruments with end-effectors adapted and configured to operate with multiple energy modalities to enable tissue sealing and cutting employing simultaneously, independently, or sequentially applied energy modalities. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to user interfaces for surgical instruments with end-effectors adapted and configured to operate with surgical instruments that employ combined ultrasonic and electrosurgical systems, such as monopolar or bipolar radio frequency (RF), to enable tissue sealing and cutting employing simultaneously, independently, or sequentially applied ultrasonic and electrosurgical energy modalities. The energy modalities may be applied based on tissue parameters or other algorithms. The end-effectors may be adapted and configured to couple to hand held or robotic surgical systems.
Ultrasonic surgical instruments employing ultrasonic energy modalities are finding increasingly widespread applications in surgical procedures by virtue of the unique performance characteristics of such instruments. Depending upon specific instrument configurations and operational parameters, ultrasonic surgical instruments can provide substantially simultaneous cutting of tissue and hemostasis by coagulation, desirably minimizing patient trauma. The cutting action is typically realized by an end-effector, or blade tip, at the distal end of the instrument, which transmits ultrasonic energy to tissue brought into contact with the end-effector. An ultrasonic end-effector may comprise an ultrasonic blade, a clamp arm, and a pad, among other components. Ultrasonic instruments of this nature can be configured for open surgical use, minimally invasive procedures such as laparoscopic procedures, for example, or non-invasive procedures such as endoscopic surgical procedures, for example. The instruments may be controlled by a surgeon using a hand held instrument or a robot.
Some surgical instruments utilize ultrasonic energy for both precise cutting and controlled coagulation. Ultrasonic energy cuts and coagulates by vibrating a blade in contact with tissue. Vibrating at high frequencies (e.g., 55,500 times per second), the ultrasonic blade denatures protein in the tissue to form a sticky coagulum. Pressure exerted on tissue with the blade surface collapses blood vessels and allows the coagulum to form a hemostatic seal. The precision of cutting and coagulation is controlled by the surgeon's technique and adjusting the power level, blade edge, tissue traction, and blade pressure.
Electrosurgical devices for applying electrical energy modalities to tissue to treat, seal, cut, and/or destroy tissue also are finding increasingly widespread applications in surgical procedures. An electrosurgical device typically includes an instrument having a distally-mounted end-effector comprising one or more than one electrode. The end-effector can be positioned against the tissue such that electrical current is introduced into the tissue.
Electrosurgical devices can be configured for bipolar or monopolar operation. During bipolar operation, current is introduced though a first electrode (e.g., active electrode) into the tissue and returned from the tissue through a second electrode (e.g., return electrode). During monopolar operation, current is introduced into the tissue by an active electrode of the end-effector and returned through a return electrode such as a grounding pad, for example, separately coupled to the body of a patient. Heat generated by the current flowing through the tissue may form hemostatic seals within the tissue and/or between tissues and thus may be particularly useful for sealing blood vessels, for example. The end-effector of an electrosurgical device also may include a cutting member that is movable relative to the tissue and the electrodes to transect the tissue. Electrosurgical end-effectors may be adapted and configured to couple to hand held instruments as well as robotic instruments.
Electrical energy applied by an electrosurgical device can be transmitted to the instrument by a generator in communication with the hand piece. The electrical energy may be in the form of radio frequency (“RF”) energy. RF energy is a form of electrical energy that may be in the frequency range of 200 kilohertz (kHz) to 1 megahertz (MHz). In application, an electrosurgical device can transmit low frequency RF energy through tissue, which causes ionic agitation, or friction, in effect resistive heating, thereby increasing the temperature of the tissue. Because a sharp boundary is created between the affected tissue and the surrounding tissue, surgeons can operate with a high level of precision and control, without sacrificing un-targeted adjacent tissue. The low operating temperatures of RF energy is useful for removing, shrinking, or sculpting soft tissue while simultaneously sealing blood vessels. RF energy works particularly well on connective tissue, which is primarily comprised of collagen and shrinks when contacted by heat.
The RF energy may be in a frequency range described in EN 60601-2-2:2009+A11:2011, Definition 201.3.218—HIGH FREQUENCY. For example, the frequency in monopolar RF applications may be typically restricted to less than 5 MHz. However, in bipolar RF energy applications, the frequency can be almost anything. Frequencies above 200 kHz can be typically used for monopolar applications in order to avoid the unwanted stimulation of nerves and muscles that would result from the use of low frequency current. Lower frequencies may be used for bipolar applications if the risk analysis shows the possibility of neuromuscular stimulation has been mitigated to an acceptable level. Normally, frequencies above 5 MHz are not used in order to minimize the problems associated with high frequency leakage currents. Higher frequencies may, however, be used in the case of bipolar applications. It is generally recognized that 10 mA is the lower threshold of thermal effects on tissue.
A challenge of utilizing these medical devices is the inability to control and customize single or multiple energy modalities depending on the type of tissue being treated. It would be desirable to provide end-effectors that overcome some of the deficiencies of current instruments and improve the quality of tissue treatment, sealing, or cutting or combinations thereof. The combination energy modality end-effectors described herein overcome those deficiencies and improve the quality of tissue treatment, sealing, or cutting or combinations thereof.
In one aspect, an apparatus is provided for dissecting and coagulating tissue. The apparatus comprises a surgical instrument comprising an end-effector adapted and configured to deliver a plurality of energy modalities to tissue at a distal end thereof. The energy modalities may be applied simultaneously, independently, or sequentially. A generator is electrically coupled to the surgical instrument and is configured to supply a plurality of energy modalities to the end-effector. In one aspect, the generator is configured to supply electrosurgical energy (e.g., monopolar or bipolar radio frequency (RF) energy) and ultrasonic energy to the end-effector to allow the end-effector to interact with the tissue. The energy modalities may be supplied to the end-effector by a single generator or multiple generators.
In one aspect, the present disclosure provides a surgical instrument. The surgical instrument comprises a housing, an end-effector, and a user interface. The end-effector comprises a clamp arm and an ultrasonic blade configured to couple to an ultrasonic transducer and to a pole of an electrical generator. The clamp arm comprises a clamp jaw pivotally movable about a pivot point and an electrode defining a surface configured to contact tissue and apply electrical energy to the tissue in contact therewith. The electrode is configured to couple to an opposite pole of the electrical generator. The user interface comprises a first activation button switch to activate a first energy source and a second button switch to select an energy mode for the activation button switch.

Various forms are directed to user interfaces for surgical instruments with ultrasonic and/or electrosurgical (RF) end-effectors configured for effecting tissue treating, dissecting, cutting, and/or coagulation during surgical procedures. In one form, a user interface is provided for a combined ultrasonic and electrosurgical instrument that may be configured for use in open surgical procedures, but has applications in other types of surgery, such as minimally invasive laparoscopic procedures, for example, non-invasive endoscopic procedures, either in hand held or and robotic-assisted procedures.

In various aspects, the present disclosure provides a surgical device configured to deliver at least two energy types (e.g., ultrasonic, monopolar, bipolar RF, microwave, or irreversible electroporation [IRE]) to tissue. The surgical device includes a first activation button switch for activating energy, a second button switch for selecting an energy mode for the activation button switch. The second button switch is connected to a circuit that uses at least one input parameter to define the energy mode. The input parameter can be modified remotely through connection to a generator or through a software update.
In one aspect, at least one of the energy modes is a simultaneous blend of RF and ultrasonic energy, and the input parameter represents a duty cycle of the RF and ultrasonic energy.
In one aspect, the second button switch is configurable to select from a list of predefined modes and the number of modes in the list is defined by a second input parameter defined by a user.
In one aspect, the input parameter is either duty cycle, voltage, frequency, pulse width, or current.
In one aspect, the device also includes a visual indicator of the selected energy mode within the portion of device in the surgical field
In one aspect, the second button switch is a separate control from the end effector closure trigger.
In one aspect, the second button switch is configured to be activated second stage of the closure trigger. The first stage of the closure trigger in the closing direction is to actuate the end effector.

In one aspect, at least one of the energy modes is selected from a sequential application of two or more of the following types of energy: ultrasonic, RF bipolar, RF monopolar, microwave, or IRE.
In one aspect, at least one of the energy modes is a simultaneous blend of two or more of the following types of energy: ultrasonic, RF bipolar, RF monopolar, microwave, and IRE.
In one aspect, at least one of the energy modes is a simultaneous blend of two or more of the following types of energy: ultrasonic, RF bipolar, RF monopolar, microwave, and IRE followed sequentially by one or more of the aforementioned energies.

In one aspect, the preferred selections by the user are made available to multiple generators through either networking, the cloud, or manual transfer.
In one aspect, the device also includes a visual indicator of the selected energy mode within the portion of device in the surgical field.
As used herein a button switch can be a manually, mechanically, or electrically operated electromechanical device with one or more sets of electrical contacts, which are connected to external circuits. Each set of electrical contacts can be in one of two states: either “closed” meaning the contacts are touching and electricity can flow between them, or “open”, meaning the contacts are separated and the switch is electrically non-conducting. The mechanism actuating the transition between these two states (open or closed) can be either an “alternate action” (flip the switch for continuous “on” or “off”) or “momentary” (push for “on” and release for “off”) type.
As surgical devices evolve and become more capable, the number of specialized modes in which they can be operated increases. Adding extra button switches on a device to accommodate these new additional modes would complicate the user interface and make the device more difficult to use. Accordingly, the present disclosure provides techniques for assigning different modes to a single physical button switch, which enables a wider selection of modes without adding complexity to the housing design (e.g., adding more and more button switches). In one aspect the housing is in the form of a handle or pistol grip.
As more specialized modes become available, there is a need to provide multiple modes to a surgeon using the surgical device without creating a complex user interface. Surgeons want to be able to control the mode selection from the sterile field rather than relying on a circulating nurse at the generator. Surgeon want real time feedback so they are confident they know which mode is selected.

As more functionality is added to advanced energy surgical devices additional button switches or controls are added to the surgical devices. The additional button switches or controls make these advanced energy surgical devices complicated and difficult to use. Additionally, when using an advanced energy surgical device to control bleeding, difficult to use user interfaces or difficult to access capability will cost critical time and attention during a surgical procedure.
According to the present disclosure, monopolar RF energy or advanced bipolar RF energy is activated by closing the trigger by squeezing the trigger past a first closure click to a second activation click and holding closed until energy delivery is ceased by the power source in the generator. Energy also can be immediately reapplied by slightly releasing and re-squeezing the trigger as many times as desired.
The trigger 196 is configured to operate a clamp arm portion of an end-effector and to trigger electrosurgical energy, thus eliminating the activation button switch 126, 176 shown in
Procedure for operating the surgical device 190: squeeze the trigger 196 to a first audible and tactile click; verify targeted tissue in jaws; activate RF energy by further squeezing the trigger 196 to a second audible and tactile click until end tone is heard; cut by pressing ultrasonic front switch 200 until tissue divides.
Modified procedure for operating the surgical instrument 190 for additional capability: activate RF energy with the trigger 196 and hold while simultaneously activation the front button switch 200 to activate the ultrasonic transducer, which will result in simultaneous application of electrosurgical and ultrasonic energy modalities being delivered to the tissue at the same time.
In an alternative implementation, the front button switch 200 for activating ultrasonic energy may be toggled to different speeds via a mode selector on the surgical device 190 or on the power source generator 206.

The user interface may further comprise the rotatable knob 202 to rotate the shaft 198 and the end-effector. The user interface may further comprise a mode switch button to select an energy mode associated with the second audible and tactile click of the trigger 196.
In various aspects, the present disclosure provides the framework for energy mode selection and switching for a surgical instrument such as the surgical instruments 100, 150, 190 descried in
In various aspects, the present disclosure provides mode switching algorithms for a surgical instrument capable of delivering multiple energy options, including both pre-defined algorithms and user-defined algorithms. Pre-defined algorithms include (but not limited to) individual energies, combined energies, sequential energies, duty cycle or pulsed energies, tissue-specific or procedure-specific energies, or any combination of the above.
User-defined algorithms include, without limitation, any selection of pre-defined algorithms or a user-defined sequence of varied electrical outputs.
In various aspects, the present disclosure provides a framework for energy mode selection and switching for a surgical instrument including options for loading different modes to a generator, making modes available to a surgical device, user interface options, and confirmation of selected mode and input parameters, either on the generator or the surgical device, or other user interface option.
The various modes are loaded 302 onto the generator (e.g., generator 133, 206 in
The modes are made available 312 to the surgical device. This task can be accomplished in multiple different ways, including but not limited to the user selecting 314 from a pre-defined list of modes at the generator or selecting/defining 316 “User-Defined” modes at the generator.
Whether the user selects 314 from a pre-defined list of modes at the generator or selects/defines 316 “User-Defined” modes at the generator, the user selects 318 the desired mode using several user interface options. The user can interact with, switch between, and select different modes via a mode-switching button switch 338 (e.g., mode button switch 130, 180 in
Both the generator and the device confirm the mode selected by the user. Example of device confirmation are described herein at sections 278280 and 278282. The surgical device confirms 320 the mode selected by the user. The confirmation 320 of the mode selection can be made by visual 324, audible 326 or tactile 328 feedback. The generator will display 322 the appropriate input parameters based on the mode selected by the user. These input parameters will be defined either by pre-defined algorithms 342 (defined by the manufacturer) or by user-defined algorithms 344 (defined by the user).

Once the device is activated 332, the generator supplies 334 energy output defined by the input parameters. The process continues to monitor the user selection 318 of desired modes and user set 330 input parameters on the generator for any changes and implements the changes as described above.

The mode switching shaft light indicators with augmented digital overlay are shown in
When using a surgical device with mode assignable button switches as disclosed herein in
Surgeons desire to know what mode the surgical device is in at any given point without taking their eyes off the surgical task at hand. For this reason, a visual mode indicator in the line of sight of the surgical task at hand would be best placed close to the end-effector such that the it is in the line of sight of the surgeon at all times.
The following disclosure provides examples of pre-defined algorithms 342 for mode switching on a combination energy surgical device such as the surgical device 100, 150, 190 described in
A combined energy algorithm 356 enables simultaneous delivery of two or more of the energy modalities 366, 368, 370, 372, 374 listed above. As an example, the combined energy algorithm 356 may deliver power to both RF bipolar electrodes and an ultrasonic transducer that drives an ultrasonic waveguide and an end-effector at the same time to seal and cut a target vessel.
A sequential energy algorithm 358 enables delivery of two or more of the energy modalities listed above in a sequential manner. As an example, the sequential energy algorithm 358 may deliver power to RF bipolar electrodes to seal a target vessel before triggering power to an ultrasonic transducer that drives an ultrasonic waveguide and an end-effector to cut through the sealed target vessel.
A duty cycle/pulsed energy algorithm 360 enables delivery of two or more of the energy modalities 366, 368, 370, 372, 374 listed above in a particular, pre-set order. As an example, the duty cycle/pulsed energy algorithm 360 may cycle quickly between delivering power to RF bipolar electrodes and to an ultrasonic transducer that drives an ultrasonic waveguide and an end-effector to seal but not cut a target vessel, and then pulse power to an ultrasonic transducer to cut through the sealed vessel.
The following disclosure provides examples of user-defined algorithms 344 for mode switching on a combination energy surgical device such as the surgical device 100, 150, 190 described in
A user may decide to create a user-defined algorithm 344 by selecting any of the pre-defined algorithms 376, especially for defining an algorithm with sequenced energy modalities (e.g., sequential energy algorithm 358 in
By way of a first example, a user-defined algorithm 344 may be defined to execute instructions for double cycle RF bipolar sealing and ultrasonic cutting. Accordingly, for extra confidence in a seal on a vessel or for extra debulking of tissue prior to a cut, the user may desire two cycles of RF bipolar energy before a cut sequence (i.e., ultrasonic activation). The user could create a user-defined algorithm 344 that cycles through two RF bipolar activations and an ultrasonic activation with a single button switch press. For the user-defined algorithm 344, the user could have the option to pre-set target energy parameters (e.g., ultrasonic power level or voltage driving the ultrasonic transducer) when the user-defined algorithm 344 is defined, or could elect to change the input parameters at the user Interface during the surgical procedure before activating the user-defined algorithm 344.
By way of a second example, a user-defined algorithm 344 may be defined to execute instructions for RF bipolar sealing and RF monopolar cutting. Accordingly, a user may desire an RF bipolar seal cycle prior to an RF monopolar cut, and may decide to create a user-defined algorithm 344 to reduce the number of button switch activations or mode-switching required to complete this sequence, especially if there are multiple occasions within a surgical procedure that the User would want to complete this given sequence of outputs.
By way of a third example, a user-defined algorithm 344 may be defined to execute instructions for tissue-specific RF bipolar activation and ultrasonic cutting. In a liver-specific surgical procedure, a user may desire to activate a seal-only cycle (i.e., RF bipolar) at low power over an extended period of time under a light clamp on the target tissue in order to debulk the target tissue and achieve more confidence in sealing of very small vessels running through the target tissue. The cut then could be completed with ultrasonic activation. A user-defined algorithm 344 in this scenario would enable the user to pre-set parameters such as target power output and time of activation for the sealing cycle before switching to an ultrasonic cutting cycle. This user-defined algorithm 344 is particularly useful for repetitive activations on sensitive tissues during a surgical procedure.
The surgical instruments 100, 150, 190 and associated algorithms described above in connection with
During a surgical procedure, energy application to tissue, for sealing and/or cutting, is generally associated with smoke evacuation, suction of excess fluid, and/or irrigation of the tissue. Fluid, power, and/or data lines from different sources are often entangled during the surgical procedure. Valuable time can be lost addressing this issue during a surgical procedure. Detangling the lines may necessitate disconnecting the lines from their respective modules, which may require resetting the modules. The hub modular enclosure 3136 offers a unified environment for managing the power, data, and fluid lines, which reduces the frequency of entanglement between such lines.

One of the advantages of the hub modular enclosure 136 is enabling the quick removal and/or replacement of various modules.

As noted above, the modular energy system 4000 can be assembled into different configurations. Further, the different configurations of the modular energy system 4000 can also be utilizable for different surgical procedure types and/or different tasks. For example,
The surgical instrument 14 of the present example comprises a handle assembly 18, a shaft assembly 20 extending distally from the handle assembly 18, and an end effector 22 arranged at a distal end of the shaft assembly 20. The handle assembly 18 comprises a body 24 including a pistol grip 26 and energy control buttons 28, 30 configured to be manipulated by a surgeon. A trigger 32 is coupled to a lower portion of the body 24 and is pivotable toward and away from the pistol grip 26 to selectively actuate the end effector 22, as described in greater detail below. In other suitable variations of the surgical instrument 14, the handle assembly 18 may comprise a scissor grip configuration, for example. An ultrasonic transducer 34 is housed internally within and supported by the body 24. In other configurations, the ultrasonic transducer 34 may be provided externally of the body 24.
As shown in
A clamp pad 40 is secured to and extends distally along a clamping side of the clamp arm 38, facing the ultrasonic blade 36. The clamp pad 40 is configured to engage and clamp tissue against a corresponding tissue treatment portion of the ultrasonic blade 36 when the clamp arm 38 is actuated to its closed position. At least a clamping-side of the clamp arm 38 provides a first electrode 42, referred to herein as clamp arm electrode 42. Additionally, at least a clamping-side of the ultrasonic blade 36 provides a second electrode 44, referred to herein as a blade electrode 44. The electrodes 42, 44 are configured to apply electrosurgical bipolar RF energy, provided by the generator 12, to tissue electrically coupled with the electrodes 42, 44. The clamp arm electrode 42 may serve as an active electrode while the blade electrode 44 serves as a return electrode, or vice-versa. The surgical instrument 14 may be configured to apply the electrosurgical bipolar RF energy through the electrodes 42, 44 while vibrating the ultrasonic blade 36 at an ultrasonic frequency, before vibrating the ultrasonic blade 36 at an ultrasonic frequency, and/or after vibrating the ultrasonic blade 36 at an ultrasonic frequency.
As shown in
In the present example, the inner tube 48 is longitudinally fixed relative to the handle assembly 18, and the outer tube 46 is configured to translate relative to the inner tube 48 and the handle assembly 18, along the longitudinal axis of the shaft assembly 20. As the outer tube 46 translates distally, the clamp arm 38 pivots about the pivot pin 56 toward its open position. As the outer tube 46 translates proximally, the clamp arm 38 pivots in an opposite direction toward its closed position. A proximal end of the outer tube 46 is operatively coupled with the trigger 32, for example via a linkage assembly, such that actuation of the trigger 32 causes translation of the outer tube 46 relative to the inner tube 48, thereby opening or closing the clamp arm 38. In other suitable configurations not shown herein, the outer tube 46 may be longitudinally fixed and the inner tube 48 may be configured to translate for moving the clamp arm 38 between its open and closed positions.
The shaft assembly 20 and the end effector 22 are configured to rotate together about the longitudinal axis, relative to the handle assembly 18. A retaining pin 66, shown in
The ultrasonic waveguide 50 is acoustically coupled at its proximal end with the ultrasonic transducer 34, for example by a threaded connection, and at its distal end with the ultrasonic blade 36, as shown in
The waveguide 50 is supported within the inner tube 48 by a plurality of nodal support elements 70 positioned along a length of the waveguide 50, as shown in
In the present example, a distal tip 76 of the ultrasonic blade 36 is located at a position corresponding to an anti-node associated with the resonant ultrasonic vibrations communicated through the waveguide 50. Such a configuration enables the acoustic assembly of the instrument 14 to be tuned to a preferred resonant frequency fo when the ultrasonic blade 36 is not loaded by tissue. When the ultrasonic transducer 34 is energized by the generator 12 to transmit mechanical vibrations through the waveguide 50 to the blade 36, the distal tip 76 of the blade 36 is caused to oscillate longitudinally in the range of approximately 20 to 120 microns peak-to-peak, for example, and in some instances in the range of approximately 20 to 50 microns, at a predetermined vibratory frequency fo of approximately 50 kHz, for example. When the ultrasonic blade 36 is positioned in contact with tissue, the ultrasonic oscillation of the blade 36 may simultaneously sever the tissue and denature the proteins in adjacent tissue cells, thereby providing a coagulative effect with minimal thermal spread.

The frame relay communications protocol may comply or be compatible with a standard promulgated by Consultative Committee for International Telegraph and Telephone (CCITT) and/or the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). Alternatively or additionally, the transceivers may be capable of communicating with each other using an Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) communications protocol. The ATM communications protocol may comply or be compatible with an ATM standard published by the ATM Forum titled “ATM-MPLS Network Interworking 2.0” published August 2001, and/or later versions of this standard. Of course, different and/or after-developed connection-oriented network communication protocols are equally contemplated herein.
Unless specifically stated otherwise as apparent from the foregoing disclosure, it is appreciated that, throughout the foregoing disclosure, discussions using terms such as “processing,” “computing,” “calculating,” “determining,” “displaying,” or the like, refer to the action and processes of a computer system, or similar electronic computing device, that manipulates and transforms data represented as physical (electronic) quantities within the computer system's registers and memories into other data similarly represented as physical quantities within the computer system memories or registers or other such information storage, transmission or display devices.
One or more components may be referred to herein as “configured to,” “configurable to,” “operable/operative to,” “adapted/adaptable,” “able to,” “conformable/conformed to,” etc. Those skilled in the art will recognize that “configured to” can generally encompass active-state components and/or inactive-state components and/or standby-state components, unless context requires otherwise.
The terms “proximal” and “distal” are used herein with reference to a clinician manipulating the handle portion of the surgical instrument. The term “proximal” refers to the portion closest to the clinician and the term “distal” refers 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.
Those skilled in the art will recognize that, in general, terms used herein, and especially in the appended claims (e.g., bodies of the appended claims) are generally intended as “open” terms (e.g., the term “including” should be interpreted as “including but not limited to,” the term “having” should be interpreted as “having at least,” the term “includes” should be interpreted as “includes but is not limited to,” etc.). It will be further understood by those within the art that if a specific number of an introduced claim recitation is intended, such an intent will be explicitly recited in the claim, and in the absence of such recitation no such intent is present. For example, as an aid to understanding, the following appended claims may contain usage of the introductory phrases “at least one” and “one or more” to introduce claim recitations. However, the use of such phrases should not be construed to imply that the introduction of a claim recitation by the indefinite articles “a” or “an” limits any particular claim containing such introduced claim recitation to claims containing only one such recitation, even when the same claim includes the introductory phrases “one or more” or “at least one” and indefinite articles such as “a” or “an” (e.g., “a” and/or “an” should typically be interpreted to mean “at least one” or “one or more”); the same holds true for the use of definite articles used to introduce claim recitations.
In addition, even if a specific number of an introduced claim recitation is explicitly recited, those skilled in the art will recognize that such recitation should typically be interpreted to mean at least the recited number (e.g., the bare recitation of “two recitations,” without other modifiers, typically means at least two recitations, or two or more recitations). Furthermore, in those instances where a convention analogous to “at least one of A, B, and C, etc.” is used, in general such a construction is intended in the sense one having skill in the art would understand the convention (e.g., “a system having at least one of A, B, and C” would include but not be limited to systems that have A alone, B alone, C alone, A and B together, A and C together, B and C together, and/or A, B, and C together, etc.). In those instances where a convention analogous to “at least one of A, B, or C, etc.” is used, in general such a construction is intended in the sense one having skill in the art would understand the convention (e.g., “a system having at least one of A, B, or C” would include but not be limited to systems that have A alone, B alone, C alone, A and B together, A and C together, B and C together, and/or A, B, and C together, etc.). It will be further understood by those within the art that typically a disjunctive word and/or phrase presenting two or more alternative terms, whether in the description, claims, or drawings, should be understood to contemplate the possibilities of including one of the terms, either of the terms, or both terms unless context dictates otherwise. For example, the phrase “A or B” will be typically understood to include the possibilities of “A” or “B” or “A and B.”
With respect to the appended claims, those skilled in the art will appreciate that recited operations therein may generally be performed in any order. Also, although various operational flow diagrams are presented in a sequence(s), it should be understood that the various operations may be performed in other orders than those which are illustrated, or may be performed concurrently. Examples of such alternate orderings may include overlapping, interleaved, interrupted, reordered, incremental, preparatory, supplemental, simultaneous, reverse, or other variant orderings, unless context dictates otherwise. Furthermore, terms like “responsive to,” “related to,” or other past-tense adjectives are generally not intended to exclude such variants, unless context dictates otherwise.
It is worthy to note that any reference to “one aspect,” “an aspect,” “an exemplification,” “one exemplification,” and the like means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the aspect is included in at least one aspect. Thus, appearances of the phrases “in one aspect,” “in an aspect,” “in an exemplification,” and “in one exemplification” in various places throughout the specification are not necessarily all referring to the same aspect. Furthermore, the particular features, structures or characteristics may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more aspects.
Any patent application, patent, non-patent publication, or other disclosure material referred to in this specification and/or listed in any Application Data Sheet is incorporated by reference herein, to the extent that the incorporated materials is not inconsistent herewith. As such, and to the extent necessary, the disclosure as explicitly set forth herein supersedes any conflicting material incorporated herein by reference. Any material, or portion thereof, that is said to be incorporated by reference herein, but which conflicts with existing definitions, statements, or other disclosure material set forth herein will only be incorporated to the extent that no conflict arises between that incorporated material and the existing disclosure material.
In summary, numerous benefits have been described which result from employing the concepts described herein. The foregoing description of the one or more forms has been presented for purposes of illustration and description. It is not intended to be exhaustive or limiting to the precise form disclosed. Modifications or variations are possible in light of the above teachings. The one or more forms were chosen and described in order to illustrate principles and practical application to thereby enable one of ordinary skill in the art to utilize the various forms and with various modifications as are suited to the particular use contemplated. It is intended that the claims submitted herewith define the overall scope.
The present application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. § 119(e) to U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 62/955,294, titled USER INTERFACE FOR SURGICAL INSTRUMENT WITH COMBINATION ENERGY MODALITY END-EFFECTOR, filed Dec. 30, 2019, the disclosure of which is herein incorporated by reference in its entirety.
