TL;DR: An electro-mechanical surgical device, system and/or method may include a housing, at least two opposing jaw, and at least one electrical contact associated with one of the jaws as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: An electro-mechanical surgical device, system and/or method may include a housing, at least two opposing jaw, and at least one electrical contact associated with at least one of the jaws. The electrical contact may include at least one of a bipolar electrical contact and an ultrasonic electrical contact. The electrical contact may be a row of electrodes located on one or all of the jaws. A sensor may also be associated with any tissue located between the jaws to sense and report the temperature of that tissue. A piercable ampulla containing fluid may also be placed on at least one of the jaws so that the fluid is releasable when the jaws are in closed position and the electrode(s) pass through the tissue into the piercable ampulla.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe a surgical device for cutting and stapling a section of tissue, which includes an anvil mechanically attachable to the housing and moveable relative to the house between an open position and a closed position.
Abstract: The present invention, in accordance with various embodiments thereof, relates to a surgical device for at least one of cutting and stapling a section of tissue. The surgical device includes a housing including at least two drivers. The surgical device also includes an anvil mechanically attachable to the housing and moveable relative to the housing between an open position and a closed position. The first driver operates to move the anvil relative to the housing to an intermediate position between the open position and the closed position. The second driver operates to move at least a portion of the housing relative to the anvil between the intermediate position and the closed position.

9 Feb 2012TL;DR: In this paper, a self-contained motor-powered disposable loading unit for use with a robotic system configured to generate control systems therefor is presented, where indicators are supported on the disposable unit to indicate when the axial drive assembly thereof is in a starting position and an ending position.
Abstract: A self contained motor-powered disposable loading unit for use with a robotic system configured to generate control systems therefor. The disposable loading unit may contain a battery that is retained in a disconnected position when the disposable loading unit is not in use and is moved to a connected position when the disposable loading unit is coupled to the robotic system to permit the motor to be selectively powered thereby. Indicators may be supported on the disposable loading unit to indicate when the axial drive assembly thereof is in a starting position and an ending position. Another indicator may be provided to indicate when the anvil assembly is in a closed position.

10 Oct 2013TL;DR: A surgical cutting instrument (100) includes a first jaw member, a second jaw member and a cutting member (122) comprising a tissue cutting edge (13) to cut the tissue clamped between the first and second jaw members upon application of a retraction motion to the cutting member.
Abstract: A surgical cutting instrument (100) includes a first jaw member (108), a second jaw member (110) movably supported relative to the first jaw member for selective movement between an open position and a closed position to clamp tissue therebetween upon application of a closing motion thereto, and a cutting member (122) comprising a tissue cutting edge (13) to cut the tissue clamped between the first jaw member and the second jaw member upon application of a retraction motion to the cutting member.
