Abstract

The present invention discloses a medical device including an elongated housing having a distal end, the housing defining a lumen channel therein, an end effector disposed at the distal end, the end effector including an energy-based surgical instrument having an elongated treatment portion and a clamp arm assembly, wherein the clamp arm assembly is moveable relative to the treatment portion, at least one clip disposed within the lumen channel and a firing bar movable through the lumen channel to advance the clip from a first position within the lumen channel to a second position external of the lumen channel.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates generally to surgical instruments and methods, and more particularly to methods and energy-based surgical instruments for cutting, coagulating, and ligating patient tissue incorporating clip application functionality. Background technique [0002] Surgeons typically use ultrasonic surgical devices to cut, coagulate, and / or clot tissue. Exemplary ultrasonic surgical devices are disclosed in US Patent Nos. 5,322,055, 6,325,811, 6,432,118, and 6,893,434, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. An example of an ultrasonic surgical device is the Harmonic® available from Ethicon Endo-Surgery, Cincinnati, Ohio. Coagulating Shears. [0003] In some procedures, alternative instruments or instrument changes are necessary in order to ligate or close tissue and / or vessels, thereby reducing the efficiency of the particular surgical procedure. Therefore, to prevent excessive loss of fluid or blood dur...
