Abstract

A surgical end effector includes a clevis having a first end to be supported by an elongated tube-like member and two jaws, each having a pivot portion and a working portion. The pivot portions are rotatably coupled to the clevis by two spaced apart pivots. The working portions may include a cutting edge that provide a shearing action as the first and second jaws rotate about their respective pivots. The pivot portion and the working portion of each jaw may be on opposite sides of a bisecting plane. A flexible cable or wire may be coupled to each jaw and extend through a guide way in the other jaw, between the first and second pivots, and through the first end of the clevis. One or more springs may urge the working portions together. A rocking pin pivotally supported by the clevis may constrain the jaws to have opposite motions.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] Pursuant to 35 U.S.C. 119(e), this application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 61 / 356,551, filed June 18, 2010, which is hereby expressly incorporated by reference in its entirety. technical field [0003] Embodiments of the present invention relate to the field of surgical instruments; more particularly, to surgical shears supported by an elongated tubular member intended for use in minimally invasive surgical procedures. Background technique [0004] Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) (e.g., endoscopy, laparoscopy, thoracoscopy, cystoscopy, etc.) The patient undergoes surgery. Typically, a cannula is inserted through the incision, providing access for surgical instruments. The surgical site typically includes a body cavity, such as a patient's abdominal cavity. The body lumen can optionally be dilated by using a cleaning fluid, such as insufflation gas. In traditional minimally invasive surge...
