AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

This invention is a surgical device that is powered by electricity. It uses that electricity to position an anvil and stapler cartridge for stapling and cutting tissue. The device also indicates the level of force applied to the tissue before firing the staples. The invention is compact and easy to use, with a unique design that allows for optimal tissue compression. The invention also includes a manual release device for recovery from partial actuation or jams. Additionally, the invention includes a cryptographic identification of disposable parts, such as the staple cartridge. Overall, this invention provides a more efficient, cost-effective, and comfortable surgical experience.

Problems solved by technology

It also decreases manufacturing difficulty by removing previously required nested (co-axial) hollow shafts.

Abstract

A surgical instrument includes a surgical end effector having a receiving portion for removably receiving therein an interchangeable part. The receiving portion has a communication connection. A handle connected to the end effector actuates the end effector. The handle has a controller electrically connected to the communication connection for authenticating the interchangeable part when placed at the end effector. An interchangeable part is removably connected to the receiving portion and has an encryption device electrically removably connected to the communication connection when placed at the receiving portion. The encryption device authenticates the interchangeable part when queried by the electric controller.
