US Patent:
8568408, Oct 29, 2013
Filed:
Apr 21, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/091331
Inventors:
Jeffrey R. Townsend - Loveland CO, US
Grant T. Sims - Littleton CO, US
Chase Collings - Hayden ID, US
Assignee:
Covidien LP - Mansfield MA
International Classification:
A61B 18/14
A61B 17/29
US Classification:
606 48, 606 51, 606205
Abstract:
A forceps includes an end effector assembly having first and second jaw members. One (or both) of the first and second jaw members is moveable relative to the other between a spaced-apart position and an approximated position for grasping tissue therebetween. One (or both) of the jaw members includes a jaw frame a disposable jaw housing and an elastomeric ring member. The disposable jaw housing is releasably engageable with the jaw frame. The elastomeric ring member is removably positionable about a distal end of the jaw housing. The elastomeric ring member is configured to define a gap distance between the first and second jaw members upon movement of the first and second jaw members to the approximated position.

US Patent:
8628557, Jan 14, 2014
Filed:
Jul 11, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/180018
Inventors:
Chase Collings - Hayden ID, US
Grant T. Sims - Littleton CO, US
Jeffrey R. Townsend - Loveland CO, US
Assignee:
Covidien LP - Mansfield MA
International Classification:
A61B 17/00
US Classification:
606205, 606207
Abstract:
A forceps includes a pair of shafts each having a jaw member disposed at a distal end thereof. One (or both) of the shafts is moveable relative to the other about a pivot pin between a spaced-apart position and an approximated position to move the jaw members between an open position and a closed position. A knife assembly includes a knife blade mechanically keyed to the pivot pin and moveable between an initial position, wherein the knife blade is disposed within one of the jaw members, and an extended position, wherein the knife blade extends between the jaw members. An actuator arm(s) is mechanically keyed to the pivot pin and extends therefrom. The actuator arm(s) is moveable between an un-actuated position and an actuated position to rotate the pivot pin relative to the jaw members to move the knife blade between the initial position and the extended position.

US Patent:
20130018372, Jan 17, 2013
Filed:
Jul 11, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/179975
Inventors:

B23P 11/00
A61B 17/285
US Classification:
606 45, 606167, 29434
Abstract:
A forceps includes first and second shaft members each having a jaw member disposed at a distal end thereof. One (or both) of the first and second jaw members is moveable relative to the other between a spaced-apart position and an approximated position for grasping tissue therebetween. The first jaw member includes a jaw frame fixedly engaged to the first shaft member and a disposable jaw housing releasably engageable with the jaw frame. The disposable jaw housing includes a knife assembly disposed therein. The knife assembly includes a knife blade biased toward an initial position, wherein the knife blade is disposed within the jaw housing. The knife blade is moveable between the initial position and an extended position, wherein the knife blade extends at least partially from the jaw housing to cut tissue grasped between the first and second jaw members.
