International Classification:
A61B 17/115
A61B 17/3205
Abstract:
A method of creating an anastomosis is provided using a stapling assembly including a body extending distally along a longitudinal axis and a deck member defining a deck surface. The deck surface includes a first array of staple openings comprising a herringbone pattern, and each staple opening of the first array of staple openings has a same size. The method includes positioning an anvil within a first lumen of a patient and positioning the stapling assembly within a second lumen of the patient. The method also includes releasably coupling the anvil with the stapling assembly and compressing tissue of the first and second lumens between the anvil and the deck member. The method further includes actuating a plurality of staple drivers to drive a first plurality of staples distally and parallel to the longitudinal axis from the first array of staple openings into the tissue to define the anastomosis.

US Patent:
20230051659, Feb 16, 2023
Filed:
Aug 13, 2021
Appl. No.:
17/401451
Inventors:
- Zug, CH
Jeffrey L. Aldridge - Lebanon OH, US
Nicholas M. Morgan - West Chester OH, US
Michael J. Stokes - Cincinnati OH, US
Marissa T. Kamenir - Cincinnati OH, US
John K. Bruce - Morrow OH, US
John S. Kimsey - Walton KY, US
International Classification:
A61B 17/115
A61B 17/064
Abstract:
A surgical stapler instrument includes a stapling head assembly that receives a plurality of staples. The staples are configured with features that allow the staples to expand after deployment so that an anastomosis created by the instrument can increase in size after forming. In some versions the staples expand automatically after deployment, and in other versions the staples expand in response to tissue forces imparted upon the staples after deployment. In some versions the staples are configured to be deployed in various patterns that promote expandability of the circular staple line.

US Patent:
20210007813, Jan 14, 2021
Filed:
Sep 28, 2020
Appl. No.:
17/034827
Inventors:
- Guaynabo PR, US
Kharyl Evenson George Stephens - Cincinnati OH, US
John Scott Kimsey - Walton KY, US
Lauren S. Weaner - West Chester OH, US
Joshua Dean Young - Loveland OH, US
Assignee:
Ethicon LLC - Guaynabo PR
International Classification:
A61B 34/30
A61B 17/29
Abstract:
A robotic surgical system includes a robotic manipulator that includes a mounting fixture defining a longitudinal channel, and a surgical tool removably coupleable to the mounting fixture. The surgical tool including a tool housing matable with the mounting fixture, an elongate shaft extending from the tool housing and receivable within the channel, and a latching mechanism provided on the elongate shaft and comprising one or more retention tabs biased radially outward with one or more biasing members. The one or more retention tabs are movable between a deployed state, where the one or more retention tabs protrude radially outward through a corresponding one or more slots to engage the mounting fixture, and a retracted state, where the one or more retention tabs are urged radially inward through the one or more slots to disengage the mounting fixture.

US Patent:
20200281596, Sep 10, 2020
Filed:
Sep 26, 2019
Appl. No.:
16/583690
Inventors:
- Guaynabo PR, US
Scott A. Jenkins - Mason OH, US
Daniel Pucke - Cincinnati OH, US
Douglas B. Hoffman - Harrison OH, US
Thomas E. Adams - Loveland OH, US

International Classification:
A61B 17/115
A61B 17/11
A61B 17/072
Abstract:
An apparatus includes a body, a shaft, and a stapling head assembly. The body includes a chassis, a bracket, a coupling, and a conical coil. The bracket is configured to move relative to the chassis between first and second positions when selectively activated by a user. The bracket includes an upright member. The conical coil spring is disposed between the bracket and the coupling. The conical coil spring includes a proximal end, a distal end, a conical helical body disposed between the proximal and distal ends, and at least one dead coil disposed at the distal end of the conical coil spring that is configured to prevent the distal end of the conical coil spring from being retained between the bracket and the chassis. The shaft extends distally from the body. The stapling head assembly is positioned at a distal end of the shaft.

Filed:
Nov 28, 2017
Appl. No.:
15/823851
Inventors:
- Guaynabo PR, US
Kharyl Evenson George Stephens - Cincinnati OH, US
John Scott Kimsey - Walton KY, US
Lauren S. Weaner - West Chester OH, US
Joshua Dean Young - Loveland OH, US
Assignee:
Ethicon LLC - Guaynabo PR
International Classification:
A61B 34/30
A61B 17/29
Abstract:
Robotic surgical tools can incorporate a latching mechanism as a secondary fastener to maintain operable coupling between the robotic surgical tool and a mounting fixture of a robotic manipulator. Such robotic surgical tools may comprise: a tool housing, an elongate shaft extending from the tool housing, and a latching mechanism arranged on the elongate shaft. The latching mechanism comprises one or more retention tabs that are biased radially outward with one or more biasing members. The one or more retention tabs are configured to transition between a retracted state and a deployed state under influence of a biasing force supplied by the one or more biasing members. In the deployed state, the one or more retention tabs are positioned to engage an exterior surface of a mounting fixture of a robotic manipulator. In the retracted state, the one or more retention tabs are positioned to disengage from the mounting fixture.
