A universal motor cartridge for a surgical instrument includes a reusable housing having a distal face and a bottom surface and configured to securely engage a disposable surgical instrument. Couplers disposed on the distal face are adapted to engage couplers disposed on the surgical instrument upon engagement of the housing. A plurality of electrical interfaces on the bottom surface are adapted to electrically engage corresponding electrical interfaces on the surgical instrument, such that, upon activation of each switch disposed on the surgical instrument, the corresponding electrical interface on the surgical instrument communicates with the corresponding electrical interface on the bottom surface of the housing, which, in turn, actuates the corresponding coupler to engage and actuate the respective coupler on the surgical instrument causing the surgical instrument to rotate/articulate a shaft, open/close a pair of jaw members, deform staples, move a knife or energize an end effector.

An electrosurgical instrument includes an end effector assembly including first and second jaw members. At least one of the first or second jaw members is movable about a pivot relative to the other from a spaced-apart position to an approximated position to grasp tissue between first and second opposed surfaces of the first and second jaw members, respectively. The electrosurgical instrument further includes an interface configured to provide a feedback related to a size of tissue grasped by the first and second jaw members. At least one of the first or second jaw members includes a touch sensor configured to sense a touch span where the tissue touches the at least one of the first or second opposed surfaces. The end effector assembly further includes an angle sensor configured to sense an angle α about the pivot between the first and second opposed surfaces.

A robotic surgical system including a robotic arm, a surgical instrument, a display, an input device, and a controller. The controller is in communication with the surgical instrument, the display, and the input device. The surgical instrument is configured to be coupled to the robotic arm. The display is configured to display an image of an area of interest of a surgical site. The input device is configured to be manipulated by a clinician. The controller is configured to generate a 3D model of the area of interest of the surgical site; display the 3D model on the display; generate a virtual surgical cut line corresponding to the movement of the input device relative to the 3D model; overlay the virtual surgical cut line on the 3D model; and cause the surgical instrument to cut the area of interest along a surgical cut line corresponding to the virtual surgical cut line with the surgical instrument.

A surgical system includes a surgical instrument configured for insertion into a surgical site, a sensor configured to sense at least one property of smoke at the surgical site, and a surgical generator including a controller and an energy output. The energy output is configured to supply energy to the surgical instrument for application to tissue at the surgical site to treat the tissue. The controller is configured to receive the at least one property, determine at least one parameter of smoke at the surgical site based upon the at least one property, and control the energy output based upon the at least one parameter and/or provide an output based upon the at least one parameter.

An electrosurgical system includes an end effector assembly and a sensor. The end effector assembly includes first and second jaw members each defining an electrically-conductive tissue-contacting surface. At least one of the first or second jaw members is movable relative to the other between a spaced-apart position and an approximated position for grasping tissue between the tissue-contacting surfaces thereof. The electrically-conductive tissue-contacting surfaces of the first and second jaw members are adapted to connect to a source of electrosurgical energy for conducting energy through tissue grasped therebetween to treat tissue. The sensor is configured to sense at least one property of smoke produced as a result of the conduction of energy through tissue grasped between the electrically-conductive tissue-contacting surfaces.
