Abstract
A surgical system for use in a surgical theater is disclosed. The surgical system comprises a surgical tool and a surgical hub. The surgical tool comprises a motor, a motor controller in signal communication with the motor, and an end effector configured to perform an end effector function. The end effector is operably responsive to the motor. The surgical hub is in signal communication with the motor controller. The surgical hub is configured to detect a contextual cue within the surgical theater. The motor controller is configured to adjust an operating parameter of the motor based on the contextual cue detected by the surgical hub.
Claims23
A surgical system for use in a surgical theater, comprising:
- a surgical tool, comprising:
- a motor;
- a motor controller in signal communication with said motor;
- and
- an end effector configured to perform an end effector function, wherein said end effector is operably responsive to said motor;
- and
- a surgical hub in signal communication with said motor controller, wherein said surgical hub is configured to determine a patient condition based on a detected contextual cue within the surgical theater, wherein said contextual cue comprises biometric data of a patient, wherein said motor controller is configured to adjust an operating parameter of said motor based on said patient condition determined by said surgical hub.
A surgical system for use in a surgical theater, comprising:
- a clip applier, comprising:
- a motor;
- a motor controller in signal communication with said motor;
- a crimping drive operably responsive to said motor;
- and
- an end effector, comprising:
- a first jaw;
- and
- a second jaw, wherein said first jaw and said second jaw are movable relative to each other from an open position toward a closed position in response to a translation of said crimping drive during a crimping stroke;
- and
- a surgical hub in signal communication with said motor controller, wherein said surgical hub is configured to determine a patient condition based on a detected contextual cue within the surgical theater, wherein said contextual cue comprises biometric data of a patient, wherein said motor controller is configured to adjust said crimping stroke of said crimping drive based on said patient condition determined by said surgical hub.
A surgical system for use in a surgical theater, comprising:
- a surgical tool, comprising:
- a motor configured to output a rotary motion;
- a motor controller configured to control said motor;
- and
- a distal head configured to execute a distal head function, wherein said distal head function is executed in response to said rotary motion of said motor;
- and
- a surgical hub in signal communication with said motor controller, wherein said surgical hub is configured to determine a patient condition based on a detected contextual cue within the surgical theater, wherein said contextual cue comprises biometric data of a patient, wherein said motor controller is configured to adjust said rotary motion of said motor based on said determined patient condition.
A surgical system for use in a surgical theater, comprising:
- a surgical tool, comprising:
- a motor;
- and
- an end effector configured to be operably responsive to said motor;
- a sensing tool configured to detect a contextual cue independent of said surgical tool;
- and
- a surgical hub in signal communication with said surgical tool and said sensing tool, wherein said surgical hub is configured to determine a patient condition based on said detected contextual cue, wherein said surgical hub is configured to adjust an operating parameter of said motor based, at least in part, on said patient condition, wherein said detected contextual cue comprises at least one of:
- a blood pressure, a cholesterol level, a co-morbidity, a history of smoking, a history of obesity, a family medical condition, bacterial activity, and polyarteritis nodosa, or combinations thereof.
