Estimating the term…
A surgical instrument connectable to a surgical energy module that is configured to provide a first drive signal at a first frequency range for driving a first energy modality and a second drive signal at a second frequency range for driving a second energy modality is provided. The surgical instrument can comprise a surgical instrument component configured to receive power from a direct current (DC) power source, an end effector, and a circuit. The circuit can be configured to convert the first electrical signal to a DC voltage, apply the DC voltage to the surgical instrument component, and deliver the second energy modality to the end effector according to the second drive signal. Alternatively, the circuit can be disposed within a cable assembly configured to connect the surgical instrument to the surgical energy module.
A surgical instrument connectable to a receptacle of a surgical energy module, the surgical energy module configured to provide, via the receptacle, a first drive signal at a first frequency range for driving a first energy modality and a second drive signal at a second frequency range for driving a second energy modality, the surgical instrument comprising:
A surgical instrument circuit for a surgical instrument connectable to a receptacle of a surgical energy module, the surgical energy module configured to provide, via the receptacle, a first drive signal at a first frequency range for driving a first energy modality and a second drive signal at a second frequency range for driving a second energy modality, the surgical instrument comprising a component configured to receive power from a direct current (DC) power source, the surgical instrument further comprising an end effector configured to apply the first energy modality to treat tissue and apply the second energy modality to treat tissue, the surgical instrument circuit configured to:
A surgical instrument cable for connecting a surgical instrument to a receptacle of a surgical energy module, the surgical energy module configured to provide, via the receptacle, a first drive signal at a first frequency range for driving a first energy modality and a second drive signal at a second frequency range for driving a second energy modality, the surgical instrument comprising a component configured to receive power from a direct current (DC) power source, the surgical instrument further comprising an end effector configured to apply the first energy modality to treat tissue and apply the second energy modality to treat tissue, the surgical instrument cable comprising:
