==ADAPTATION OF INDEPENDENT FIRING AND CLOSURE POWERED STAPLING SYSTEMS - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17957946 titled 'ADAPTATION OF INDEPENDENT FIRING AND CLOSURE POWERED STAPLING SYSTEMS

==Simplified Explanation==

The surgical instrument described in the patent application includes a motor-powered firing system and a motor-powered closure system controlled by a control system. The firing motor drives a firing member between unfired and fired positions, while the closure motor transitions an end effector between open and clamped states. The control system sets parameters for the closure system based on input, drives the end effector towards the clamped state, monitors parameters associated with the transition, sets parameters for the firing system based on input and monitored parameters, and drives the firing member towards the fired position.

* The surgical instrument includes a motor-powered firing system and a motor-powered closure system.
* The firing motor drives a firing member between unfired and fired positions.
* The closure motor transitions an end effector between open and clamped states.
* The control system sets parameters for the closure system based on input and drives the end effector towards the clamped state.
* The control system monitors parameters associated with the transition and sets parameters for the firing system based on input and monitored parameters.
* The control system drives the firing member towards the fired position.

== Potential Applications ==
The technology described in the patent application could be applied in various surgical procedures where precise control over the firing and closure mechanisms is required, such as in minimally invasive surgeries or robotic-assisted surgeries.

== Problems Solved ==
This technology solves the problem of manual operation of surgical instruments, providing more precise control over the firing and closure mechanisms. It also helps in reducing the risk of human error during surgical procedures.

== Benefits ==
The benefits of this technology include improved accuracy and efficiency in surgical procedures, reduced risk of complications, and enhanced patient outcomes. It also allows for better control and customization of the surgical instrument based on the specific requirements of each procedure.

== Potential Commercial Applications ==
"Motor-Powered Surgical Instrument Technology for Enhanced Precision and Control" 
This technology could be commercialized by medical device companies manufacturing surgical instruments for various specialties, including general surgery, orthopedics, and gynecology. It could also be integrated into robotic surgical systems for advanced procedures.

== Possible Prior Art ==
One possible prior art for this technology could be existing motor-powered surgical instruments with firing and closure systems, although the specific control system described in the patent application may be a novel feature.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

A surgical instrument is disclosed including a motor-powered firing system comprising a firing motor, a motor-powered closure system comprising a closure motor, and a control system. The firing motor is configured to drive a firing member between an unfired position and a fired position. The closure motor is configured to transition an end effector between an open state and a clamped state. The control system is configured to set a first parameter of the motor-powered closure system, based on a received first input, drive the end effector toward the clamped state with the motor-powered closure system using the first parameter, monitor a second parameter associated with the end effector transitioning toward the clamped state, set a third parameter of the motor-powered firing system, based on a received second input and the monitored second parameter, and drive the firing member toward the fired position using the third parameter.
