SURGICAL TOOL WITH MANUAL CONTROL OF END EFFECTOR JAWS

Abstract: a surgical tool of a robotic surgical device is provided that is configured to be removably and replaceably attached to an electromechanical arm of a surgical robotic system that is capable of supplying electrical power to the surgical tool when the tool is attached to the arm. the tool has an elongate shaft with an end effector having opposed jaws movable between open and closed positions. the tool also has a member configured to move distally and proximally within at least a portion of the end effector to open and close the jaws. an actuator disposed on the shaft is configured to be manually moved from a first position to a second position to cause the member to move proximally to thereby open the jaws when the surgical tool is in a mode in which it is not deriving electrical power from the surgical robotic system.
