Electro-mechanical surgical device
First Claim
1. A handheld electromechanical driver assembly, comprising:
- a handle portion including;
at least one electric motor connected to a power source;
at least one steering member connected to and actuatable by the at least one electric motor; and
a manually actuatable steering device effecting actuation of the at least one electric motor; and
a shaft portion extending from the handle portion, the shaft portion defining a single articulated length;
wherein actuation of the at least one electric motor triggers the at least one steering member to articulate a distal end of the shaft portion.

Abstract
An electromechanical surgical device includes a motor system configured to drive drive-shafts and a steering cable arrangement. A control system may be provided for controlling the motor system. A remote control unit may also be provided for controlling the motor system via the control system. Optical or Hall-effect devices, may be provided for determining the position of the elements of the surgical instrument based on the detected rotation of the drive-shafts. A memory unit stores a plurality of operating programs or algorithms, each corresponding to a type of surgical instrument attachable to the electro-mechanical surgical device. The control system reads or selects from the plurality of operating programs or algorithms, the operating program or algorithm corresponding to the type of surgical instrument attached to the electromechanical surgical device.
