Surgical tool with manual control of end effector jaws
First Claim
1. A robotic surgical device, comprising:
- a surgical tool 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 surgical tool is attached to the electromechanical arm, the surgical tool havinga substantially cylindrical elongate shaft having a longitudinal axis and extending distally from a housing, with an end effector at a distal end thereof, the end effector having opposed jaws that are movable between open and closed positions with at least one of the jaws comprising a removable and replaceable staple cartridge assembly,a member configured to move distally and proximally within at least a portion of the end effector to open and close the jaws, andan actuator extending through a slot formed in the shaft and located distally from a distal end of the housing;
the actuator configured to be manually moved within the slot along the longitudinal axis 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 first mode in which it is not deriving electrical power from the surgical robotic system.

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.

10. A method, comprising:
-
placing a surgical tool in a first mode in which it is not deriving electrical power from a surgical robotic system, the surgical tool being configured to be removably and replaceably attached to an electromechanical arm of the surgical robotic system that is capable of supplying electrical power to the surgical tool when the surgical tool is attached to the electromechanical arm; and when the surgical tool is in the first mode, manually moving an actuator extending through an opening formed in a substantially cylindrical elongated shaft of the surgical tool and along a longitudinal axis of the elongate shaft from a first position to a second position to cause a member extending through at least a portion of the elongate shaft to move proximally to open jaws that are part of an end effector of the surgical tool, the member being configured to move distally and proximally within at least a portion of the end effector to open and close the jaws, and the elongate shaft extending distally from a housing wherein the actuator is located distally from a distal end of the housing. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
