Two-stage switch for surgical device
First Claim
1. A surgical device control assembly, comprising:
- a control device operable to carry out at least two operational conditions of a surgical device; and
a button operatively connected to the control device, the button having;
a button-actuation direction in which the button actuates;
an unactuated position at a rest point of the button;
a first actuated position at first distance from the rest point in the button-actuation direction, the first actuated position effecting a first of the at least two operational conditions; and
a second actuated position at a second distance further from the rest point in the button-actuation direction than the first distance, the second actuated position effecting a second of the at least two operational conditions different from the first operational condition.

Abstract
A surgical device control assembly includes a control device operable to carry out at least two operational conditions of a surgical device and a button operatively connected to the control device. The button has a button-actuation direction in which the button actuates, an unactuated position at a rest point of the button, a first actuated position at first distance from the rest point in the button-actuation direction, and a second actuated position at a second distance further from the rest point in the button-actuation direction than the first distance. The first actuated position effects a first of the at least two operational conditions. The second actuated position effects a second of the at least two operational conditions different from the first operational condition.
