Abstract
A surgical tool including a lockout mechanism is provided. The surgical tool may include an instrument mounting portion including a shaft assembly coupled to and extending distally from the instrument mounting portion and an end effector including a reciprocatable element coupled to a distal end of the shaft assembly. The surgical tool may further include an energy source configured to deliver energy to the end effector and an actuation mechanism configured to actuate the end effector. The actuation mechanism may be configured to reciprocate the reciprocatable element of the end effector. The lockout mechanism may be operably interfaced with the actuation mechanism to control reciprocating movement of the reciprocatable element.

39. A surgical tool, comprising:
-
an instrument mounting portion mechanically and electrically coupleable to a manipulator; a shaft coupled to and extending distally from the instrument mounting portion; an end effector coupled to a distal end of the shaft, wherein the end effector comprises a reciprocatable member, and wherein the end effector comprises a first energized state and a second de-energized state; an energy source configured to energize the end effector; an actuation mechanism configured to actuate the end effector, wherein the actuation mechanism is configured to reciprocate the reciprocatable member of the end effector; and a lockout mechanism coupled to the actuation mechanism and the instrument mounting portion, wherein the lockout mechanism is configured to allow reciprocating movement of the reciprocatable member in the first energized state. - View Dependent Claims (40)
