Definitions
- the present invention generally relates to ultrasonic surgical systems and, more particularly, to an ultrasonic device that is optimized to allow surgeons to perform cutting, coagulation, and fine dissection required in fine and delicate surgical procedures such as a thyroidectomy.
- Ultrasonic surgical instruments are finding increasingly widespread applications in surgical procedures by virtue of the unique performance characteristics of such instruments.
- ultrasonic surgical instruments can provide substantially simultaneous cutting of tissue and homeostasis by coagulation, desirably minimizing patient trauma.
- the cutting action is typically effected by an end-effector at the distal end of the instrument, which transmits ultrasonic energy to tissue brought into contact with the end-effector.
- Ultrasonic instruments of this nature can be configured for open surgical use, laparoscopic or endoscopic surgical procedures including robotic-assisted procedures.
- Ultrasonic surgical instruments have been developed that include a clamp mechanism to press tissue against the blade of the end-effector in order to couple ultrasonic energy to the tissue of a patient.
- a clamp mechanism to press tissue against the blade of the end-effector in order to couple ultrasonic energy to the tissue of a patient.
- Such an arrangement (sometimes referred to as a clamp coagulator shears or an ultrasonic transector) is disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,322,055; 5,873,873 and 6,325,811. The surgeon activates the clamp arm to press the clamp pad against the blade by squeezing on the handgrip or handle.
- Some current designs of clamp coagulator shears utilize a foot pedal to energize the surgical instrument.
- the surgeon operates the foot pedal while simultaneously applying pressure to the handle to press tissue between the jaw and blade to activate a generator that provides energy that is transmitted to the cutting blade for cutting and coagulating tissue.
- Key drawbacks with this type of instrument activation include the loss of focus on the surgical field while the surgeon searches for the foot pedal, the foot pedal getting in the way of the surgeon's movement during a procedure and surgeon leg fatigue during long cases.
- curved end effector balancing which include repositioning the mass along the end effector.
- the drawbacks of such methods are i) high stresses in the curved region, which makes the end effector more prone to fracture if it comes in contact with metal during surgery; ii) a shorter active length, which limits the vessel size that can be operated on, (the active length is defined as the length from the distal end of the blade to where the displacement is one half of the displacement at its distal end); and/or iii) the inability to separately balance orthogonal displacements.
- Some current designs of clamp coagulator shears utilize handles that are either of a pistol or scissors grips design.
- the scissor grip designs may have one thumb or finger grip that is immovable and fixed to the housing and one movable thumb or finger grip. This type of grip may not be entirely familiar to surgeons who use other open-type surgical instruments, such as hemostats, where both thumb and finger grips move in opposition to one another.
- Current designs have scissor arms that rotate around a fixed pivot or rotation point that is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the working element. This approach is limited since the relative motion between the two arms is completely rotational. This feature limits the ability to control the pressure profile between the two working ends when fully closed.
- Some current designs of clamp coagulator shears are not specifically designed for delicate procedures where precise dissection, cutting and coagulation are required.
- An exemplary procedure is a thyroidectomy where precise dissection, cutting and coagulation is required to avoid critical blood vessels and nerve bundles.
- An ultrasonic clamp coagulator assembly embodying the principles of the present invention is configured to permit selective dissection, cutting, coagulation and clamping of tissue during surgical procedures.
- a first expression of a first embodiment of the invention is for an ultrasonic waveguide including an ultrasonically actuated blade attached to the distal end of the waveguide; a tissue pad having a tissue engaging surface having a first width and a second width less than the first width; and a clamp member defining a distal portion and a proximal portion and moveable with respect to the blade and having an open position in which at least a portion of the clamp member is spaced from the blade and a closed position in which the clamp member is adjacent to the blade for clamping tissue between the tissue pad and the blade.
- a second expression of a first embodiment includes a clamp member defining a first dimension and a second dimension in a first plane and the first dimension is greater than the second dimension and further defining a first dimension and a second dimension in a second plane and the first dimension is greater than the second dimension.
- a first expression of a third embodiment includes a method of assembling a sterilized ultrasonic clamp coagulator apparatus including the steps of providing an ultrasonic waveguide having a proximal end and a distal end and an ultrasonically actuated blade attached to the distal end of the waveguide; a tissue pad having a flange and a tissue engaging surface having a first width and a second width less than the first width; a clamp member moveable with respect to said end-effector and having an open position in which at least a portion of the clamp member is spaced from the blade and a closed position in which the clamp member is adjacent to the blade for clamping tissue between the tissue pad and the blade, and where the clamp member includes a slot for slidably receiving the flange and slidably engaging the flange within the slot and then sterilizing the clamp coagulator apparatus.
- a first expression of a fourth embodiment of an ultrasonic surgical instrument is for a housing configured to accept a transducer and further defining a longitudinal axis; a first switch positioned on the housing for actuation by one or more fingers of a user in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis and further electrically connected to a generator for providing an electrical signal to the generator for controlling a first level of ultrasonic energy delivered by the transducer.
- a second expression of a fourth embodiment of an ultrasonic surgical instrument is for a second switch positioned on the housing for actuation by one or more fingers of a user in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis and further electrically connected to a generator for providing an electrical signal to the generator for controlling a second level of ultrasonic energy delivered by the transducer.
- a first expression of a fifth embodiment of an ultrasonic surgical instrument is for an ultrasonic waveguide defining a longitudinal axis, having a proximal end, a most distal node and a distal end and an ultrasonically actuated blade positioned at the distal end of the waveguide and which defines a functional asymmetry within a first plane, a first balance asymmetry distal to the most distal node and proximal to the blade; and a second balance asymmetry proximal to the most distal node.
- a first expression of a sixth embodiment of an ultrasonic surgical instrument is for a housing, an outer shroud having a proximal end joined to the housing, an ultrasonic waveguide positioned within the outer tube, an ultrasonically actuated blade positioned at the distal end of the waveguide, and an actuating lever for operating a clamp arm located at the distal end of the lever.
- the actuating lever has camming members, which operatively engage the outer tube such that movement of the actuating lever positions the clamp arm between open and clamped positions relative to the blade.
- a second expression of a sixth embodiment of an ultrasonic instrument is for stationary finger ring that defines an opening having a length L and the housing and a transducer are sized to position a center of gravity of the surgical instrument at the housing within the dimension of length L.
- a first expression of a first embodiment of a torque wrench for use with an ultrasonic clamp coagulator apparatus is for a hand wrench body, a cantilever arm movably attached to said wrench body, at least one tooth located at the cantilever arm's distal end, and an adaptor rotatably attached to the hand wrench and comprising a cam for operatively engaging the tooth.

- the present invention is particularly directed to an improved ultrasonic surgical clamp coagulator apparatus which is configured for effecting tissue cutting, coagulation, and/or clamping during surgical procedures, including delicate surgical procedures, such as a thyroidectomy.
- the present apparatus is configured for use in open surgical procedures. Versatile use is facilitated by selective use of ultrasonic energy.
- ultrasonic components of the apparatus When ultrasonic components of the apparatus are inactive, tissue can be readily gripped and manipulated, as desired, without tissue cutting or damage.
- the ultrasonic components When the ultrasonic components are activated, the apparatus permits tissue to be gripped for coupling with the ultrasonic energy to effect tissue coagulation, with application of increased pressure efficiently effecting tissue cutting and coagulation. If desired, ultrasonic energy can be applied to tissue without use of the clamping mechanism of the apparatus by appropriate manipulation of the ultrasonic blade.
- the present clamp coagulator apparatus is particularly configured for disposable use by virtue of its straightforward construction. As such, it is contemplated that the apparatus be used in association with an ultrasonic generator unit of a surgical system, whereby ultrasonic energy from the generator unit provides the desired ultrasonic actuation for the present clamp coagulator apparatus. It will be appreciated that a clamp coagulator apparatus embodying the principles of the present invention can be configured for non-disposable or multiple use, and non-detachably integrated with an associated ultrasonic generator unit. However, detachable connection of the present clamp coagulator apparatus with an associated ultrasonic generator u nit is presently preferred for single-patient use of the apparatus.
- the surgical system 19 includes an ultrasonic generator 30 connected to an ultrasonic transducer 50 via cable 22 , and an ultrasonic surgical instrument 100 .
- the ultrasonic transducer 50 is referred to as a “hand piece assembly” because the surgical instrument of the surgical system 19 is configured such that a surgeon may grasp and manipulate the ultrasonic transducer 50 during various procedures and operations.
- a suitable generator is the GEN04 (also referred to as Generator 300 ) sold by Ethicon Endo-Surgery, Inc. of Cincinnati, Ohio.
- a suitable transducer is disclosed in co-pending U.S. patent application filed on Oct. 10, 2006, Ser. No. ______ (Attorney Docket# END5747USNP1), entitled MEDICAL ULTRASOUND SYSTEM AND HANDPIECE AND METHODS FOR MAKING AND TUNING, the contents which are incorporated by reference herein.
- the acoustic assembly of surgical instrument 100 generally includes a first acoustic portion and a second acoustic portion.
- the first acoustic portion comprises the ultrasonically active portions of ultrasonic transducer 50
- the second acoustic portion comprises the ultrasonically active portions of transmission assembly 71 .
- the distal end of the first acoustic portion is operatively coupled to the proximal end of the second acoustic portion by, for example, a threaded connection.
- the ultrasonic surgical instrument 100 includes a multi-piece handle assembly 68 adapted to isolate the operator from the vibrations of the acoustic assembly contained within transducer 50 .
- the handle assembly 68 can be shaped to be held by a user in a conventional mariner, but it is contemplated that the present ultrasonic surgical instrument 100 principally be grasped and manipulated in a scissor-like arrangement provided by a handle assembly of the instrument, as will be described. While multi-piece handle assembly 68 is illustrated, the handle assembly 68 may comprise a single or unitary component.
- the proximal end of the ultrasonic surgical instrument 100 receives and is fitted to the distal end of the ultrasonic transducer 50 by insertion of the transducer into the handle assembly 68 .
- the ultrasonic surgical instrument 100 may be attached to and removed from the ultrasonic transducer 50 as a unit.
- the ultrasonic surgical instrument 100 may include a handle assembly 68 , comprising mating housing portions 69 and 70 and an ultrasonic transmission assembly 71 .
- the elongated transmission assembly 71 of the ultrasonic surgical instrument 100 extends orthogonally from the instrument handle assembly 68 .
- the handle assembly 68 may be constructed from a durable plastic, such as polycarbonate or a liquid crystal polymer. It is also contemplated that the handle assembly 68 may alternatively be made from a variety of materials including other plastics, ceramics or metals. Traditional unfilled thermoplastics, however, have a thermal conductivity of only about 0.20 W/m° K. (Watt/meter-° Kelvin). In order to improve heat dissipation from the instrument, the handle assembly may be constructed from heat conducting thermoplastics, such as high heat resistant resins liquid crystal polymer (LCP), Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS), Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) and Polysulfone having thermal conductivity in the range of 20-100 W/m° K. PEEK resin is a thermoplastics filled with aluminum nitride or boron nitride, which are not electrically conductive. The thermally conductive resin helps to manage the heat within smaller instruments.
- LCP high heat resistant resins liquid crystal polymer
- PPS Poly
- the transmission assembly 71 includes a waveguide 80 and a blade 79 . It will be noted that, in some applications, the transmission assembly is sometimes referred to as a “blade assembly”.
- the waveguide 80 which is adapted to transmit ultrasonic energy from transducer 50 to the tip of blade 79 may be flexible, semi-flexible or rigid.
- the waveguide 80 may also be configured to amplify the mechanical vibrations transmitted through the waveguide 80 to the blade 79 as is well known in the art.
- the waveguide 80 may further have features to control the gain of the longitudinal vibration along the waveguide 80 and features to tune the waveguide 80 to the resonant frequency of the system.
- waveguide 80 may have any suitable cross-sectional dimension.
- the waveguide 80 may have a substantially uniform cross-section or the waveguide 80 may be tapered at various sections or may be tapered along its entire length.
- Ultrasonic waveguide 80 may, for example, have a length substantially equal to an integral number of one-half system wavelengths (n ⁇ /2).
- the ultrasonic waveguide 80 and blade 79 may be preferably fabricated from a solid core shaft constructed out of material, which propagates ultrasonic energy efficiently, such as titanium alloy (i.e., Ti-6Al-4V), aluminum alloys, sapphire, stainless steel or any other acoustically compatible material.
- Ultrasonic waveguide 80 may further include at least one radial hole or aperture 66 extending therethrough, substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the waveguide 80 .
- the aperture 66 which may be positioned at a node, is configured to receive a connector pin 27 , discussed below, which connects the waveguide 80 , to the handle assembly 70 .
- Blade 79 may be integral with the waveguide 80 and formed as a single unit. In an alternate expression of the current embodiment, blade 79 may be connected by a threaded connection, a welded joint, or other coupling mechanisms. The distal end of the blade 79 is disposed near an anti-node 85 in order to tune the acoustic assembly to a preferred resonant frequency f o when the acoustic assembly is not loaded by tissue.
- blade 79 or blade tip 79 a When ultrasonic transducer 50 is energized, the distal end of blade 79 or blade tip 79 a is configured to move substantially longitudinally (along the x axis) in the range of, for example, approximately 10 to 500 microns peak-to-peak, and preferably in the range of about 20 to about 200 microns at a predetermined vibrational frequency f o of, for example, 55,500 Hz. Blade tip 79 a also preferably vibrates in the y axis at about 1 to about 10 percent of the motion in the x axis.
- the blade tip 79 a provides a functional asymmetry or curved portion for improved visibility at the blade tip so that a surgeon can verify that the blade 79 extends across the structure being cut or coagulated. This is especially important in verifying margins for large blood vessels.
- the geometry also provides for improved tissue access by more closely replicating the curvature of biological structures.
- Blade 79 provides a multitude of edges and surfaces, designed to provide a multitude of tissue effects: clamped coagulation, clamped cutting, grasping, back-cutting, dissection, spot coagulation, tip penetration and tip scoring.
- Blade tip 79 a is commonly referred to as a functional asymmetry. That is, the blade (functionally, the blade provides a multitude of tissue effects) lies outside the longitudinal axis of waveguide 80 (that is, asymmetrical with the longitudinal axis), and accordingly creates an imbalance in the ultrasonic waveguide. If the imbalance is not corrected, then undesirable heat, noise, and compromised tissue effect occur.
- transmission assembly 71 includes one or more balancing features placed at blade 79 , at a position proximal and/or distal to the distal most node 84 .
- the balancing features at the waveguide 80 are shaped to balance the two orthogonal modes in the y and z axes, separately. The size and shape and location of the balance features allow flexibility to reduce stress at the blade 79 , make the active length longer and separately balance the two orthogonal modes.
- FIGS. 3 A-B show a single balance cut 82 at the waveguide 80 distal to node 84 .
- balance cut 82 has side walls perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of waveguide 80 and the bottom cut is parallel to the longitudinal axis of waveguide 80 .
- the high stresses experienced during operation are localized at the balancing cut 82 , which is away from the more sensitive curved region at the blade 79 .
- FIG. 3C shows two balancing features 82 and 82 a , one distal and one proximal to the node 84 .
- Adding second balance cut 82 a , proximal to node 84 further eliminates the orthogonal bending modes thereby providing a more pure longitudinal motion (x direction) and removing the overlapping bending modes (y and z direction). Accordingly, the blade 79 is better balanced and has a longer active length.
- FIG. 3D shows two balancing features 82 c and 82 a , distal and proximal to the node 84 .
- An angled bottom cut at balance feature 82 c allows individual balancing of the bending mode in the z direction.
- FIGS. 3 E-F show two balancing features 82 and 82 d , distal and proximal to the node 84 .
- the side walls of balance feature 82 d are angled with respect to each other in the x-z plane and provide for individual balancing of the bending mode in the y direction.
- the angled side walls define an, included angle ? of between 1° and about 90°, preferably between about 15° and about 25°, and more preferably between about 19° and about 21°.
- the weight removed at each balance feature is a function of multiple parameters including the radius of curvature at blade tip 79 a and the desired level of removal of the overlapping bending modes in the y and z direction.
- the balance cut 82 represents a weight reduction of about 0.003 to about 0.004 oz., and most preferably about 0.0034 oz.
- the balance cut 82 d represents a weight reduction of about 0.004 to about 0.005 oz., and most preferably about 0.0043 oz.
- FIG. 3G shows one balance cut 82 e in the curved blade region in addition to balance feature 82 , distal to node 84 .
- Balance cut 82 e allows for balancing as well as improved acoustic performance as a result of wide frequency separation of transverse modes from the fundamental frequency, which is the longitudinal mode frequency.
- balance cuts 82 through 82 e are possible to provide balancing of a waveguide and curved blade.
- FIG. 4 shows that the profile produced by the balancing cut features of FIG. 3E produces a 1.3 mm longer active length along the longitudinal displacement direction than is available from an LCS-C5 ultrasonic clamp coagulator, sold by Ethicon Endo-Surgery, Inc. (where the y axis is representative of the ratio between the displacement anywhere along blade tip 79 a and the displacement at the most distal end of blade tip 79 a ).
- a longer active length is desirable for cutting and coagulating large vessels, for example, 5-7 mm vessels.
- FIG. 5 shows that the profile produced by the balancing features of FIG. 3E produces a 2.5 mm longer active length (along the vector sum of displacements in the x, y and z directions) than is available from an LCS-C5 ultrasonic clamp coagulator, which is desirable for cutting and coagulating large vessels, for example, 5-7 mm vessels.
- an outer tubular member or outer shroud 72 attaches to the most proximal end of handle assembly 70 .
- Attached to the distal end of the outer shroud 72 is a distal shroud 76 .
- Both the outer shroud 72 and distal shroud 76 may attach via a snap fit, press fit, glue or other mechanical means.
- Extending distally from the distal shroud 76 is the end-effector 81 , which comprises the blade 79 and clamp member 56 , also commonly referred to as a jaw, in combination with one or more tissue pads 58 .
- a seal 83 may be provided at the distal-most node 84 , nearest the end-effector 81 , to abate passage of tissue, blood, and other material in the region between the waveguide 80 and the distal shroud 76 .
- Seal 83 may be of any known construction, such as an o-ring or silicon overmolded at node 84 .
- blade 79 is curved along with the associated clamp member 56 .
- One benefit of the invention, however, is the ability to perform finer, more delicate surgical procedures. It is also multifunctional and able to dissect tissue as well as coagulate and transect.
- the ability to finely dissect is enabled primarily by the tapering of the end effector 81 .
- the end effector is tapered in two planes, which mimics typical hemostats. This allows the user to create windows in the tissue and then spread the tissue apart more easily.
- the blade 79 and clamp member 56 are tapered in both the x and z directions from the proximal end to the distal end.
- the pad 58 is only tapered in the Z direction. That is, the clamp pad 58 has a constant thickness, but the width of the clamp pad 58 at the distal end is less than the width at the proximal end. Accordingly, the surface area of section A is greater than the surface area of section B.
- the radius at the distal end of the blade 79 and clamp member 56 also promotes fine dissection.
- the radius at the tip of the clamp member 56 is approximately 0.040 inches, and the blade radius is approximately 0.045 inches.
- blade 79 is defined by an inside radius R 1 and an outside radius R 2 measured at a distance D 1 from the longitundinal axis.
- the dimensions R 1 , R 2 and D 1 are selected in combination with the balance cuts previously discussed.
- R 1 is from about 0.80 inches to about 1.00 inches and most preferably about 0.95 inches
- R 2 is from about 0.90 inches to about 1.10 inches and most preferably about 1.04 inches
- D 1 is from about 0.90 inches to about 1.10 inches and most preferably about 0.99 inches.
- FIGS. 6B and 6D further illustrate a second expression of the blade 79 .
- Illustrated is a radius cut 90 in blade 79 to provide two back cutting edges 92 and 92 a .
- radius cut 90 also provides a balance asymmetry within the functional symmetry to help balance the orthogonal modes.
- the back cutting edges 92 and 92 a are positioned opposite the clamp pad 58 ( FIG. 7B ) to allow the surgeon to perform tissue cutting procedures without the assistance of the clamp pad 58 .
- the radius cut is distal to the most distal tip of blade 79 to allow for a blunt radius tip for tissue dissection as discussed above.
- a radius cut R 3 is swept across an angle F measured at a distance D 2 from the longitudinal axis and starting a distance D 3 from the distal tip of blade 79 .
- R 3 is from about 0.030 inches to about 0.060 inches and most preferably about 0.050 inches; angle F is from about 20° to about 35° and most preferably about 30°; D 2 is about 0.90 inches to about 1.10 inches and most preferably about 0.99 inches; and D 3 is from about 0.085 inches to about 0.11 inches and most preferably about 0.09 inches.
- FIG. 6C illustrates a taper defined by angle O relative to an axis parallel to the longitudinal axis of waveguide 80 from the proximal end of blade 79 to the distal end of blade 79 .
- the taper may be on the blade surface that contacts tissue pad 58 ( FIG. 7A ).
- the taper may be the defined by the opposite surface comprising radius cut 90 .
- angle O ranges from about 0.5° to about 5°, and preferably from about 1.5° to about 2°.
- waveguide 80 is positioned within cavity 59 of handle assembly 68 .
- pin 27 extends through opening 66 of waveguide 80 (located at a node) and engages channel 28 (formed by the mating of housing portions 69 and 70 ).
- pin 27 is made of any compatible metal, such as stainless steel or titanium or a durable plastic, such as polycarbonate or a liquid crystal polymer.
- pin 27 is partially coated with an elasto-meric material 30 , such as silicon for that portion 29 of pin 27 that extends through waveguide 80 and uncoated for that portion of pin 27 that engages members 69 and 70 .
- the silicone provides insulation from the vibrating blade throughout the length of hole 66 . This enables high efficiency operation whereby minimal overheating is generated and maximum ultrasonic output power is available at the blade tip for cutting and coagulation.
- the lack of insulation allows pin 27 to be held firmly within handle assembly 68 due to the lack of insulation, which would provide deformation and movement if pin 27 were completely coated with an insulating material.
- clamp member 56 has a shaped slot 57 for accepting one or more tissue pads. This configuration prevents mis-loading of the tissue pads and assures that the appropriate pad is loaded at the correct location within clamp member 56 .
- clamp member 56 may comprise a T-shaped slot 57 to accept a T-shaped flange 55 of clamp pad 58 .
- Two mechanical stops 59 and 59 a when depressed, engage the proximal end of clamp pad 58 to secure the clamp pad within clamp member 56 .
- flanges and corresponding slots may have alternate shapes and sizes to secure the clamp pads to the clamp arm.
- the illustrated flange configurations shown are exemplary only and accommodate the particular clamp pad material of one embodiment, but the particular size and shape of the flange may vary, including, but not limited to, flanges of the same size and shape.
- the flange may be of one configuration.
- other tab stops are possible and may include any of the multiple methods of mechanically attaching the clamp pads to the clamp arm, such as rivets, glue, press fit or any other fastening means well know to the artisan.
- clamp pad 58 consists of a first tissue pad 58 b and a second pad portion 58 a , which may be an insert within pad 58 b .
- Tissue pad 58 b may comprise a tissue engaging surface having saw tooth-like teeth and proximal portion 58 a may have a smoother surface relative to pad 58 b .
- the advantage of two separate components 58 a and 58 b is that each pad may be constructed from different materials.
- having a two-piece tissue pad allows the use of a very lubricious material at the distal end that is not particularly resistant to high temperatures compared to a very high temperature material at the proximal end that is not particularly lubricious because the proximal end is an area of lower amplitude.
- Such a configuration matches the tissue pad materials to the amplitude of the blade 79 .
- clamp pad 58 b is formed from TEFLON® or any other suitable low-friction material.
- Clamp pad 58 a is formed from a base material and at least one filler material, which is a different material from the base material.
- the surface of proximal clamp pad 58 a may be smoother than distal clamp pad 58 b , or proximal clamp pad 58 a may also have a similar type saw-tooth configuration.
- tissue pad with a base material and at-least-one filler material allows the base material and the at-least-one filler material to be chosen with a different hardness, stiffness, lubricity, dynamic coefficient of friction, heat transfer coefficient, abradability, heat deflection temperature, glass transition temperature and/or melt temperature to improve the wearability of the tissue pad, which is important when high clamping forces are employed because tissue pads wear faster at higher clamping forces than at lower clamping forces.
- a tissue pad with a base material and at least two filler materials allows the base material and the at-least-two filler materials to be chosen with a different hardness, stiffness, lubricity, dynamic coefficient of friction, heat transfer coefficient, abradability, heat deflection temperature, and/or melt temperature to improve the wearability of the tissue pad, which is important when high clamping forces are employed because tissue pads wear faster at higher clamping forces than at lower clamping forces.
- a 15% graphite-filled, 30% PTFE-filled polyimide tissue pad showed substantially the same or better wear with a 4.5 pound clamping force as a 100% polytetrafluoroethylene tissue pad showed with a 1.5 pound clamping force.
- the advantage of a 15% graphite-filled, 30% PTFE-filled polyimide tissue pad is increased heat resistance, which improves the overall wear resistance of the tissue pad.
- This polyimide-composite clamp pad has a useful heat resistance up about 800° F. to about 1200° F., as compared to a useful heat resistance up to about 660° F. of a PTFE clamp pad.
- Other materials are also useful for a portion of the tissue pad, such as ceramics, metals, glasses and graphite.
- FIGS. 10 A-C disclose a first expression of an embodiment of attaching a two part clamp pad 58 a - b to a clamp member 56 .
- at least two slots 57 a and 57 b are shaped to accept two correspondingly shaped flanges 55 a and 55 ′.

- FIGS. 11 A-E illustrate a second expression of attaching a clamp pad 58 c to a clamp arm 56 c .
- Clamp pad 58 c comprises one or more protrusions 62 for insertion into one or more corresponding apertures 63 in clamp arm 56 c . If a second or more clamp pad(s) 58 d is also used in accordance with the previous discussion, then clamp pad 58 c further comprises corresponding aperture 61 for accepting one or more clamp pad(s) 58 d .
- Clamp arm 56 c has corresponding aperture(s) 63 for accepting protrusions 62 , as well as a corresponding cavity 64 for accepting the one or more clamp pad 58 d .
- FIG. 11E illustrates the components assembled together prior to staking.
- Clamp pad 58 d fits inside the aperture 61 and cavity 64 , and pad 58 c is aligned with clamp arm 56 c so that protrusions 62 align with chamfered aperture 63 .
- Protrusions 62 have additional height beyond the top surface of clamp arm 56 c to provide additional material to fill the chamfered volume during staking. Heat is applied to protrusions 62 above the clamp arm 56 c ; the protrusions deform and take the shape of the chamfered volume.
- FIGS. 12 A-C illustrate a third expression of attaching a clamp pad 58 d to a clamp arm 56 d .
- clamp pad 58 d further comprises a hook-like protrusion or clip 65 for attaching to a corresponding opening 66 at the distal tip of clamp arm 56 d .
- the distal tip of clamp arm 56 d is open and the clamp pad 58 d is inserted from the distal to proximal direction until the hook clip engages opening 66 .
- Hook clip 65 may be biased closed so when clip 65 engages opening 66 , clip 65 applies compressive forces against opening 66 .
- a first expression for a method for inserting a clamp pad on a clamp arm includes a) inserting a first clamp pad having a first width dimension greater than a second width dimension and having a first-shaped flange into a clamp arm having a slot that accepts the first-shaped flange; and b) engaging a pad stop to secure the clamp pad within the clamp arm.
- the clamp pad consists of a second clamp pad fabricated from a base material and at least one filler material, which is a different material from the base material.
- the second clamp pad may have a second-shaped flange for engaging a second-shaped slot on the clamp arm.
- the tissue surfaces of the clamp pads may be smooth or have tissue gripping features, such as a saw-tooth configuration.
- a first expression for a method for replacing clamp pads would include the steps of: a) disengaging a pad stop; b) removing a first clamp pad from the clamp arm; c) removing a second clamp pad from the clamp arm, wherein at least one of the first or second clamp pads has a first width dimension greater than a second width dimension; d) inserting third and fourth clamp pads into the clamp arm wherein at least one of the third or fourth clamp pads has a first width dimension greater than a second width dimension; and e) engaging a pad stop to secure the third and fourth clamp pads within the clamp arm.
- one of the third and fourth clamp pads may be fabricated from a polymeric material such as TEFLON, and the other clamp pad may be fabricated from a base material and at least one filler material, which is a different material from the base material.
- the tissue surfaces of the clamp pads may be smooth or have tissue gripping features, such as a saw-tooth configuration.
- a clamp arm 60 is configured for use with the present ultrasonic surgical instrument 100 and for cooperative action with blade 79 and clamp member 56 .
- the clamp arm 60 is rotatably mounted to the distal end of outer shroud 72 , detailed below, and connectably attaches at the distal end of thumb ring or actuation member 34 .
- Clamp pad 58 mounts on the clamp member 56 for cooperation with blade 79 , with rotational movement of the clamp arm 60 positioning the clamp pad in substantially parallel relationship to, and in contact with, blade 79 , thereby defining a tissue treatment region.
- tissue is grasped between clamp pad 58 and blade 79 .
- Pivotal movement of the clamp member 56 with respect to blade 79 is affected by the provision of a pair of camming members on the clamp arm 60 that interface with the outer shroud 72 .
- the outer shroud 72 is grounded to handle 68 .
- a first expression of clamp arm 60 comprises jaw-carrying member 60 a and mating member 60 b .
- Jaw-carrying member 60 a includes two camming members 94 a and 94 b for mating with two corresponding camming slots 95 a and 95 b located outer shroud 72 .
- Mating member 60 b includes two camming members 96 a and 96 b for mating with two corresponding camming slots 97 a and 97 b located outer shroud 72 .
- Corresponding camming members 94 a / 94 b and 96 a / 96 b may align along common axes perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of waveguide 80 or camming members may be offset to facilitate the assembly process.
- Members 60 a and 60 b fixedly attach to each other as shown in FIG. 13 to form clamp arm 60 via press fit or snap fit. Other attaching methods are available as is known to those skilled in the art, such as welding, glue, screwing, etc.
- clamp arm 60 defines an opening 93 for receiving outer shroud 72 and the interlocking of the respective cam members and cam slots.
- members 60 a and 60 b may be assembly around outer shroud 72 and all three elements mated together in one operation.
- One benefit of the cam open and closure mechanism is that it can provide both a rotational motion and linear motion of the clamp arm 60 and clamp member 56 thereby providing better control of the pressure profile between clamp pad 58 and blade 79 .
- the camming members may be replaced with spherical elements that interface with cam slots.
- camming members may be replaced with spherical depressions for receiving ball bearings that interface with the cam slots.
- Other camming mechanism would be useful as is well known to the skilled artisian.

- the spring constant of an elastomer or spring ranges from 10-500 lb./in.
- Outer shroud 72 , distal shroud 76 and clamp arm 60 may be constructed from any number of biocompatible materials, such as titanium, stainless steel or plastics. Preferably, however, these elements are constructed of either 7075 or 6061 T6 aluminum.
- the aluminum provides a large benefit in terms of heat dissipation. Devices of the prior art have sheaths and clamp arms made of stainless steel. Typical values for thermal conductivity for aluminum are around 250 W/m K. The values for stainless steel are around 16 W/m K. Thus, aluminum has approximately 15 times greater capability to transmit heat through the same amount of volume.
- the present invention operates approximately 150° F. lower in temperature than instruments of the prior art.
- the aluminum components more effectively draw the heat away from the pad and the blade, thus keeping the end effector cooler than other prior art instruments.

- a certain energy level such as a minimum (“min”) power setting
- the pushbutton axial actuation reduces stress on the surgeon's fingers and allows the fingers to actuate force in a more ergonomic position preventing stresses at the hands and wrists.
- the switch movement also allows comfortable button activation in less than optimal hand positions, which surgeons often encounter throughout a typical procedure.
- each access ring 35 and 36 At the proximal end of each access ring 35 and 36 are protrusions 37 and 38 , respectively, that allow the surgeon to rest his or her pinky finger for added control and comfort. This also allows the surgeon to use the pinky when clamping on tissue, thereby reducing the force on the other fingers.
- Each access ring 35 and 36 includes a soft-touch surface on the interior and exterior surfaces whether by inserting fingers into the access rings or palming the access rings. This feature allows a greater number of hand sizes to comfortably use the device.
- access rings 35 and 36 define a length L.
- the center of gravity of the surgical instrument 100 in combination with the transducer 50 is positioned within length L, more preferably within length L 1 , and most preferably within length L 2 .
