Covidien LP has been issued a patent for a surgical stapling instrument with a sensing tip that provides feedback to clinicians during surgery to avoid tearing blood vessels. The instrument includes a stapling end effector with a flexible sensing tip that measures mechanical properties such as force, pressure, or torque. It can provide audible, visual, or haptic alerts to indicate when the mechanical properties exceed a predetermined amount. The instrument can be used in both minimally invasive and robotic surgery. This patent aims to improve patient safety and reduce complications during surgical procedures. [Extracted from the article]
