Abstract:
A robotically-enabled medical system can include a multifunction end effector. The multifunction end effector can be configured to perform at least two functions. The two functions can be rotationally offset with respect to one another. The rotational offset can allow the robotically-enabled system to operate the multifunction end effector in a plurality of modes. At least some of the modes can preclude access to one or more functions of the end effector.

Claim (Index 17):
A medical system comprising:\n a robotically controlled end effector for a robotic surgical instrument, the end effector comprising:\n a first body including a first engagement surface having a first portion rotationally offset from a second portion, \n a second body including a second engagement surface having a first portion rotationally offset from a second portion, and \n a pivot axis substantially shared by the first body and the second body, the first body and the second body configured for the rotational movement about the pivot axis; \n at least one non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon executable instructions; and at least one processor in communication with the at least one non-transitory computer readable medium and configured to execute the instructions to cause the system to at least:\n operate the end effector in a first mode of operation to permit cooperation between the first portion of the first engagement surface and the first portion of the second engagement surface and preclude cooperation between the second portion of the first engagement surface and the second portion of the second engagement surface, \n transition the end effector from the first mode of operation to a second mode of operation to permit cooperation between at least the second portion of the first engagement surface and the second portion of the second engagement surface, and \n operate the end effector in the second mode of operation.
