Summary:To provide a surgical instrument.SOLUTION: A surgical instrument comprises a controller configured to: control RF energy output to apply RF energy, or control ultrasonic energy output to apply ultrasonic energy, when displacement or intensity of a button is above a first threshold but below a second threshold higher than the first threshold; and control RF energy output to apply RF energy, and control ultrasonic energy output to apply ultrasonic energy, when displacement or intensity of the button is above the second threshold.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】外科用器具を提供すること。【解決手段】外科用器具は、ボタンの変位又は強度が第１の閾値を上回るが第１の閾値より高い第２の閾値を下回るときに、ＲＦエネルギー出力を制御してＲＦエネルギーを印加するか、又は超音波エネルギー出力を制御して超音波エネルギーを印加し、かつボタンの変位又は強度が第２の閾値を上回るときに、ＲＦエネルギー出力を制御してＲＦエネルギーを印加し、超音波エネルギー出力を制御して超音波エネルギーを印加するように構成されたコントローラ、を備える。【選択図】図１
