More Information
Summary:Provided is a robotic system that includes a surgical instrument with a wrist including an elongate shaft extending between a proximal end and a distal end, a wrist extending from the distal end of the elongate shaft, and an end effector extending from the wrist. The end effector may include a first jaw and a second jaw, the first and second jaw being moveable between an open position in which ends of the jaws are separated from each other, and a closed position in which the ends of the jaws are closer to each other as compared to the open position. The surgical instrument may also include a tube extending through the elongate shaft and the wrist, the tube having an outlet in fluid communication with a passage formed by an interior of the first and second jaws when the jaws are in the closed position.
