摘要:
A surgical instrument includes a body, an elongate shaft extending distally from the body, an end effector disposed at a distal end of the elongate shaft, and a firing beam. The end effector has a first jaw and a second jaw. The first jaw is pivotable toward and away from the second jaw to capture tissue. The end effector further comprises at least one electrode. The at least one electrode is operable to apply RF energy to tissue captured between the first jaw and the second jaw. At least a portion of the end effector is reconfigurable to transition the end effector into a cleaning state
