摘要：
A surgical instrument (10) with a tissue - clamping end effector (12), where actuation of the instrument (10) is locked out when the thickness of the tissue clamped in the end effector (12) is not within a specified thickness range. The end effector (12) may comprise a tissue thickness module (60) that senses the thickness of the tissue clamped in the end effector (12). The surgical instrument (10) also comprises a control circuit (100) in communication with the tissue thickness module (60). The control circuit (100) prevents actuation of a working portion of the end effector (12) when the thickness of the tissue clamped in the end effector (12) is not within the specified thickness range.
