Zusammenfassung:A surgical instrument for use with a robotic surgical system includes a shaft extending distally from a housing and first and second jaw members disposed at a distal end of the shaft. The surgical instrument also includes a knife blade configured to cut tissue and a drive input configured to receive a rotational input from a robotic surgical system to drive rotation of an input shaft and translate the knife blade. The surgical instrument also includes a knife blade lock configured to move between a locked position to prevent rotation of the drive input, and an unlocked position such that the drive input is permitted to rotate in response to receiving the rotational input to drive rotation of the input shaft. The surgical instrument also includes a spring configured to bias the knife blade lock into the locked position.
