US Patent 10888370 Methods, systems, and devices for controlling electrosurgical tools

Various exemplary methods, systems, and devices for controlling electrosurgical tools are provided. In exemplary embodiments of methods, systems, and devices provided herein, a control system can be configured to monitor an electrical parameter during end effector closure, e.g., as jaws of an end effector of an electrosurgical tool move from an open position to a closed position. In response to the electrical parameter dropping to a predetermined minimum parameter threshold, the control system can be configured to cause the end effector to open.
