DETECTION OF SURGICAL TABLE MOVEMENT FOR COORDINATING MOTION WITH ROBOTIC MANIPULATORS

An position sensor such as an IMU is removably positioned on a patient bed used to support a patient during a robotic surgical procedure in which a robotic manipulator is used to manipulate a surgical instrument. When the bed is moved during the course of surgery, signals corresponding to a sensed changed in the bed's position are received by a processor, which causes a corresponding repositioning of the robotic manipulator.

20220395415 · 2022-12-15 ·

A surgical positioning system includes a platform assembly and an alignment post coupled to the platform assembly. The platform assembly has first and second members and an elevation assembly. The first member is supported on a surgical operating table. The second member is arranged over the first member and supports thereon a first portion of a patient undergoing surgery. The elevation assembly moves the second member with respect to the first member so as to change an elevation of the first portion of the patient. In some embodiments, a positioning member is coupled to the alignment post. The positioning member is inflatable between a deflated state and an inflated state in order to displace part of the patient thereon vertically and laterally. In some embodiments, the surgical positioning system can be used to position the anatomy of a patient during a hip replacement surgery.

Positionable foot portion of a medical device
11523962 · 2022-12-13 · ·

The object of the invention is a foot portion (2a) of a medical device, such as gynecological examination bed or a birthing bed. The aim of the invention is to provide a method for moving the foot portion into the required position quickly, effectively and not limiting the actions of medical personnel. An advantage of the present invention is moving the foot portion under the rest area (1) without undesirable protrusion. Movement of the foot portion (2a) under the rest area (1) is performed around a column (5), which is attached under the side edge of a seating portion (3). Such arrangement of the column leaves free space under the rest area (1) for moving the foot portion (2a). Movement of the foot portion (2a) is performed with minimum protrusion over the borderline of the rest area (1) by means of a parallelogram. The foot portion according to the present invention may be also positioned horizontally and vertically, according to the patient's need during the procedure. For each movement, there are available separate moving mechanisms and latching mechanisms.
