A powered handheld electromechanical surgical device includes a motor configured to drive extension and retraction of a drive component, a sensor configured to sense force exerted on the drive component during extension of the drive component, and a controller including a processor and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to receive the sensed force from the sensor, control a speed of the motor during extension of the drive component in accordance with the sensed force, determine a speed profile or a force profile during extension of the drive component, and control a speed of the motor during retraction of the drive component in accordance with the speed profile or the force profile.

A device for securing an ablation tool may have a backbone and a securing portion including a body and a cover, the body slides along the backbone to a lower position and then the cover affixedly receives a head member of the ablation tool. In another version, a leg portion is removably attachable to the securing portion and an upper portion projects out of the opening in the body portion from above and removably attaches to the leg portion that fits into the opening from below. In another version, a rotatable securing portion has a first portion pivotably connected to the leg portion, a second portion affixedly receive the head member when the securing portion rotates closed and a third portion affixedly attaches to the leg portion when the securing portion rotates closed. If the head member does not fit with the cover, a one-piece or two-piece adaptor is used.

Co-manipulation robotic systems are described herein that may be used for assisting with laparoscopic surgical procedures. The co-manipulation robotic systems allow a surgeon to use commercially-available surgical tools while providing benefits associated with surgical robotics. Advantageously, the surgical tools may be seamlessly coupled to the robot arms using a disposable coupler while the reusable portions of the robot arm remain in a sterile drape. Further, the co-manipulation robotic system may operate in multiple modes to enhance usability and safety, while allowing the surgeon to position the instrument directly with the instrument handle and further maintain the desired position of the instrument using the robot arm.

A surgical endoscope for manipulation by a surgical robot arm. The surgical endoscope comprises a shaft having a distal end for insertion into a patient and a proximal end. An endoscope interface is attached to the proximal end of the shaft. The endoscope interface is configured to engage a robot arm interface of the surgical robot arm. The endoscope interface comprises an endoscope wedge mechanism moveable between an unlocked position and a locked position. The endoscope wedge mechanism comprises endoscope wedge elements which are displaceable such that collective displacement of the endoscope wedge elements actuates the endoscope wedge mechanism between the unlocked position and the locked position.

Disclosed herein is a system for navigated punction, biopsy or ablation comprising a mobile electromagnetic field generator for generating an electromagnetic navigation field which is connected to an apparatus for medical imaging, a needle-like instrument (16), comprising a sterile distal portion (22) and an optionally non-sterile proximal portion (20), a removable protection device (30) for encapsulating the sterile distal portion (22), a sensor (38) suitable for carrying out measurements allowing for determining the position of the sensor (38) within the navigation field, and a sensor carrier (26). The sensor carrier (26) comprises an elongate carrier body (36) having proximal and distal ends. The sensor (38) is attached to or enclosed by said carrier body (36) close to its distal end. A connection mechanism (32) is provided allowing to releasably connect said sensor carrier (36) with the non-sterile proximal portion (22) such that said elongate carrier body (36) extends from said connection position in distal direction.

In general, orthopedic instrument adapters and methods of using orthopedic instrument adapters are provided. In an exemplary embodiment, an adapter is configured to releasably attach to an end effector configured to impact bone. The end effector can be a broach, chisel, or other surgical implement. The adapter includes a spring-loaded hook that is configured to releasably seat in a cut-out formed in the end effector. The adapter is also configured to releasably attach to a surgical impacting tool, such as an orthopedic impactor, configured to drive impacting of the end effector relative to bone.

The present invention relates to a bone anchoring device including a plate configured to be attached to a fractured bone and having a plurality of fastening holes to support the fractured bone, in which at least one of the fastening holes is formed in a rectangular shape having an opening portion elongated in a longitudinal direction, a clip configured to be inserted into the rectangular fastening hole and capable of slipping in the longitudinal direction in the rectangular fastening hole, and an anchoring screw configured to be fastened into the clip and fastened into the bone. According to the present invention, it is possible to adjust a position and insertion angle of the bone anchoring screw and improve compatibility between bone anchoring components.

Systems, devices and methods for managing surgical instruments throughout their lifecycle include disabling a usage based device lockout and providing notifications for devices nearing a usage based lockout. A device adaptor connected inline between a surgical instrument and a power source can be configured to alter a device EEPROM to allow for additional device usage despite a usage based lockout. Notifications and user prompts may be displayed requiring a user to acknowledge that a usage based device lockout has occurred in order to avoid an attempt to use an expired device in a future procedure.

Generally, a system for use in a robotic surgical system may be used to determine an attachment state between a tool driver, sterile adapter, and surgical tool of the system. The system may include sensors used to generate attachment data corresponding to the attachment state. The attachment state may be used to control operation of the tool driver and surgical tool. In some variations, one or more of the attachment states may be visually output to an operator using one or more of the tool driver, sterile adapter, and surgical tool. In some variations, the tool driver and surgical tool may include electronic communication devices configured to be in close proximity when the surgical tool is attached to the sterile adapter and tool driver.

Disclosed herein are rasp adapters, rasp systems, and method of use thereof. The rasp adapter can include a body and a retention element. The body can define a body cavity, a handle opening, and a trunnion bore. The retention element can be located within the body cavity and can include a knuckle and a heal. The knuckle can be located proximate to and movable into and out of the trunnion bore. The heal can be located proximate the handle opening. Movement of the retention element due to a force applied to the heal can cause movement of the retention element and movement of the knuckle into the trunnion bore.
