MASTER/SLAVE REGISTRATION AND CONTROL FOR TELEOPERATION

A teleoperated system comprises a display, a master input device, and a control system. The control system is configured to determine an orientation of an end effector reference frame relative to a field of view reference frame, determine an orientation of a master input device reference frame relative to a display reference frame, establish an alignment relationship between the master input device reference frame and the display reference frame, and command, based on the alignment relationship, a change in a pose of the end effector in response to a change in a pose of the master input device. The alignment relationship is independent of a position relationship between the master input device reference frame and the display reference frame. In one aspect, the teleoperated system is a telemedical system such as a telesurgical system.

Devices and methods for treating conditions caused by afferent nerve signals

A method for treating OAB in a female patient includes positioning a visualization scope in the patent's vagina; advancing a guide wire through a working channel of a visualization scope, until a tissue penetrating distal tip of the guide wire advances out of the working channel and penetrates a wall of the superior portion of the vagina; continuing to advance the guidewire tip submucosally through the wall of the vagina, until it is positioned within tissue of the bladder trigone; advancing a balloon dilation catheter over the guidewire until a balloon carried on a distal end portion of the balloon dilation catheter is positioned proximate the distal tip of the guidewire within the bladder trigone tissue; and inflating said balloon to form a first dissection plane between separated layers of tissue within the bladder trigone.

Electrosurgical forceps

An electrosurgical forceps includes first and second shaft members and first and second jaw members extending distally from the respective first and second shaft members. A pivot couples the first and second shaft members with one another such that the first and second shaft members are movable relative to one another between a spaced-apart position and an approximated position to move the first and second jaw members relative to one another between an open position and a closed position. The jaw members are configured to facilitate tissue treatment, tissue division, and blunt tissue dissection.

Integrated tumor resection instrument and simulation training system
11596433 · 2023-03-07 ·

The invention discloses an integrated tumor resection instrument and a simulation training system. The resection device comprises an imaging system, a minimally invasive incision, a processor, an operating device, a resection executing mechanism and a positioning control device. The operating device is connected to the input end of the processor, the resection actuating mechanism is provided with a resecting driver, and the positioning control device and the resecting driver are both connected to the output end of the processor; the simulation training system comprises the steps of designing a manikin; arranging the imaging system; integrated resection. The resection device can resect the whole tumor along the edge of the tumor, thereby avoiding the incomplete resection and even tumor recurrent caused by crushing in the process of resecting the tumor. The simulation training system can train an operator to quickly master the resection skill and operation of various positions.

Surgical Clamping Instrument

A clamping system having a clamp head, forceps, and a mechanical actuator. The clamp head has a first clamp or arm, a second clamp arm, a tubular neck, and a drive shaft that extends through the tubular neck. The first clamp arm is moved relative to the second clamp arm by selectively rotating the drive shaft. The forceps have a jaw section. The jaw section has a ring clamp that is sized to receive and retain the tubular neck on the clamp head. A mechanical actuator attaches to the forceps. The mechanical actuator has an elongated shaft that aligns with the drive shaft of the clamp head when the ring clamp is closed around the tubular neck of the clamp head. The alignment enables the mechanical actuator to engage the drive shaft and turn the drive shaft when the mechanical actuator is manipulated.
