An exemplary system includes a memory storing instructions and a processor communicatively coupled to the memory. The processor may be configured to execute the instructions to: detect an intent of a user of a computer-assisted surgical system to use a robotic instrument attached to the computer-assisted surgical system to interact with a target object while the target object is located in a surgical space; determine a pose of the target object in the surgical space; and perform, based on the detected intent of the user to interact with the target object and the determined pose of the target object in the surgical space, an operation with respect to the target object.

In a robotic surgical system, a control device is configured or programmed to perform first scaling on at least a rotational component in a received operation amount, and calculate a rotation angle of a joint axis of a robot arm by performing an inverse kinematics calculation on a translational component and the rotational component after the first scaling is performed.

A needle guide for use with a handheld probe having a connector protruding from a probe surface. The needle guide can include an upper portion including an upper surface, a lower portion defining a cavity to receive the connector of the handheld probe, and a needle channel. The needle channel can extend from a proximal portion of the upper surface to a distal end of the upper surface. The needle channel can have a fixed size. The needle guide can include a guide surface extending into the upper portion and the lower portion of the needle guide at a proximal end of the needle guide. The guide surface can include a concave shape with a conical surface that funnels into a proximal end of the needle channel.

In a handle unit for interventional procedure, a master device for interventional procedure, and a remote control interventional procedure system, the handle unit is gripped by an operator. The handle unit includes a gripper, a mode selection module and a linear motion module. The gripper is gripped by the operator. The mode selection module is equipped to the gripper, and selects one of motion modes including a linear motion mode, a rotational motion mode and a plane motion mode. The needle linearly moves with one degree of freedom in the linear motion mode. The needle rotationally moves with two degrees of freedom in the rotational motion mode. The needle moves in a plane with two degrees of freedom in the plane motion mode. The linear motion module performs the linear motion of the needle based on the selection of the mode selection module, and is equipped to the gripper.

Devices for assisting with the functioning of a tricuspid valve of a heart include a shaft, a flow optimizer, and an anchoring mechanism. A tilting mechanism can be configured to tilt the shaft relative to a central axis of the anchoring mechanism. Leaflets (e.g., multi-layer leaflets) of the flow optimizer can include a membrane and a rim, and the rim can have a higher stiffness than the membrane. A delivery system can be configured to deliver the device and adjust the position of the flow optimizer with respect to the anchoring mechanism.

A gap gauge is disclosed for facilitating an arthroplasty procedure on a first bone and a second bone of a patient. The gap gauge may include a first plate positionable in contact with the first bone, a second plate positionable in contact with the second bone. The second plate may be displaced from the first plate by a displacement. The gap gauge may further include a balance indicator configured to indicate a balance status between the first plate and the second plate and a pin guide. The pin guide is configured to couple to one of the first plate and second plate and includes a pin hole that is configured to guide a pin for insertion into the second bone. The pin can be used to couple a cutting guide to the second bone to resect the second bone to adjust the balance status.

A gap gauge is disclosed for facilitating an arthroplasty procedure on a first bone and a second bone of a patient. The gap gauge may include a first plate positionable in contact with the first bone, a second plate positionable in contact with the second bone. The second plate may be displaced from the first plate by a displacement. The gap gauge may further include a separator connected to the first plate and the second plate, a separation indicator coupled to the separator and configured to indicate the displacement, and a balance indicator connected to at least one of the first plate and the second plate. The balance indicator may indicate a balance status between the first plate and the second plate. The separator can be actuated to adjust the displacement.

A system for harvesting bone material from a bone may include a rotary cutter defining a rotary cutter longitudinal axis extending between a rotary cutter proximal end and a rotary cutter distal end. The rotary cutter may have a drive shaft configured to receive input torque, and an osteochondral cutter configured to cut the tissue and receive the tissue material in response to rotation of the osteochondral cutter under pressure against the tissue. The system may further include a bone port defining a bone port longitudinal axis extending between a bone port proximal end and a bone port distal end. The bone port may have a bone port cannulation sized to closely fit over the osteochondral cutter. At least one of the bone port proximal end and the bone port distal end may be securable to the tissue. A stratiform tissue graft may be delivered through the bone port.

Disclosed is an offset selector for determining an offset between an anchoring section and a joint section of a joint implant component. The offset selector comprising a reference portion for determining an offset, a first adjustment device for implementing the offset, and a second adjustment device for adjusting the orientation of the offset to the reference portion. The first and the second adjustment devices are coupled to each another. One of the first adjustment device and a second adjustment device are connected to the reference portion and the other one of the first adjustment device and the second adjustment device is connected to an adjustment portion. The adjustment portion being movable relative to the reference portion.

A guide for guiding drill bits to form holes in a bone in a predetermined pattern for receiving fasteners to secure an implant to the bone is provided. The guide includes a guide body having a bone interface side opposite an operative side, the bone interface side having a bone contacting surface engageable with a surface of the bone. The guide also includes a plurality of drill guides extending from the operative side of the guide body for guiding corresponding drill bits, wherein the bone contacting surface of the guide body is configured to substantially conform to surface contours of the bone at a predetermined position on the bone. A method of designing the guide is also provided.
