Systems and methods for grasp adjustment based on grasp properties include a computer-assisted device. The device includes a two-jawed end effector located at a distal end of the device, a drive unit for operating the two-jawed end effector, and an image processing unit. The image processing unit is configured to receive imaging data of the end effector and recognize the end effector and a material grasped by the end effector in the received imaging data. The device is configured to adjust a force magnitude limit or a torque magnitude limit of the drive unit based on the received imaging data. In some embodiments, the image processing unit is further configured to determine one or more of a position, an orientation, a size, or a shape of the material based on the received imaging data. In some embodiments, at least one jaw of the end effector includes fiducial indicia.

An ophthalmic surgical instrument for cataract removal surgery includes a helical coil structure including a wire or elongated structure coiled in a plurality essentially similar diameter coils of 360-degree turns in a corkscrew having a coil diameter sufficiently small to fit within an incision of a human ocular lens capsule for entering the human ocular lens capsule during a cataract removal surgery. A pointed sharp end pierces and grasps a human ocular lens under the control of a surgeon upon being inserted in a human ocular lens capsule within said ocular lens capsule during a cataract removal surgery. The corkscrew structure firmly holds the human ocular lens and controls the position and movement of the human ocular lens during said cataract removal surgery.

A graft preparation system includes a fixation implant including a strand of suture wrapped around a graft preparation card. A tenaculum includes a first arm having a first tooth and a second arm having a second tooth that are pivotally connected at a pivot. The first arm includes a slot between the first tooth and the pivot that receives the graft preparation card. A tape suture assembly includes a tape suture and a first suture strand. The tape suture is positioned on a graft, and the tape suture is attached to the graft with a stitch formed with the first suture strand.

Forceps that include a hand piece, a jaw assembly connected to the hand piece, and a web. The jaw assembly is moveable between an open position and a closed position. The web is adapted to block an anatomical feature from extending beyond a proximal end of a gripping section of the jaw assembly. The web remains generally stationary relative to the handpiece when the jaw assembly is moved between an open position and a closed position.

A biopsy forceps device includes a tension member and an end effector including first and second jaws movable between an open configuration, in which the jaws are separated from one another to receive target tissue therebetween, and a closed configuration, in which cutting edges of the jaws are moved toward one another to cut a portion of the target tissue. The jaws define a tissue receiving space therebetween to house the cut tissue. The jaws are pivotable relative to one another, each of the jaws including a serrated cutting edge extending therealong, the end effector further including a tension member attachment including a proximal end coupled to the tension member. The attachment is movably coupled to the jaws so that distal movement of the attachment moves the jaws to the open configuration while proximal movement thereof moves the jaws to the closed configuration.

The present disclosure relates generally to the field of medical devices and establishing access to the renal capsule. In particular, the present disclosure relates to devices and methods for performing a percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) procedure accurately and efficiently while minimizing exposure of the medical professional to harmful radiation.

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 treatment tool includes a first grasper and a second grasper. The first grasper includes a treatment portion that includes a treatment surface and an opposing surface, and a holder portion that is mounted on the opposing surface. The holder portion is formed of an elastically deformable material, and includes a first region having a first contact surface, a second region having a second contact surface, and a connection region that is arranged between the first contact surface and the second contact surface and that includes a concave portion. The holder portion is mounted on the opposing surface in an elastically deformed state such that the first contact surface and the second contact surface are in contact with the opposing surface and such that a depth of the concave portion is smaller than a depth of the concave portion is a non-elastically deformed state.

The present disclosure is directed a method and device for unlatching a clip. The clip may have first and second leg members, the first leg member having a hook member and the second leg member having a tip member restrained by the hook member in the latched configuration. The method may include receiving the clip between first and second jaw members of a device and engaging the hook member of the first leg member with a wall of the second jaw member. The method may further include pressing on an outer surface of the first leg member with the first jaw member to open the hook member and release the clip from the latched configuration and receiving the tip member in a channel of the second jaw member after being unrestrained by the hook member where the tip member is spaced apart from the hook member.
