PATIENT-SPECIFIC GUIDES FOR LATARJET PROCEDURE
20230063081 · 2023-03-02 ·

Patient-specific guides for the Latarjet procedure, as well as surgical systems and methods of performing the Latarjet procedure to treat glenohumeral instability using such patient-specific guides are disclosed. A patient-specific coracoid guide and a patient-specific glenoid guide may be configured based on preoperatively generated three-dimensional models of the patient's shoulder anatomy. Guides may be configured for coracoid graft preparation and glenoid decortication. The coracoid graft may be placed in the desired position based on three-dimensional (3D) preoperative planning.

A method for adjusting the operation of a surgical instrument using machine learning in a surgical suite is disclosed.

Identity verifying device and methods

A method for identity (ID) verification, including: acquiring one or more ID indications of at least one item using a hand held verifying device; automatically verifying by the verifying device a desired relation between the one or more acquired ID indications and stored verification data associated with the verifying device; physically marking the item using the verifying device with a verifying marking if the desired relation is automatically verified.

Surgical tool systems and methods

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a surgical robot system may include an end-effector element configured for controlled movement and positioning and tracking of surgical instruments and objects relative to an image of a patient's anatomical structure. In some embodiments the end-effector and instruments may be tracked by surgical robot system and displayed to a user. In some embodiments, tracking of a target anatomical structure and objects, both in a navigation space and an image space, may be provided by a dynamic reference base located at a position away from the target anatomical structure.

IMAGE-BASED PAIRING AND CONTROLLING OF DEVICES IN A CLINICAL ENVIRONMENT

An example method includes capturing images using a camera and detecting a medical device in a first image among the images. A request is transmitted to the medical device. Based on transmitting the request, the example method includes determining that the medical device has output a chirp signal in a second image among the images. Based on the chirp signal, the method includes causing the medical device to perform an action by transmitting a control message to the medical device.

Identification bracelet
11628040 · 2023-04-18 ·

An identification bracelet includes a wristband securable to a wearer. The wristband includes a plurality of openings for receiving a locking rivet and one or more openings for receiving one or more color-coded pins, a housing attached to the wristband, the housing having a pair of lugs with a slit, each lug extending from each side of the housing and adapted to receive the corresponding ends of the wristband inserted into the corresponding slits. The housing comprises a snap-on cover with at least a portion of the cover being transparent, a base, and a waterproof gasket insertable into the base. The snap-on cover is configured to be snapped on the base thereby creating a hermetically sealed waterproof structure. The housing also includes an information tag insertable into the housing and visible through the transparent portion of the housing.

Optical markers for calibration/alignment of medical diagnostic devices

Optical sensors and optical markers are placed on components in a medical system to provide calibration and alignment, such as on a patient transportation mechanism and spatially separated medical diagnostic devices. Image processing circuitry uses the data captured by these optical devices to coordinate their movements and/or position. This enables scans that were captured in multiple medical diagnostic devices to be accurately aligned.
