STERILE DRAPE, INSTRUMENT ATTACHMENT SET FOR ATTACHING SURGICAL INSTRUMENT, AND METHOD FOR ATTACHING SURGICAL INSTRUMENT TO ROBOT ARM
A sterile drape according to an embodiment may include: a flexible film member including a first opening and a second opening and configured to cover the robot arm received through the second opening; and a resin molded member configured to close the first opening of the flexible film member. The resin molded member includes: an upper surface portion having a shape and a size fitted to an attachment surface of an attachment portion of the robot arm; a side surface portion extending downward from the upper surface portion; and a projection which projects outward from a lower edge of the side surface portion and to which the flexible film member is welded.
ROBOTIC MEDICAL SYSTEMS INCLUDING USER INTERFACES WITH GRAPHICAL REPRESENTATIONS OF USER INPUT DEVICES
User interfaces for robotic medical systems that display graphical representations of user input devices are disclosed. The robotic medical system can include a user input device that has one or more user inputs configured to allow a user to operate the robotic medical system and a user display configured to display information about the robotic medical system to the user. The system can provide a graphical representation of the user input device on the user display, determine a state of the robotic medical system, and based on the determined state, provide an updated graphical representation of the user input device. The updated graphical representation can provide an indication to the user of how to interact with the user input device.
3D navigation system and methods
A 3D navigation system and methods for enhancing feedback during a medical procedure, involving: an optical imaging system having an optical assembly comprising movable zoom optics and movable focus optics, a zoom actuator for positioning the zoom optics, a focus actuator for positioning the focus optics, a controller for controlling the zoom actuator and the focus actuator in response to received control input, at least one detector for capturing an image of at least one of a target and an obstacle, the at least one detector operable with the optical assembly, and a proprioception feature operable with the optical imaging system for generating a 3D perception, the proprioception feature comprising a communication feature for providing 3D information, the 3D information comprising real-time depth information in relation to real-time planar information within an interrogation volume.
UNIVERSAL SURGICAL FOOTSWITCH TOGGLING
An electrosurgical system includes an electrosurgical generator having a radio frequency source configured to operate in a plurality of modes and a controller configured to control the radio frequency source to output a radio frequency waveform corresponding to a mode from the plurality of modes. The system also includes a footswitch assembly coupled to the electrosurgical generator. The footswitch assembly includes a footswitch in communication with the controller. The footswitch is configured to output a footswitch activation signal to activate the radio frequency source. The footswitch assembly also includes a mode select button, which upon activation, is configured to instruct the controller to enter a mapping state during which the controller assigns an activation command for one mode from the plurality of modes to the footswitch.
LAPAROSCOPIC SURGERY SUPPORT SYSTEM
A laparoscopic surgery support system can include a plurality of ports configured to receive a trocar therethrough and a plurality of arms connecting the plurality of ports together and configured to allow fixation of a relative position of the plurality of ports. For example, the plurality of ports can include three or more ports.
SYSTEM AND APPARATUS FOR ENHANCING THE ERGONOMICS OF A SURGICAL FOOT PEDAL
The present invention comprises a heel insert for use with a phacoemulsification foot pedal that may shift a surgeon's foot forward on the treadle of a foot pedal to reduce the force required to actuate the foot pedal. The present invention may be easily attachable and removable and may provide a less complicated and alternative foot position for surgeons preferring different treadle mechanics.
NAVIGATED SURGICAL SYSTEM WITH EYE TO XR HEADSET DISPLAY CALIBRATION
A camera tracking system for computer assisted navigation during surgery operatively determines a first pose of a second extended-reality (XR) headset relative to stereo tracking cameras located on a first XR headset based on first tracking information from the stereo tracking cameras. The camera tracking system determines a second pose of eyes of a user wearing the second XR headset relative to the stereo tracking cameras located on the first XR headset based on second tracking information from the stereo tracking cameras. The camera tracking system also calibrates an eye-to-display relationship defining pose of the eyes of the user wearing the second XR headset to a display device of the second XR headset based on the determined first and second poses. The camera tracking system also controls where symbols are displayed on the display device of the second XR headset based on the eye-to-display relationship.
Systems and Methods for Remotely Controlling a Surgical Instrument of Console-Based Surgical Systems
A surgical system and a method of operating a surgical system are disclosed herein. The surgical system comprises a surgical console, a control device, and a dongle. The surgical console operates a surgical device and comprises a connection port. The control device communicates with the surgical console to remotely control the surgical device. The dongle physically couples to the connection port of the surgical console. The control device comprises a first communication device and a radio frequency (RF) reader, and the dongle comprises a second communication device and a passive RF device. The RF reader receives the pairing information from the passive RF device in response to the passive RF device being with a threshold proximity of the RF reader. The first and second communication devices wirelessly connect based on the pairing information, enabling the control device to wirelessly communicate with the surgical console to remotely control the surgical device.
UI FOR HEAD MOUNTED DISPLAY SYSTEM
A UI for a HMD system includes a HMD configured to be worn by a surgeon. A tracker is configured to track head gestures by the surgeon. A footswitch is configured to detect foot motion inputs by the surgeon. A computer couples to the HMD, the tracker, and the footswitch. A user interface includes the HMD, tracker, and footswitch. The use interface is configured to: provide to the computer the head gesture in association with the foot motion input, and display an image relating to a surgical procedure on the HMD. The computer is configured to: apply the head gesture received in association with the foot motion input to perform a first action on the HMD system when the HMD system is in a first system mode, and perform a second action on the HMD system when the HMD system is in a second system mode.
