A surgeon support system comprising a base having a foot platform with an appropriate angle adapted to support a user's feet. The base surface may be lifted using a jack pedal and the height is adjusted by a base handle. A knee pad is supported by a knee support bar which is attached to the base. The knee pad is pivotally connected to a seat pad and a chest pad support bar. The seat pad is supported by a seat pad height-adjusting strut and the height is adjustable by a seat pad height-adjusting handle. The chest pad support bar supports a chest pad for forward and backward movement of the user. The angle position of the chest pad is adjusted and released by an angle-adjusting knob on a chest pad angle-adjusting bar. The surgeon support system stabilizes a user close to a workspace for extended periods of time.

A user console for a surgical robotic system has a seat having an armrest and an electromagnetic (EM) transmitter coupled to the armrest to generate an EM field in an EM tracking space around the armrest. A user input device having a handheld housing is to be positioned within the EM tracking by an operator who is seated in the seat, during a surgical procedure. Other aspects are also described and claimed.

Surgical support instruments are described herein that can couple to, e.g., an implanted anchor and provide a platform for coupling other surgical implements thereto. In one embodiment, an instrument can include an elongate body having opposed projections extending laterally from a distal portion thereof that can at least partially surround a shank of an implantable anchor such that a longitudinal axis of the elongate body is laterally offset from a longitudinal axis of the anchor. The instrument can further include a lock configured to exert a drag force on a head of the anchor to control polyaxial movement of the instrument relative to the anchor. Further, a proximal portion of the elongate body can be configured to receive a retractor assembly including a plurality of tissue manipulating implements and selectively lock the retractor assembly at any of a plurality of positions along a length of the elongate body.

The present invention relates to a surgical head holding device (1000) for use in a medical treatment. The head holding device (1000) encompasses hereby a head clamp (100). The head clamp comprises a first arm (101) and a second arm (103), wherein the first arm (101) as well as the second arm (103) comprise each a pin (101s, 103s), in order to receive or to clamp the head therein. Furthermore, the head holding device (1000) comprises a first bar (401) and a first connection arrangement (301) for connecting the first bar (401) to the head clamp (100).

Embodiments of the present application provide a dental robot and an oral navigation method. The dental robot comprises a tandem positioning arm, wherein the tandem positioning arm comprises a pedestal, several positioning arms and a jacket, and the jacket is configured to clamp surgical instruments; the pedestal, the several positioning arms and the jacket are connected in series in sequence by rotary joints; a joint angle measuring device is mounted at each of the rotary joints. According to the dental robot and the oral navigation method provided by the present application, by the lightweight of the tandem positioning arm, the volume and weight of the dental robot system are reduced, which improves the practicality of the dental robot in surgical operations.
