An apparatus includes a shaft assembly, an end effector, and a drive member visualization assembly. The end effector includes a first jaw, a second jaw, a staple cartridge, and a drive member capable of actuating along a firing stroke to fire a plurality of staples out of the staple cartridge or to sever tissue. The drive member visualization assembly provides an electronic indication linked to a physical location of the drive member within the upper jaw and the lower jaw during the firing stroke.

A sterile packaging assembly for transporting interventional devices to a robotic surgery site includes a sterile barrier having a hub support portion and configured to enclose a sterile volume; and at least a first interventional device within the sterile volume. The first interventional device includes a hub and an elongate flexible body. The hub includes at least one magnet and at least one roller configured to roll on the hub support portion of the sterile barrier.

A surgical instrument includes a body, a shaft assembly, an end effector, a stapling assembly, and a restriction feature. The shaft assembly extends distally from the body. The end effector being on a distal end of the shaft assembly and incudes a first second jaw. The stapling assembly is supported by one of the first jaw or the second jaw. The stapling assembly includes a wedge sled. The wedge sled is configured to move relative to the one of the first jaw or the second jaw to drive movement of one or more staples. The restriction feature is configured to releasably hold the wedge sled in a predetermined position within the stapling assembly while the stapling assembly is in a pre-fired configuration. At least a portion of the restriction feature is configured to respond to movement of the edge sled to release the restriction feature from the wedge sled.

A robotic system includes an instrument including an elongate shaft, a robotic manipulator configured to manipulate the elongate shaft of the instrument, and control circuitry communicatively coupled to the robotic manipulator and configured to determine a first estimated position of at least a portion of the elongate shaft of the instrument based at least in part on robotic command data, determine a second estimated position of the at least a portion of the elongate shaft of the instrument based at least in part on position sensor data, compare the first estimated position and the second estimated position, and generate a third estimated position based at least in part on the comparison of the first estimated position to the second estimated position.

An actuation system for actuating concentric tubes of a concentric-tube robot. The actuation system is configured to actuate the concentric tubes from radially to one side of the concentric tubes.

The present invention relates to an assistive apparatus for a single port surgical robot, including a single port housing which forms a chamber communicating with a wound retractor and is coupled to the wound retractor with airtightness maintained, and a plurality of guide tubes which are provided in the single port housing to communicate with the chamber and form passages through which a surgical tool mounted on an arm of the single port surgical robot and assistive surgical tools for assisting with single port surgery are selectively inserted, wherein the plurality of guide tubes have different heights and are provided to protrude from the single port housing.

A catheter system is disclosed. A catheter system comprises a catheter module and a magnetic robot, which can be coupled to the catheter module, wherein: the catheter module comprises a catheter having an accommodation space formed on the front end thereof, and a rotational magnet that is rotatable; and the magnetic robot comprises a body and a magnet member, which is coupled to the body and induces magnetism with the rotational magnet.

An atherectomy system includes a drive assembly and an advancer assembly. The drive assembly, which may be reusable, includes a drive motor having an output shaft and a first coupler segment that is secured relative to the output shaft. A controller may be adapted to regulate operation of the drive motor. The advancer assembly, which may be single use, includes a flexible drive cable that is adapted to be releasably securable to the first coupler segment. The advancer assembly includes gearing that is secured within the advancer assembly and is operably coupled with the flexible drive cable. A burr catheter is coupled with and extends distally of the gearing. The advancer assembly is adapted to enable relative translation of the burr catheter in order to advance and withdraw an atherectomy burr rotatably secured to a distal end of the burr catheter.

A surgical instrument includes a body, a shaft assembly, an end effector, a stapling assembly, and a drive system. The shaft assembly extends distally from the body. The end effector is disposed on a distal end of the shaft assembly and includes a first jaw and a second jaw. The stapling assembly is supported by one of the first jaw or the second jaw of the end effector. The drive system includes a shift mechanism configured to selectively modify a mechanical advantage of a drive input driven by a motor and used to power one or more functions associated with operation of the end effector.

A robotically driven interventional device includes an elongate, flexible body, having a proximal end and a distal end; a hub on the proximal end; at least one rotatable roller on a first surface of the hub; and at least one magnet on the first surface of the hub.
