SURGICAL TOOL CABINET

Les consoles à outils chirurgicales connues (12) avec plusieurs outils (14, 16), comportent pour chaque outil un commutateur au pied disposé sous la table opératoire. Par conséquent, le chirurgien ne peut plus voir les commutateurs au pied lorsqu'il se penche au dessus de la table opératoire, et il est fort possible qu'il les confonde. L'invention vise à réduire le risque que le chirurgien actionne un outil différent de celui qu'il est en train d'utiliser. A cet effet, on met en oeuvre un dispositif de commutation comportant au moins un commutateur de sélection (24, 44) destiné à choisir un outil (16), et un commutateur principal (26) destiné à actionner ou arrêter l'outil sélectionné. Ainsi, un outil ne peut être actionné avec le commutateur principal que si le commutateur de sélection a été actionné et si l'outil en question a été choisi. Etant donné qu'il n'y a plus qu'un seul commutateur principal, le risque pour le personnel assistant, du à une confusion des différents commutateurs ...

Sterile handle for controlling a robotic surgical system from a sterile field

Described herein are a sterile handle for use with a robotic surgical system, for example, during spinal surgery. In certain embodiments, the sterile handle adds functionalities and an interface to existing surgical tools such that the robotic system may be commanded from the sterile field during surgery. The sterile handle permits a user, such as a surgeon, to physically manipulate the location of the end-effector of a robotic surgical system. The sterile handle may include an input device that allows the user to limit the movement of the end-effector, such as limiting the movement to translations or rotations only. The sterile handle may detect the presence of a user's hand. This ensures the end-effector is only moved when the user manipulates the sterile handle and reduces the likelihood that the end-effector is moved unintentionally.

Sterile handle for controlling a robotic surgical system from a sterile field

An actuator screw is rotatably connected to the frame. A carriage forms an open area aligned with the openings in the endplates. The openings in the endplates pass through the carriage to form an unimpeded passage from bone to bone of the joint. The carriage has ramps which mate with the ramped surfaces of the endplates, wherein when the carriage is moved by rotation of the actuator screw, the endplates move closer or farther apart.
