Surgical stapling loading unit having articulating jaws

An end effector includes first and second jaw members that are pivotable relative to one another between open and clamped configurations about a pivot axis. The first and second jaw members each define a pivot hole which defines the pivot axis. The first and second jaw members also each define an articulation axis that is orthogonal to the pivot axis and position distal of the pivot axis. The first and second jaw members are articulatable about the articulation axis between straight and fully articulated configurations.

Methods and apparatus for intervertebral disc prosthesis insertion

A method for inserting an intervertebral disc prosthesis into a space between two vertebrae involves inserting the prosthesis partway into the space under constraint to prevent endplates of the prosthesis from articulating, releasing the prosthesis from constraint, and inserting the unconstrained prosthesis farther into the space. In some embodiments, the method involves grasping the prosthesis with a grasping device to insert the prosthesis partway under constraint, loosing the grasping device to release the prosthesis from constraint, and pushing the prosthesis farther into the disc space using the grasping device and / or one or more separate pusher devices. A system includes a grasping device, at least one separate pushing device, and optionally a vertebral spreading device and / or a vertebral midline indicator device.

User initiated break-away clutching of a surgical mounting platform

Robotic and / or surgical devices, systems, and methods include kinematic linkage structures and associated control systems configured to facilitate preparation of the system for use. One or more kinematic linkage sub-systems may include joints that are actively driven, passive, or a mix of both. A set-up mode employs an intuitive user interface in which one or more joints are initially held static by a brake or joint drive system. The user may articulate the joint(s) by manually pushing against the linkage with a force, torque, or the like that exceeds a manual articulation threshold. Articulation of the moving joints is facilitated by modifying the signals transmitted to the brake or drive system. The system may sense completion of the reconfiguration from a velocity of the joint(s) falling below a threshold, optionally for a desired dwell time. The system may provide a detent-like manual articulation that is not limited to mechanically pre-defined detent joint configurations. Embodiments of the invention provide, and can be particularly well-suited for manual movement of a platform supporting a plurality of surgical manipulators in a robotic surgical system or the like without having to add additional input devices.

Surgical plate system and method

A surgical plate system, components and methods of using are described. A surgical plate system includes a plate having an anterior surface, a posterior surface, a longitudinal axis, a transverse axis and a through hole passing through the anterior and posterior surfaces. A variable fastener is configured and dimensioned to connect to the plate, the variable fastener having a head and a shaft extending distally from the head. The head is configured to assume different proximal end diameters. The head, in a first configuration allows inward flexing to reduce a diameter of the head to allow the head to pass through an entrance opening of the through hole. In a second configuration, the head is prevented from flexing inwardly thereby preventing the head from backing out of the entrance opening, while allowing articulation of the head, within the through hole, relative to the plate.

At least one end portion of the stud has a drive receiving recess formed therein. The intermediate threaded portion may be a single continuous thread or two distinct threads. The pitch and spacing on the thread or threads need not be identical and are ideally matched to the receiving threads of an orafice. The drive pocket in the head of the stud allows the shaft to be installed and removed by applying torque to the end and not to the body of the stud along the shaft. The stud may also be securely held so as not to be loosened or removed from one set of receiving threads into which it is installed while an object is installed or removed from the threads on the opposing end.

Spring-actuated appendage for stuffed animal and method for use

A stuffed animal includes a body and an appendage attached to the body. The appendage includes an elongate bi-stable spring element movable between a first extended position that is straight and a second articulated position that forms a loop. The stuffed animal further includes a material covering the body appendage. Deflecting the surface of the bi-stable spring element, such as by lightly rapping it, causes the spring element to move to the second articulated position and wrap the appendage around an object, such as a wrist, a child's bed rail, or stroller bar. The stuffed animal hangs from the object by the appendage, and will stay attached until pulled off, thereby preventing the accidental loss of the animal.
