Device for treating parts of a human or animal body

Abstract

The invention relates to a device for processing all types of parts, in particular bones, organs etc. of the human or animal body. Said device comprises a housing (3), a tool (1) allocated to said housing (3) and an actuating unit that causes a relative displacement of the housing (3) and the tool (1). The aim of the invention is to provide a device which uses the specific possibilities of robotics and computer-assisted navigation to give the user a high degree of process control. To achieve this, the device is configured in such a way that the position of the tool (1) can be detected and the position of the part to be processed can be detected and / or predefined. The actuating unit can be controlled in such a way that it displaces the tool (1) inside a predefined working area in a predefinable relative position in relation to the part to be processed.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to devices for the treatment of all types of parts or parts of the human or animal body, in particular for the surgical treatment of bones and organs etc., the device having a housing, a tool associated with the housing, and a drive unit, The drive unit can perform a relative movement between the housing and the tool. Background technique [0002] During bone surgery, especially orthopedic surgery, a passive guide is often used which assists the user in positioning tools on the patient and formulating an accurate surgical plan. However, all surgical steps are performed by the user himself. [0003] The disadvantage of these guidance systems is that the computer-guided tools cannot automatically reach the desired position, because during the operation, these computer-guided tools are hindered by the operator's muscle tremors and involuntary momentary movements during the operation. Therefore, the surgical plan prior to su...

Problems solved by technology

[0005] The disadvantages of this system are: 1. The operation time is prolonged; 2. The purchase and maintenance costs are very high. In addition, it is necessary to provide a setting place for this system

[0008] Although this prior art device can largely eliminate the muscle vibration generated by tool movement, the problem is that the tool cannot be controlled according to a predetermined program, but must be operated by hand

When the surgeon uses a surgical tool, such as a drill, in the wrong position or at the wrong angle, prior art devices cannot detect this error and so cannot correct it
