Embodiment Construction

[0013] Surgeons performing laparoscopic procedures typically do not have direct visibility into the interaction of surgical instruments with the patient's tissues and organs. However, by inserting an image capture device to view the distal end of the tool, surgeons can rely on visual feedback to identify the patient's anatomy. For a greater chance of success in laparoscopic procedures, the surgeon should manipulate surgical tools with dexterity and dexterity. In some cases, the distal end of the tool can include sensors that provide multimodal (ie, visual, auditory, and / or tactile) feedback to the surgeon. Through this multimodal feedback, the surgeon can better monitor the force exerted by the tool to reduce damage and trauma to tissues and organs, thereby reducing complications associated with laparoscopic procedures.

[0014] Another aspect relevant to the success of surgical procedures is proper sterilization of instruments. With respect to reusable disposable tools, one...

Abstract

Implementations of modular tools and methods of operating modular tools are described in the present disclosure. A modular tool according to one of several possible embodiments comprises a handle portion and a distal portion. The handle portion is configured to be manipulated by a user. The distal portion is configured to be attached to the handle portion, but is further configured to be removable from the handle portion by the user. Manipulation of the handle portion causes movement of one or more components of the distal portion. The distal portion is further configured to sense one or more parameters and transmit the sensed parameters to the handle portion.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments of the present disclosure relate generally to modular tools, and more particularly to mechanical and electrical connections between different parts of modular tools. Background technique [0002] In the field of surgery, open surgical procedures involve making large incisions in the patient's abdomen, allowing the surgeon access to various organs. Laparoscopic surgical procedures, on the other hand, involve accessing organs through one or more small incisions, making these procedures less invasive than open surgery. Because laparoscopic procedures are minimally invasive, hospital stays are typically reduced, patients require fewer treatments, patients experience less pain, scarring is reduced, and the likelihood of complications is reduced. [0003] During laparoscopic procedures, tiny cameras can be introduced into the patient through an incision. The cameras transmit images to a video monitor, allowing surgeons to view the patient's org...
