Embodiment Construction

[0062] Embodiments of the presently disclosed surgical robot support system and method of use are described in detail with reference to the drawings, wherein like reference numerals designate like or corresponding elements in each of the several views. As used herein, the term "distal" refers to that part of the support system that is further from the floor on which the support system is located, while the term "proximal" refers to that part of the support system that is closer to the floor.

[0063] turn to Figure 1 to Figure 3 , a surgical robot arm support system 10 is provided. The support system 10 is configured to be positioned on the floor "F" of an operating room and at least partially surrounds an operating table "ST". The support system 10 generally includes a base 20 and a plurality of columns 40a, 40b, 40c, 40d extending vertically and upwardly from the base 20 . As described in more detail below, each column 40a, 40b, 40c, 40d is configured to support a robotic...

Abstract

A surgical robotic arm support system may include a base and at least one post and / or a connection for coupling a robot arm to the support system. The base may be configured to at least partially surround a surgical table. The at least one post may have a first end supported on the base and a second end configured to support a robotic arm. The at least one post may be configured to be coupled to a surgical table. The connection may support a mechanical and / or electrical connectivity between the support system and a coupled robot arm. Electrical connectivity may be configured to identify at least one of the robot arm connections to which at least one robot arm is connected. Each robot arm connection may be configured to maintain a portion of a connected robot arm at a predetermined position from the base.

Description

technical field [0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims the benefit of and priority to US Provisional Patent Application No. 61 / 992,285, filed May 13, 2014, the entire disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference. Background technique [0003] Robotic surgical systems have been used in minimally invasive medical procedures. Some robotic surgical systems include a console and multiple robotic arms. Surgical instruments, including end effectors such as forceps or grasping tools, may be mounted to one or more robotic arms. The robotic arm provides mechanical power to the surgical instrument for its manipulation and movement. Each robotic arm may include an instrument drive unit operatively connected to a surgical instrument. [0004] A robotic surgical system includes three or more robotic arms that are available during surgery. The arms are positioned at different locations beside the patient to enable the instruments at...
