Hand table device for surgeons including a rectangular, rigid platform having elevated edges running along each long side thereof. The elevated edges allow the surgeon and assistant to rest their arms / wrists to prevent fatigue of their arms and shoulders while also providing a solid foundation for the surgeon's arms / wrists during a delicate procedure. The edges further prevent instruments and fluids from exiting the surgery area. The rigid platform may include magnets which, along with secondary metallic articles, permit instruments, medical devices and a patient's body part to be secured or immobilized as needed. The hand table device may be disposable for one-time use only.

A surgical assistance device (10) has a ring band (12) that is worn on a surgeon's finger from which opposed clasp jaws (20, 30) extend. The opposed clasp jaws (20, 30) define a channel (40) configured to receive a guidewire (70) to be inserted into a patient's bone. The surgeon locates a desired entry point for the guidewire (70) with his or her finger on which the ring band (12) is worn, and thereby positions the channel (40) of the device (10) to receive the guidewire (70) so that such guidewire (70) when inserted through the channel (40) is directed in the desired entry point and into the patient. The surgeon maintains his or her finger at the desired location during guidewire (70) insertion, and then detaches the device (10) from the installed guidewire (70) by separating the opposed clasp jaws (20, 30).

A master workstation (101) for a robotic system (100) for medical or surgical remote operation, comprising: at least one mechanically ungrounded master control device (110) including a support or handle (111) having a surface (112) for the palm of a surgeon; and an operating gripper (113) attached to the support (111) having two opposing operating interfaces (115, 116) for the fingers of a surgeon, and a control gripper (113) includes a first rigid body portion (117) and a second rigid body portion (118) placed side by side, the first rigid body portion (117) being rotatably constrained to a support portion (111) around a first axis, and the second rigid body portion (118) being rotatably constrained to a support portion (111) around a second axis that coincides with or is parallel to the first axis, and the tracking system is configured to individually detect position and orientation information of the first rigid body portion (117) and the second rigid body portion (118) of the operating gripper (113).

An unconstrained master controller device (110) for a robotic system for medical or surgical teleoperation, the master controller device comprising at least one wearable portion (210) comprising a pair of wearable elements (211, 212) for a surgeon's fingers (F1, F2), and a control gripper (220) for controlling the wearable elements (211, 212) of the surgeon's fingers (F1, F2), and a control gripper for controlling at least one degree of freedom of a slave surgical instrument (170) associable with the master controller device, where the master controller device (110) comprises at least one degree of freedom of internal orientation allowing at least one wearable element (211, 212) of the pair of wearable elements to be reoriented.

A system for performing ophthalmic treatment includes a handpiece configured to be held by a surgeon's hand. An end effector is mounted to the handpiece and is configured to perform an operative treatment on tissue of a patient, such as eye tissue, when performing an ophthalmic treatment. The system includes: a motion sensor configured to sense a movement of the handpiece; and one or more stabilization actuators configured to stabilize movement of the handpiece in response to movement of a surgeon's hand. A controller is coupled to the motion sensor and the one or more stabilization actuators and is configured to instruct the one or more stabilization actuators to compensate for motion detected by the motion sensor. The controller may include a high-pass filter, wherein an output of the high-pass filter is used to control the stabilization actuator. Parameters of the high-pass filter can be adjusted in the whole ophthalmic treatment process.

The invention relates to a surgeon input device (300) to be used by a surgeon to control robotic surgical instruments in a minimally invasive surgery procedure. The surgeon input device (300) comprises a housing (302), a pinch button (304), and a clutch button (306). A sensor (310) is disposed within the housing (302) detects compression and decompression of the pinch button (304), by the surgeon's finger. A multiple infrared (IR) sensors (308a), (308b), (308c) may be configured within the housing (302) to detect the presence of surgeon's hand. A sensor (314) is operably coupled to an electromagnetic wave generator 10 (130) and configured to detect at least one of a position and orientation of a surgeon's hand within a predefined electromagnetic field generated by the electromagnetic wave generator (130) and send a signal to a console processor (118). The clutch button (306) allows the repose of the hand of the surgeon and lets the surgeon be in a comfortable position, without moving the surgical instrument.

A surgical system having a surgical device with an integrated user interface controllable by a hand of a surgeon, an adaptor for connecting the integrated user interface of the surgical device to a robotic arm and a control unit for remotely operating the surgical device when connected to the robotic arm.

A radiolucent medical imaging compatible approach of gathering stress and strain data from radiolucent pressure sensors arrayed along radiolucent surgical robotic circumduction end effectors, of transmitting electrical current and said sensor data via non-metallic yet conductive means, and of providing this sensor data as real-time haptic feedback to a surgeon's hand, fingers, thumbs and wrist via naturalistic control glove which issues gestural commands to the radiolucent end effector, for purposes of performing minimally-invasive robotic surgery, dissection, retraction, electrocautery, anastomosis and for delivering collision avoidance of said end-effectors within the radiographic and magnetic imaging bores.

Systems and method for navigation of surgical instruments through an inner body part by enabling to: obtain biometrical properties of a hand of a specific surgeon; ongoing measure updated properties of the hand of the specific surgeon during the surgical procedure to determine an updated hand position of the hand of the surgeon within a coordinate system, based on the measured updated properties and the obtained biometrical properties of the specific surgeon; and determine updated relative position between the surgical instrument being used and the body part, based on an updated image of the body part and determined updated hand position of the specific surgeon within the coordinate system, for enabling using the hand of the specific surgeon as a personalized dynamic marker for assisting the surgeon in navigation of the surgical instrument held thereby, during the surgical procedure of the body part.
