Surgical Robots TRIZ Cases
- Master-Slave Force Feedback Control for Flexible Moving Elements
A variable amplification factor compensates for force loss in bent flexible slave elements, improving tactile feedback at the master side.
- Surgical Stapler Jaw Mechanism to Prevent Operation Member Backslip
A reciprocating jaw assembly and backward-moving wire keep the operation member from slipping during stapling, improving precision and efficiency.
- Staple Cartridge Retention and Datum Alignment in Surgical Staplers
A resilient retainer and datum locator keep the staple cartridge seated when open and aligned with anvil pockets when closed for proper staple formation.
- Articulating Ultrasonic Jaw Assembly With Distal Transducer Stiffness
Distal transducer placement and routed jaw cables improve tip stiffness, articulation freedom, and ultrasonic energy delivery in surgery.
- Surgical Clip Applier Wedge Mechanism for Partial Vessel Occlusion
A wedge-engaged jaw mechanism enables partial or full clip closure, supporting variable vessel occlusion and catheter retention.
- Staple Cartridge Support Beam for Articulating Tissue Stapling
A longitudinal support beam stabilizes a replaceable staple cartridge in an articulating stapling assembly for more precise tissue stapling and cutting.
- Steerable Overtube Assembly With Manual and Robotic Steering
A shared control hub combines manual and robotic actuators to steer an overtube in multiple planes for precise endoluminal access.
- Virtualized Remote Surgery Network for Low-Latency Robotic Control
A virtualized network separates control and data paths to keep remote robotic surgery low-latency, reliable, and secure.
- Magnetic Sensing in Surgical Instruments With Rotating User Inputs
Sealed magnetic sensors inside the instrument shaft detect rotating user inputs, reducing laparoscope length while supporting sterilization.
- Replaceable Clip Cartridge for Multi-Fire Surgical Appliers
Preloaded sterile cartridges stack and advance multiple clips, reducing reload interruptions while improving robotic clip placement safety.
- Ultrasonic Horn Cam-Slot Structure for Balanced Jaw Actuation
A cam slot and offset transverse holes let an ultrasonic horn drive jaw clamping while preserving vibration balance for precise tissue sealing.
- Medical Robot Arm Collision Control With Selective Inclusion Areas
Selective inclusion areas around robot arms and proximal instrument shafts prevent interference while preserving distal tip freedom in surgery.
- Articulating Ultrasonic End Effector With Flexible Energy Transmission
A flexible connector and segmented transducers let an articulating ultrasonic jaw-blade assembly navigate tight surgical sites without enlarging shaft diameter.
- Reinforced Staple Cartridge Structure for Thick Tissue Clamping
A metallic reinforcing wall supports a polymer staple cartridge during thick tissue clamping to improve staple formation and tissue sealing.
