20160001038 | TOOL AND METHOD FOR USING SURGICAL ENDOSCOPE WITH SPIRAL LUMENS - An embodiment of the present invention provides for an elongated medical device with a hypotube backbone running through the device, and a spiral lumen spiraled around the backbone along the length of the backbone. The backbone may be formed from a nitinol alloy for increased bendability without compromising axial stiffness. The device may also incorporate a jacket around the hypotube and spiral lumen formed using either melting, molding, bonding, or casting. The spiral lumen may be configured to accommodate a variety of uses, including actuation members (e.g., pull wires), tools, and means for aspiration, irrigation, image capture, and illumination. Additionally, the present invention provides a method for constructing an elongated medical device with a hypotube backbone running through the device, and a spiral lumen spiraled around the backbone along the length of the backbone. | 01-07-2016 |
20150119637 | SYSTEM FOR ROBOTIC-ASSISTED ENDOLUMENAL SURGERY AND RELATED METHODS - An endolumenal robotic system provides the surgeon with the ability to drive a robotically-driven endoscopic device to a desired anatomical position in a patient without the need for awkward motions and positions, while also enjoying improved image quality from a digital camera mounted on the endoscopic device. | 04-30-2015 |
20150101442 | METHOD, APPARATUS, AND A SYSTEM FOR FACILITATING BENDING OF AN INSTRUMENT IN A SURGICAL OR MEDICAL ROBOTIC ENVIRONMENT - An instrument that facilitates bending with large degrees of articulation while maintaining ease of manufacturing for medical and surgical applications is discussed. | 04-16-2015 |
20150025539 | METHOD, APPARATUS AND SYSTEM FOR A WATER JET - A water jet instrument may be used for manually performing eye surgery such as, cataract, or perform micro-surgery (remove cartilage), or any emulsification technique. The water jet instrument may be manually controlled or controlled by a system with a robotic control. The water jet apparatus defines a jet cutting area that is based at least in part on a flow rate meter and a feedback loop. | 01-22-2015 |
20140309649 | METHOD, APPARATUS AND SYSTEM FOR A WATER JET - A water jet instrument may be used for manually performing eye surgery such as, cataract, or perform micro-surgery (remove cartilage), or any emulsification technique. The water jet instrument may be manually controlled or controlled by a system with a robotic control. The water jet apparatus defines a jet cutting area that is based at least in part on a flow rate meter and a feedback loop. | 10-16-2014 |
20140142591 | METHOD, APPARATUS AND A SYSTEM FOR ROBOTIC ASSISTED SURGERY - A solution to facilitate robotic assisted surgery is discussed that allows for improved vision and manipulation. | 05-22-2014 |
20140012276 | LITHOTRIPSY EYE TREATMENT - A lithotripsy probe is used to break up cataracts, sinus blockages and other body masses, where the broken materials may be removed by suction. The lithotripsy probe may have a spark generator, a fluid motion generator, or other component for breaking up the body mass. | 01-09-2014 |
