Abstract
An adaptor for coupling a proximal portion of an elongate surgical tool to a motorized robotic surgical device, the adaptor comprising: a recess shaped and sized for receiving a proximal portion of an elongate surgical tool; one or more movers positioned to contact and move a control component of the proximal portion; and transmission coupling which couples the one or more movers to motorized transmission of the robotic surgical device.
Claims18
An adaptor for coupling a proximal portion of an elongate surgical tool to a motorized robotic surgical device, said elongate surgical tool comprising a distal end and a proximal portion, said proximal portion comprising one or more control components, the adaptor comprising:
- a recess shaped and sized for receiving said proximal portion of said elongate surgical tool;
- one or more movers positioned to contact and move said one or more control components to affect said distal end of said elongate surgical tool;
- and
- transmission coupling which couples said one or more movers to motorized transmission of the robotic surgical device;
- wherein at least an inner portion of said adaptor in which said recess is defined is configured to rotate along with the proximal portion of the tool.
An adaptor for coupling a proximal portion of an elongate surgical tool to a motorized robotic surgical device, said elongate surgical tool comprising a distal end and a proximal portion, said proximal portion comprising one or more control components, the adaptor comprising:
- a recess shaped and sized for receiving said proximal portion of said elongate surgical tool;
- one or more movers positioned to contact and move said one or more control components to affect said distal end of said elongate surgical tool;
- transmission coupling which couples said one or more movers to motorized transmission of the robotic surgical device;
- a housing in which said recess is defined and which includes said one or more movers and said transmission coupling;
- wherein said housing is configured to be rotated as single unit about a long axis of said recess.
An adaptor for coupling a proximal portion of an elongate surgical tool to a motorized robotic surgical device, said elongate surgical tool comprising a distal end and a proximal portion, said proximal portion comprising one or more control components, the adaptor comprising:
- a recess shaped and sized for receiving said proximal portion of said elongate surgical tool;
- one or more movers positioned to contact and move said one or more control components to affect said distal end of said elongate surgical tool;
- transmission coupling which couples said one or more movers to motorized transmission of the robotic surgical device;
- wherein said recess and said one or more movers are configured to rotate while said transmission coupling remains stationary.
An adaptor for coupling a proximal portion of an elongate surgical tool to a motorized robotic surgical device, said elongate surgical tool comprising a distal end and a proximal portion, said proximal portion comprising one or more control components, the adaptor comprising:
- a recess shaped and sized for receiving said proximal portion of said elongate surgical tool;
- one or more movers positioned to contact and move said one or more control components to affect said distal end of said elongate surgical tool;
- transmission coupling which couples said one or more movers to motorized transmission of the robotic surgical device;
- a housing in which said recess is defined and which includes said one or more movers and said transmission coupling;
- wherein said housing comprises mechanical and/or electrical connections positioned and configured to attach to a housing of the robotic surgical device.
