Abstract
A robotically-assisted implant impaction system includes a robot arm, a release member coupled to the robot arm, and an impactor coupled to the robot arm via the release member. The release member includes a spring, a slide member biased by the spring to a position retaining the impactor on the robot arm, and a knob manipulable by a user to compress the spring to allow release of the impactor from the robot arm.
Claims20
A robotically-assisted implant impaction system, comprising:
- a robot arm;
- a release member coupled to the robot arm;
- and
- an impactor coupled to the robot arm via the release member, wherein the release member comprises a spring, a slide member biased by the spring to a position retaining the impactor on the robot arm, and a knob manipulable by a user to compress the spring to allow release of the impactor from the robot arm.
A robotically-assisted implant impaction system, comprising:
- a robot arm;
- a mount extending from a distal segment of the robot arm;
- a collar coupled to the mount such that the robot arm is arranged to constrain movement of or move the collar;
- and
- an impactor comprising a shaft extending through the collar, the shaft comprising a distal end configured to couple to a prosthetic component and a proximal head of the shaft providing a flat surface configured to be struck by a surgeon.
A robotically-assisted surgery system, comprising:
- a robot arm;
- a release member coupled to the robot arm;
- and
- an shaft coupled to the robot arm via the release member, wherein the release member comprises a spring, a slide member biased by the spring to a position retaining the shaft on the robot arm, and a knob manipulable by a user to compress the spring to allow release of the shaft from the robot arm.
