Abstract
A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) compatible core biopsy system uses a biopsy device having intuitive graphical displays and a detachable remote keypad that advantageously allows convenient control even within the close confines afforded by a localization fixture installed within a breast coil that localizes a patient's breast and guides a probe of the biopsy device relative to the localized breast. A control module for interactive control and power generation are remotely positioned and communicate and transmit rotational mechanical energy via sheathed cable.
Claims30
-17. (canceled)
A surgical system comprising:
- a surgical device comprising:
- a housing including a distal end;
- a cutting element extending from the housing at the distal end, wherein the cutting element may be selectively rotated and translated;
- and
- an adapter configured to selectively and detachably receive the surgical device and secure the surgical device thereto.
The system of claim 1, further comprising a rotator operatively connected to the surgical device, wherein the rotator is selectively rotatable to position the cutting element.
A surgical system comprising:
- a surgical device comprising:
- a housing including a distal end;
- a cutting element extending from the housing at the distal end, wherein the cutting element is configured to selectively rotate and translate relative to a tissue biopsy area;
- a cradle top, wherein the cradle top receives a portion of the surgical device;
- an adapter having an elongated base section and an upwardly extending wall, wherein the base section of the adapter is configured to selectively and detachably receive the cradle top, wherein the upwardly extending wall is configured to selectively and detachably receive a second surgical device;
- and
- wherein the cradle top is selectively secured directly to the adapter by a latching mechanism.
A surgical system comprising:
- a surgical device comprising:
- a housing including a distal end;
- a cutting element extending from the housing at the distal end, wherein the cutting element is configured to selectively rotate and translate relative to a tissue biopsy area;
- an external rotator operatively connected directly to the surgical device, wherein the rotator is configured for selectively rotating the cutting element to a desired position;
- a cradle top, wherein the cradle top receives a portion of the surgical device;
- an adapter having an elongated base section and an upwardly extending wall, wherein the base section of the adapter is configured to selectively and detachably receive the cradle top and wherein the upwardly extending wall is configured to selectively and detachably receive a second surgical device, wherein the cradle top is selectively secured directly to the adapter by a latching mechanism;
- and
- a trocar holder, wherein the trocar holder is selectively and detachably engageable with the adapter to position a separate trocar.
