Robotic Double Cannulation Cannula

Abstract

The Robotic Double Cannulation Cannula is a laparoscopic cannula that will be docked to the Si, X or Xi da Vinci Surgical Systems® (Intuitive, Sunnyvale Calif.) and then placed through an EndoWrist 12 mm & Stapler Cannula® (Intuitive, Sunnyvale Calif.). This provides ease of insertion and extraction of surgical materials, such as suture and mesh, along with specimen extraction, without having to undock the robotic arm. Once inserted, the Robotic Double Cannulation Cannula remote center of movement will match the remote center of movement of the EndoWrist 12 mm & Stapler Cannula® (Intuitive, Sunnyvale Calif.) to prevent injury to the abdominal wall musculature. An electrical contact on the intern tip of the Robotic Double Cannulation Cannula will provide electrical grounding to the outer cannula to prevent electrical injury.
