Abstract
A surgical tool support system is provided. The system includes a support portion, a swivel arm, and a tool holder for holding a surgical tool coupled to a distal end of the swivel arm. The tool holder can have a locking joint controlled by an actuator such that the tool holder can be locked into a position along multiple axes of rotation. The system can offset the force required by a user to move the surgical tool, thereby reducing fatigue.
Claims20
A surgical tool support device comprising:
- a vertical support pole;
- a static arm coupled perpendicularly to the support pole at a first end;
- a swivel arm, wherein a proximal end of the swivel arm is rotationally coupled to a second end of the static arm;
- and
- a tool holder coupled to a distal end of the swivel arm, wherein the tool holder comprises a locking joint controlled by an actuator, wherein the tool holder can be locked into a position along multiple axes of rotation.
2 more elements
A surgical tool holder comprising:
- a clamp in communication with an actuator and
- a locking mechanism, wherein:
- the clamp is freely rotatable around an axis of the tool holder when the acutator is not actuated;
- and
- the clamp is locked into position by the locking mechanism when the actuator is actuated.
2 more elements
A system for surgical tools comprising:
- a surgical tool support device comprising;
- a vertical support pole;
- a static arm coupled perpendicularly to the support pole at a first end;
- a swivel arm, wherein a proximal end of the swivel arm is coupled to a second end of the static arm;
