Patent number: 10016242Abstract: A method of implementing a splint device, and associated splint device, are provided for a guidance system of a surgical robot. A splint body includes first and second stabilizing portions extending from opposed lateral sides of a medial portion, and defines a U channel. The medial portion, or the medial portion and one of the stabilizing portions, defines a bridge portion extending along the U channel. A partition member, received by the bridge portion, extends into and longitudinally along the U channel. An adhesive material is engaged with the splint body, within the U channel. The U channel is engaged about a tooth or jaw of a patient, and urged toward the tooth or jaw, such that the partition member engages the tooth or jaw and separates the adhesive material into a first portion engaged with the first stabilizing portion and a second portion engaged with the second stabilizing portion.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2016Date of Patent: July 10, 2018Assignee: Neocis Inc.Inventors: Juan Ricardo Salcedo, Alon Mozes, Manan Kishore Shah, Ryan Anderson, Jeffrey Ganeles, Federico Grande, John Philip Kennedy

Patent number: 9877810Abstract: A method of conducting a sinus lift procedure is provided. A secure and physical interaction is formed between a fiducial device and a site within a patient's mouth to form a fiducial marker. A virtual incising plan is formed for incising the patient's maxilla, with respect to the fiducial marker, for providing access to a sinus membrane. Movement of an incising device is physically regulated with respect to the fiducial marker with a guidance device. The incising device is in physical communication with the fiducial marker via the fiducial device. The guidance device physically regulates movement of the incising device, according to the virtual incising plan and corresponding with physical manipulation of the incising device by a user, to incise the maxilla. Tactile feedback is provided to the user, via the incising device, if the physical manipulation of the incising device by the user deviates from the virtual incising plan.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2013Date of Patent: January 30, 2018Assignee: Neocis Inc.Inventors: Alon Mozes, Federico Grande

Patent number: 9770306Abstract: A surgical system for positioning a prosthetic component includes a surgical tool and a force system configured to provide a force to the surgical tool. The system further includes a controller programmed to: compare an actual pose of a prosthetic component engaged by the surgical tool and a target pose of the prosthetic component, and generate control signals that cause the force system to allow movement of the surgical tool within a range of movement and to provide a force to constrain movement of the surgical tool beyond the range of movement. The force resists movement of the surgical tool that would cause substantial deviation between an aspect of the actual pose of the prosthetic component and a corresponding aspect of the target pose. The controller is programmed to generate control signals that cause the force system to maintain the force as the prosthetic component is implanted on the anatomy.Type: GrantFiled: March 20, 2017Date of Patent: September 26, 2017Assignee: MAKO Surgical Corp.Inventors: Benny Hagag, Hyosig Kang, Alon Mozes, Daniel Odermatt, Brian D.
