Publication number: 20230355325Abstract: A surgical system according to at least one embodiment of the present disclosure includes an interface block disposed at a distal end of a robot arm and an end-effector block that attaches to the interface block via a nut. For example, the interface block may include a threaded rod that extends a distance from a mount surface of the interface block. Accordingly, the end-effector block may include a mount hole that passes through the end-effector block, where the nut threadedly engages with the threaded rod through the mount hole to clamp the end-effector block against the interface block. In some examples, a sterile drape may be used to provide a sterile barrier between the surgical system and a patient. Additionally, a liner plate may be used with the surgical system, such that an area of the sterile drape is disposed between the liner plate and the mount surface.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 3, 2022Publication date: November 9, 2023Inventors: Ziv Seemann, Gal Barazani, Nir Ofer, Amir Keret, Dvir Kadshai, Adam David Glaser, Daniel Paxton Wall

Publication number: 20230346492Abstract: A system includes a robot mounted to a movable base, the robot including one or more robotic arms. The system monitors, by one or more measurement devices, one or more parameters associated with an object. The system adjusts a pose of the robot based on the one or more parameters satisfying one or more criteria. The system outputs an alert based on the one or more parameters satisfying one or more second criteria. The system performs a registration process associated with the object and the robot, based on the one or more parameters satisfying the one or more second criteria. The one or more measurement devices include a mechanical measurement device that maintains a non-rigid connection between the robot and the object. The one or more measurement devices include an optical measurement device, an acoustic transducer, or a multi-sensor device.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 2, 2022Publication date: November 2, 2023Inventors: Amir Keret, Ziv Seemann, Nimrod Dori, Ron Visbrot, Adi Sandelson, Dvir Kadshai

Publication number: 20230077068Abstract: Methods and tools for implanting prosthetic heart valves and modifying leaflets of an existing valvular structure in a subject are disclosed herein. Prior to or during implantation of the prosthetic heart valve within the existing valvular structure, each tool can be provided in the ascending aorta (or equivalent thereof) of a subject and can be used to pierce, lacerate, slice, tear, cut or otherwise modify a leaflet or commissure of the existing valvular structure. The existing valvular structure can be a native aortic valve or other native heart valve, or a previously-implanted prosthetic heart valve. The modification can avoid, or at least reduce the likelihood of, issues that leaflets of the existing valvular structure might otherwise cause once the prosthetic heart valve has been fully installed, for example, obstruction of blood flow to the coronary arteries and/or improper valve mounting due to a non-circular cross-section.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 15, 2022Publication date: March 9, 2023Inventors: Ilan Tamir, David Maimon, Hanoch Cohen-Tzemach, Adva Alon, Amir Keret, Eyal Leiba, Boaz Manash, Sean Chow, Ziv Yohanan, Shay Zarneger

The kinematic interface may include at least one projection extending from both the first side and the second side. A robot flange may have a first kinematic receiver including at least one recess for receiving a corresponding projection of the at least one projection of the first side. An end effector may have a second kinematic receiver and a locking assembly. The second kinematic receiver may include at least one recess for receiving a corresponding projection of the at least one projection of the second side. The locking assembly may be configured to releasably secure the end effector to the robot flange.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 24, 2021Publication date: December 29, 2022Inventors: Amir Keret, Ziv Seemann, Dvir Kadshai, Ori Ben Zeev, Itamar Eshel, Gal Eshed, Dor Kopito
