  • Publication number: 20230255827
    Abstract: An intraocular device for treating glaucoma comprising a treatment probe comprising a distal end region and a proximal end region, the distal end region including a distal end effector sized to penetrate the trabecular meshwork; an outer sheath surrounding at least the proximal end region of the treatment probe; and a drive mechanism operatively coupled to a proximal end of the treatment probe and configured to cause oscillatory movement of the proximal end of the treatment probe to vibrate the distal end effector and agitate intraocular tissue in contact with the distal end effector. Related devices, systems, and methods are provided.

  • Publication number: 20210380152
    Abstract: Apparatuses and methods described herein relate to arm carts for transporting and securing a robotic arm to a surgical table. In some embodiments, an arm cart may include an arm support having two joints that can be manipulated to move an arm into a position in which a coupler of the arm is engageable with a coupling site of a surgical table. In some embodiments, an arm cart may include an arm support that is rotatable and translatable to permit movement of an attachment area for receiving and attaching a coupling site of a surgical table to a coupler attached to an arm. In some embodiments, an arm cart may include an arm support that releasably couples to a middle segment of the arm positioned at least two segments away from an end of the arm having a coupler for coupling to a coupling site of a surgical table.

  • Publication number: 20210341007
    Abstract: An apparatus can include a coupler for coupling a robotic arm to a surgical table having a table top on which a patient can be disposed. The coupler can include a first portion configured to couple to a surgical table and a second portion configured to couple to a robotic arm. The second portion may include a post that may translate into the first portion. The first portion may comprise a locking mechanism having one or more stages to constrain movement of the second portion relative to the first portion in six degrees of freedom. The coupler can thus provide secure coupling of the robotic arm to the surgical table.
