  • Publication number: 20230355325
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20230346485
    Abstract: A surgical instrument comprises a first member extending between a proximal end and a distal end configured for fixation with tissue. A second member defines a longitudinal passageway and is connected with a navigation component such that the distal end is disposable with the passageway at a selected distance from the navigation component. The navigation component is positioned relative to a sensor to communicate a signal representative of an orientation of the first member. A third member extends between a proximal end and a distal end. The third member is mountable with the first member along the orientation such that the distal end of the third member is engageable with the tissue. Systems, spinal implants, constructs and methods are disclosed.

  • Patent number: 11559338
    Abstract: An instrument includes an outer sleeve defining a passageway and extending along an axis between proximal and distal ends. A knob sleeve is positioned in the passageway and defines a bore and a sleeve cavity. A latch is positioned in the sleeve cavity. A shaft is positioned in the bore. An inner sleeve is positioned between the knob sleeve and the shaft. A proximal end of the inner sleeve defines a notch. The knob sleeve is movable relative to the outer sleeve to move the instrument between a first orientation in which the latch is positioned in the notch and the inner sleeve is prevented from translating along the axis and a second orientation in which the latch is spaced apart from the notch and the inner sleeve is translatable along the axis. Systems, implants and methods are disclosed.
