Publication number: 20220370160Abstract: Co-manipulation robotic systems are described herein that may be used for assisting with laparoscopic surgical procedures. The co-manipulation robotic systems allow a surgeon to use commercially-available surgical tools while providing benefits associated with surgical robotics. Advantageously, the surgical tools may be seamlessly coupled to the robot arms using a disposable coupler while the reusable portions of the robot arm remain in a sterile drape. Further, the co-manipulation robotic system may operate in multiple modes to enhance usability and safety, while allowing the surgeon to position the instrument directly with the instrument handle and further maintain the desired position of the instrument using the robot arm.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 2, 2022Publication date: November 24, 2022Applicant: Moon Surgical SASInventors: Ehsan BASAFA, Nicolas LINARD, David Paul NOONAN

Publication number: 20190374291Abstract: A system and a method for surgical image guidance are described herein. The system includes a first imaging device and an image processing system operatively connected to the first imaging device. The image processing system is configured to: receive real-time image data from the first imaging device; receive secondary image data from a second imaging device; produce enhanced composite image data by improving an alignment of physical structures in a real-time image. The image processing system is configured to operate in an unlocked mode in which the real-time image is free to move relative to the secondary image and a locked mode wherein the real-time image and the secondary image are locked relative to each other to prevent relative movement therebetween. The imaging device is configured to be able to provide information to the image processing system when the image processing system is operating in the unlocked mode.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 21, 2017Publication date: December 12, 2019Applicant: Clear Guide Medical, Inc.Inventors: Philipp Jakob Stolka, Ehsan Basafa

Publication number: 20190374290Abstract: An image guided surgical system includes a marker attachable to and removable from an elongated surgical tool having a shaft, and at least one camera, and an image processing system in communication with the camera configured to obtain an image of the surgical tool. The image processing system is configured to operate in a calibration mode to generate a template and display the template on a display device and to receive a user input, after the image of the surgical tool is aligned to the template, to adjust a length of the template to substantially match a length of the surgical tool. A storage device in communication with the image processing system is included to store calibration information that associates a position of the marker with a position of the tip of the shaft of the surgical tool based on the adjusted length of the template.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 21, 2017Publication date: December 12, 2019Applicant: Clear Guide Medical, Inc.Inventors: Philipp Jakob Stolka, Pezhman Foroughi, Ehsan Basafa, Martin Hossbach
