Publication number: 20230248453Abstract: A surgical robotic system includes a robotic arm cart for supporting a robotic arm, and a docking station configured to be secured to an operating room floor around a surgical table. The robotic arm cart has a plurality of legs having wheels for facilitating movement of the robotic arm cart along the floor of the operating room. The robotic arm cart is configured to transition from an enlarged footprint state to a reduced footprint state. When the robotic arm cart is in the reduced footprint state, the robotic arm cart may be connected to the docking station to provide stability to the robotic arm cart.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 10, 2023Publication date: August 10, 2023Inventors: Ulrich Hagn, Jason T. Iceman, Shane Reardon, Noah N. Yang

Publication number: 20230248277Abstract: Optical coherence tomography (herein “OCT”) based analyte monitoring systems are disclosed. In one aspect, techniques are disclosed that can identify fluid flow in vivo (e.g., blood flow), which can act as a metric for gauging the extent of blood perfusion in tissue. For instance, if OCT is to be used to estimate the level of an analyte (e.g., glucose) in tissue, a measure of the extent of blood flow can potentially indicate the presence of an analyte correlating region, which would be suitable for analyte level estimation with OCT. Another aspect is related to systems and methods for scanning multiple regions. An optical beam is moved across the surface of the tissue in two distinct manners. The first can be a coarse scan, moving the beam to provide distinct scanning positions on the skin. The second can be a fine scan where the beam is applied for more detailed analysis.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 18, 2023Publication date: August 10, 2023Inventors: Walter J. Shakespeare, William Henry Bennett, Jason T. Iceman, Howard P. Apple, Phillip William Wallace, Matthew J. Schurman

Patent number: 11464614Abstract: A mesh deployment device having separate mesh deployment and actuation units is provided. A mesh deployment device includes an actuation unit and a mesh deployment unit configured to be releasably secured to the actuation unit. When the mesh deployment unit is secured to the actuation unit, a first actuation of the actuation unit moves the mesh deployment unit from an expanded condition to a collapsed condition and a second actuation of the actuation unit moves the mesh deployment unit from the collapsed condition to the expanded condition. The mesh deployment device may further include a mesh releasably secured to the mesh deployment unit. A third actuation of the actuation unit may release the mesh from the mesh deployment unit. Also provided is a kit including multiple mesh deployment units.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2019Date of Patent: October 11, 2022Assignee: Covidien LPInventors: William T. Kelly, Jason T.

Patent number: 10182898Abstract: An instrument for deploying a surgical implant includes a handle, an elongated shaft extending from the handle, and a frame arm. The frame arm includes a clip pair for releasably attaching the surgical implant to the frame arm. The clip pair includes first and second clips operably coupled by a spring member. The first and second clips are repositionable from a closed position to an open position. The spring member biases the first and second clips towards the closed position. A lock bar is coupled to the frame arm and translatable between an unlocked position and a locked position. In the locked position, the lock bar maintains the first and second clips in either the open or the closed position. When the lock bar is in the unlocked position, the first and second clips are freely rotatable between the open and closed positions.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2016Date of Patent: January 22, 2019Assignee: Covidien LPInventors: Jason T.
