Abstract: A toilet seat lift system includes a base adapted to a toilet, a seat lift transitionable between a lowered position and a raised position and including a toilet seat, a hydraulic power supply including a cylinder and a control valve, the cylinder extending between the base and the seat lift, wherein the hydraulic power supply is configured to move the seat lift between the lowered position and the raised position, and a guide system configured to direct the seat lift along a lift and descent path between the lowered position and the raised position.

Abstract: A sterile barrier assembly for releasably attaching between a robotic arm and an end effector. The assembly includes a drape configured to cover the robotic arm and an interface coupled to the drape. The interface has a body with opposing first and second sides, a coupling extending through the body to provide first and second coupling interfaces, and multiple kinematic couplers extending through the body such that portions of each coupler protrude from both sides. The interface is bi-directionally mountable to the first and second mounting portions in two installation configurations. In each configuration, the coupling interfaces and kinematic coupler portions on one side engage one mounting portion, while those on the opposite side engage the other, enabling reversible connection.

Abstract: Surgical systems and methods involve a robotic arm with a first mounting portion that releasably receives a sterile barrier assembly and a second mounting portion associated with a surgical component. An illumination device is coupled to the robotic arm. Controller(s) detect, using one or more sensors, a condition associated with installation of one or more of the sterile barrier assembly and the second mounting portion to the first mounting portion. The controller(s) control the illumination device to indicate the condition to a user.

Abstract: In an example, a mounting apparatus for pivotably securing an item can include a central body defining a raised slot and an aperture on a front face and a locking assembly. The locking assembly can include a pivotable plate insertable within the raised slot of the central body and defining a locking slot and an item receptacle, a locking pin insertable through the aperture of the central body and towards the locking slot of the pivotable plate to limit rotation of the pivotable plate, and a forward biasing member providing a force to bias the locking pin towards the locking slot, wherein the item is coupled to the item receptacle to rotate with the pivotable plate.

Abstract: A robotic surgical system includes a robotic arm comprising a plurality of links and joints, an end effector, and a mounting assembly for coupling the end effector and the robotic arm. The mounting assembly includes a robot mount associated with the robotic arm and an end effector mount associated with the end effector. The mounting assembly also includes a sterile barrier assembly including a coupling and kinematic couplers. A first lock assembly releasably secures the coupling to the robot mount and a second lock assembly releasably secures the end effector mount to the coupling. A tensioner associated with either mount is movable between a first position and a second position such that the kinematic couplers engage with, and provide a kinematic coupling between, the mounts through the sterile barrier assembly to constrain six degrees of freedom of movement between the mounts.

Abstract: A holster retainer for releasably retaining a holster having a securing apparatus fixed to the holster for connecting to a mounting apparatus. The holster retainer may include a cavity for securing a holster; a channel configured to receive a securing apparatus of the holster, wherein at least a portion of the channel is disposed within the cavity; and a latch extending along a base of the channel, with the latch configured to releasably engage the securing apparatus of the holster to retain the holster in the holster retainer. A modular holster system may include a holster for supporting a tool, the holster having a securing apparatus; a mounting apparatus configured to receive the securing apparatus of the holster for releasably affixing the holster to a user; and a holster retainer for releasably retaining the holster when the holster is not affixed to the user.
