  • Probe with gripping structure for robotic surgical system
    Patent number: 10398490
    Abstract: An argon beam coagulation probe for a robotic surgery system having a body with an argon gas entry port and an argon gas exit port and a pedestal interconnected to the underside of body that includes a pair of opposing arcuate channels that positioned equidistantly about the body. As a result, the argon gas jet exit port will be aligned equidistantly between the two fingers of a robotic arm and the body will be aligned in the same direction as the yaw axis of the robotic arm, so that argon gas will be expelled in the same direction that the fingers are pointing. A surgeon manipulating the robotic arms from the master control can thus easily align the probe based on the positioning of the robotic fingers and will still have the entire range of pitch, yaw, and roll movement of the robotic system.
