  • Patent number: 11944400
    Abstract: Robotic Angioplasty and Endoluminar Surgery System to separate patient and operator by remotely moving guides and catheters during operations, composed of three or more elements, of which at least one disposable (nose), available in different versions, like for independent advancements and retractions of a balloon catheter (or stent) and relative guide and to their common axial rotation, or for moving a guide with a moving core or a catheter. The nose should be inserted into a non-sterile Slave placed near the patient, covered with sterile drapes, and with a combination of toothed wheels it translates all into three rotations controlled by three independent motors, possibly measuring the torque applied by the motors. By replacing the three angular gauges to the motors, a Master is obtained, controlled by a doctor by moving non-sterile tubes.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9655638
    Abstract: The patent is relative to a new instrument for single access laparoscopy that tries to overcome the limits of the present instrumentation used in this technique, that usually allows to use only one forceps, which does not allow to keep the tissues tenses to work with the surgical instrument. To overcome this limitation, the proposed instrument presents two arms, arranged in parallel presenting a diameter equal to half of the main body in the opening direction of the same, while in the direction perpendicular to this these arms can have an higher diameter, provided its shape be entirely circumscribed by the external dimension of the initial body, and each bearing at the tip a forceps, which may be mounted directly on the arms or on two auxiliary arms. The internal mechanism allows opening the two arms, not necessarily in the plane of rotation of the control rings, while the forceps bend toward the inside, keeping their configuration, being all this controlled by a single command.

Two additional commands allow then to open and close the forceps individually, and each command can be locked in any position.
