  • Surgical mechanism control system
    Patent number: 9639953
    Abstract: A surgical mechanism control system including an acceleration or orientation detection unit to output a control signal in response to detecting an acceleration or orientation of the unit, the unit being attachable to a surgeon. The unit includes an acceleration sensor and the acceleration sensor has an associated threshold acceleration, such that an acceleration below the associated threshold acceleration does not cause actuation of an associated switch unit and an acceleration above the associated threshold acceleration does cause the associated switch unit to actuate. A control signal is output on actuation of the switch unit and foot pedal, and the control signal is used to control a surgical mechanism.

  • SURGICAL MECHANISM CONTROL SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20160045274
    Abstract: A surgical mechanism control system comprising: a beam emitter unit configured to emit only a single beam and adapted to be attached to a surgeon; a first pair of discrete beam detectors each adapted to detect an incident beam emitted by the beam emitter unit and output a corresponding control signal when in incident beam is detected; and a control unit configured to receive one or more control signals output by the beam detectors and control a surgical mechanism in accordance with the one or more control signals.
