  • Patent number: 12329574
    Abstract: A system for determining a position or an orientation of a probe across a drape may include a fiducial assembly that may be coupled to the probe though a drape. The fiducial assembly may include a base, a coupling attached to the base which may be configured to couple the fiducial assembly to the probe across the drape, and one or more fiducials attached to the base. Coupling the fiducials to the probe across the drape can allow sterile fiducials to be coupled to a non-sterile probe to determine the position and orientation of the probe based on images from the of the fiducials on a sterile side of the drape. In some embodiments, the fiducial is aligned with respect to an elongate axis of the probe with a predetermined offset and orientation with respect to the elongate axis of the probe.

  • Patent number: 12329582
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatuses detect tissue strain associated with tissue resistance and shearing and provide feedback such as real time feedback during insertion of a probe, which can decrease potential tissue damage associated with insertion of a probe. In some embodiments, a method may include generating one or more digital images of a tissue, determining a strain imparted on the tissue based on the one or more digital images, and providing feedback based on the detected strain. The feedback may be one or more of audible, visual, or haptic feedback. The feedback may be provided when the determined strain is above a threshold. The strain may be determined through the use of an artificial intelligence or machine learning classifier.

  • Patent number: 12178498
    Abstract: An energy source is offset from an elongate probe axis with an extension. The amount of offset of the energy source can be controlled by varying an amount of offset of the extension. The energy source rotated and translated at the offset distance to resect tissue. In some embodiments, the probe is configured to receive a second treatment probe comprising a second energy source, in which the second energy source is rotated and translated relative to the first treatment probe, which can improve positional accuracy and stability. The energy source and the extension can be coupled to a linkage to offset the energy source, and to translate and rotate the energy source with varying amounts of offset. The linkage can be coupled to a processor and one or more of the energy source moved in accordance with a treatment profile.

  • Patent number: 11871933
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are improved methods and apparatuses for providing hemostasis within a cavity defined by an internal surface of a bleeding tissue space. A catheter comprising a proximal end and a distal end may be advanced into the cavity through a proximal opening of the tissue space into the cavity. A distal balloon coupled to the catheter may be expanded, and the catheter tensioned to apply pressure to the internal surface of the tissue space to inhibit bleeding of the tissue space.

  • Patent number: 11638660
    Abstract: A system for extracting lens material from an eye including an instrument having a first aspiration pump driven by a drive mechanism having a motor, and an elongate member sized and configured to extend through an anterior chamber to a capsular bag of the eye. The elongate member configured to be oscillated by the drive mechanism includes an inner lumen fluidly coupled to the first aspiration pump and defining at least a portion of an aspiration waste line, and an open distal end having a distal cutting tip. The system can further include a fluid system remote from the surgical instrument including a second aspiration pump and a fluid line configured to deliver background aspiration from the second aspiration pump to the inner lumen of the elongate member to aspirate the lens material from the eye towards the inner lumen. Related devices, systems, and methods are also provided.

  • Patent number: 11553924
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are improved methods and apparatuses for providing hemostasis within a cavity defined by an internal surface of a bleeding tissue space. A catheter comprising a proximal end and a distal end may be advanced into the cavity through a proximal opening of the tissue space into the cavity. A distal balloon coupled to the catheter may be positioned adjacent a distal opening of the tissue space, and expanded to seal the distal opening. A hemostatic agent may be applied from the catheter to the internal surface of the tissue space to inhibit bleeding of the tissue space. The hemostatic agent may be applied without occluding the proximal opening, the distal opening, and a path extending therebetween with the hemostatic agent.

  • Patent number: 9326859
    Abstract: A delivery device for an annular implant that includes a balloon expansion mechanism and an annular implant having an adjustable dimension. The balloon expansion mechanism includes an inflation tube attached to a non-occluding balloon collar which is supported by trusses radially extending from a trocar. The annular implant further includes a flexible ring core, contiguous coiled spacers, and anchoring blocks. The flexible ring core is adjusted via a cinching mechanism. The anchoring blocks are spaced along the ring core by the contiguous coiled spacers, which keeps the distance between each pair of anchoring blocks equidistant as the ring core diameter is manipulated by the device user. The annular implant can also include gunbarrel elements housed in the trocar. Each gunbarrel element contains a gunbarrel pusher which drives an attachment element into the annular implant and annular tissue.

  • Patent number: 7628425
    Abstract: An energy absorption device for a steering column for a vehicle includes a resilient device, preferably in the form of a coil spring, having turns that are wound in a clamping manner around a component such as a cylindrical rod connectable to the steering column. The coil spring and cylindrical rod are slidable relatively to each other to absorb energy in the event of a vehicle crash. An adjusting device is arranged to vary the clamping force of the turns of the coil spring on the rod by winding or unwinding the coils of the spring. The clamping force may be adjusted in accordance with data such as stature of the driver, vehicle speed and vehicle attitude.
