  • Patent number: 10751075
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a medical apparatus. The medical apparatus includes an adapter, a tool hub, and a releasing member. The adapter is configured to be fastened to a surgical handpiece. The adapter has a lumen, and the lumen has an interior surface. The tool hub is configured to be fastened to the adapter by a snap-in mechanism through the interior surface of the lumen. The releasing member is configured to release the tool hub from the adapter by a twisting force on the releasing member. The releasing member includes a restoring mechanism configured to restore the releasing member from a twisted state to a normal standing state upon removal of the twisting force.

  • Patent number: 10024746
    Abstract: A method of determining fluid pressure inside a conduit. The method includes positioning a conduit in a surgical system. The conduit having an external surface, and the surgical system having a pair of sensors. The conduit is positioned in the surgical system such that the external surface of the conduit applies a force on the pair of sensors when the conduit expands. The method includes a step of generating one or more electrical signals with the pair of sensors. The one or more electrical signals corresponding to the force on the pair of sensors. The method includes a step of determining the fluid pressure inside the conduit by converting the one or more electrical signals into a fluid pressure value through a controller.
