Patent number: 11564753Abstract: Cutting tools, systems and methods for navigated procedures are provided. A cutting tool (e.g. oscillating blade, etc.) for a power tool has an optically trackable feature in a defined positional relationship relative to a cutting feature of the cutting tool. The trackable feature may include reflective material applied to a surface (e.g. a recessed blade surface). The trackable feature is be imaged by a camera integral with or attached to the power tool and provided to a computing unit of a navigation system to determine a relative pose of the cutting feature and camera. The camera may also track a patient's bone such that the computing unit may determine a relative position of the bone and camera. The unit then computes a relative pose of the cutting feature with respect to the patient's bone and provides same for determining display information and/or to a robotic controller for procedural control.Type: GrantFiled: July 6, 2020Date of Patent: January 31, 2023Assignee: INTELLIJOINT SURGICAL INC.Inventors: Samantha McCabe, Andre Novomir Hladio

Publication number: 20220331971Abstract: Described are systems, targets, and methods for registering a tool for use in optical tracking. A first target and a second target are attached to the tool, with the first target having a known spatial relationship to the tool or end effector of the tool. By determining a spatial feature of the first target and a pose of the second target, and using the known spatial relationship between the first target and the tool or end effector of the tool, a spatial relationship between the second target and the end effector can be determined. Subsequently the first target can be removed, and the end effector is trackable based on only tracking of the second target. In some implementations, the first target is removably couplable to the tool by the same interface by which the end effector is removably couplable to the tool.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 8, 2022Publication date: October 20, 2022Inventors: JOSEPH ARTHUR SCHIPPER, HANNAH SARA ROSENBERG, SAMANTHA MCCABE

Publication number: 20220265367Abstract: There is provided a surgical instrument for navigated surgeries and systems and methods using such a surgical instrument. The surgical tool comprises a tip; a tool interface, separate from the tip; and an optically trackable target. The tip is configured to probe positions in a space and identify the positions using optical information from the optically trackable target. The tool interface is configured to mate with a surgical tool such that the optical trackable target then provides optical information with which to determine positional information for the surgical tool in the space. In one example, the system provides navigational information during surgery using the surgical instrument, namely, a single integrated tracker instrument with two or more mechanical interfaces for coupling the tracker instrument with anatomical features and/or surgical tools.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 25, 2022Publication date: August 25, 2022Inventors: ANDRE NOVOMIR HLADIO, KEVIN MORENCY, ALINA OPREA, SAMANTHA McCABE

Publication number: 20220241040Abstract: Systems and methods for robotic retraction or robotic distraction are disclosed such as for a surgical procedure. An example system is a localization system to automatically position a trackable surgical retractor or distraction with respect to a patient comprising a patient tracking element adapted to be coupled to a patient; a processing unit configured to: track the poses of the patient via the patient tracking element, and the trackable surgical retractor or distractor; and command a robotic manipulator to move a tip of the trackable surgical retractor or distractor coupled to the manipulator from a first position, in engagement with the patient, to a second position while remaining in engagement with the patient.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 2, 2022Publication date: August 4, 2022Inventors: ANDRE NOVOMIR HLADIO, SAMANTHA MCCABE, JOSEPH ARTHUR SCHIPPER, MARK PRINGLE-RIGBY

Publication number: 20220000564Abstract: Provided are methods and systems for surgical navigation including audible cues to position a tracked surgical device relative to patient anatomy. Also provided are surgical devices, such as a cutting guide, having independent adjustability to meet target parameters. A separable paddle guide mountable to the cutting guide may be provided to position the cutting guide in a first position. A kit may be provided such as a cutting guide, paddle guide and optionally pins and a tracking element.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 6, 2019Publication date: January 6, 2022Inventors: SAMANTHA MCCABE, RICHARD TYLER FANSON, ANDRE NOVOMIR HLADIO

Publication number: 20200352657Abstract: OR computing system monitoring is described including self-monitoring and monitoring, with or without intervention, via a monitoring computing system. For a patient procedure in an OR, positions of one or more objects are tracked using sensors. Intra-operative data including pose information is communicated (e.g. in real time) to a monitoring computing system to present the intra-operative data including object positions in a GUI. Pose information may be sensor data with which to calculate a pose of an object or pre-calculated pose data. Intra-operative data may be a workflow state of the procedure to display workflow UI screens. A virtual view of the OR may be presented from pose information and geometric data for OR equipment. Working volumes of OR equipment including collision warning may be presented. OR equipment may include a localizer and/or a robot. Self-monitoring may evaluate progress in a procedure and trigger a request (e.g. to monitor).Type: ApplicationFiled: February 1, 2019Publication date: November 12, 2020Inventors: RICHARD TYLER FANSON, ANDRE NOVOMIR HLADIO, SAMANTHA McCABE

Patent number: 10716628Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein to calculate implant orientation measurements of an acetabular cup implant in hip replacement surgery, such surgery performed with minimally invasive incisions. Surgeons may obtain real-time updated implant orientation measurements that compensate for pelvic tilt of a patient, such tilt measured pre-operatively. Implant orientation measurements may be measured from the patient's anterior pelvic plane, supine coronal plane, standing coronal plane or any other reference plane that the surgeon may find useful. Also disclosed are systems, methods and devices to measure hip center of rotation and provide leg length and offset measurements in hip replacement surgery.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2016Date of Patent: July 21, 2020Assignee: INTELLIJOINT SURGICAL INC.Inventors: Samantha McCabe, Kirsten Galea, Kevin Morency, Andre Novomir Hladio, Richard Tyler Fanson
