Abstract: A rod bender includes a first handle arm and a second handle arm coupled to a first pivot point. A body portion of the rod bender is coupled to the first handle arm at a second pivot point and the second handle arm is coupled to the body portion at a third pivot point. The body portion also includes first and second distal arms configured with first and second rolling elements and navigation arrays coupled to distal ends of the first and second distal arms. A barrel is provided on the body portion which is positioned on a center area of the body portion. The navigation arrays have optical markers that are tracked by camera. A three-dimensional reconstruction of a rod bent by the rod bender is created using tracked position of the optical markers during bending.

Abstract: Systems providing robotic bending used to bend a surgical rod are disclosed. Such systems may include a processor and memory coupled with the processor. The memory includes computer readable program code so that when the computer readable program code is executed by the processor, the processor performs operations including providing a set of transformation points corresponding to respective attachment implants, generating a bend plan for the surgical rod based on the set of transformation points, and generating an image output to render the set of transformation points and the bend plan on a display. Related methods and computer program products are also discussed.

Abstract: Robotic rod benders are disclosed including a motor housing and a mechanical housing coupled with the motor housing. The motor housing may include first and second rod feeding/rotating motors, a brake motor, a bending motor, first and second rod feeding/rotating transmission inputs, a brake transmission input, and a bending transmission input. The mechanical housing may include a rod feeding/rotating subassembly, a brake subassembly, a bending subassembly, first and second rod feeding/rotating transmission outputs, a brake transmission output, and a bending transmission output. Separate motor and mechanical housings are also disclosed.
