  • Publication number: 20230248453
    Abstract: A surgical robotic system includes a robotic arm cart for supporting a robotic arm, and a docking station configured to be secured to an operating room floor around a surgical table. The robotic arm cart has a plurality of legs having wheels for facilitating movement of the robotic arm cart along the floor of the operating room. The robotic arm cart is configured to transition from an enlarged footprint state to a reduced footprint state. When the robotic arm cart is in the reduced footprint state, the robotic arm cart may be connected to the docking station to provide stability to the robotic arm cart.

  • Patent number: 11464614
    Abstract: A mesh deployment device having separate mesh deployment and actuation units is provided. A mesh deployment device includes an actuation unit and a mesh deployment unit configured to be releasably secured to the actuation unit. When the mesh deployment unit is secured to the actuation unit, a first actuation of the actuation unit moves the mesh deployment unit from an expanded condition to a collapsed condition and a second actuation of the actuation unit moves the mesh deployment unit from the collapsed condition to the expanded condition. The mesh deployment device may further include a mesh releasably secured to the mesh deployment unit. A third actuation of the actuation unit may release the mesh from the mesh deployment unit. Also provided is a kit including multiple mesh deployment units.

  • Publication number: 20220273387
    Abstract: A drape for covering a robotic surgical system includes a proximal section joined to and continuous with a distal section. The distal section is fabricated from a relatively strong material and is configured to cover the more dynamic portions of the robotic surgical system, and the proximal section is fabricated from a light-permeable material and is configured to cover the more static portions of the robotic surgical system.

  • Publication number: 20220151713
    Abstract: A surgical cart for supporting a robotic arm includes a base, a plurality of casters coupled to the base, and first and second rods rotatably supported by the base. The first rod is operably coupled to a first caster and configured to rotate in a first direction to one of lock or unlock the first caster. The second rod is coupled to a second caster and operably coupled to the first rod such that rotation of the first rod in the first direction causes the second rod to rotate in a second direction to one of lock or unlock the second caster.

  • Publication number: 20200390511
    Abstract: A drape management assembly for a robotic surgical system includes a clip having a base portion configured for selective connection to the robotic surgical system and a grasping portion extending from the base portion. The base portion and the grasping portion may define a cavity therebetween. The base portion and the grasping portion may be arranged to retain a quantity of a surgical drape in the cavity to minimize an excess quantity of a surgical drape sheathed over a robotic arm of the robotic surgical system.

  • Publication number: 20200188050
    Abstract: A drape for covering a robotic surgical system includes a body having a first end portion and a second end portion. The second end portion has a proximal opening. The body includes a cavity extending between the first end portion and the second end portion thereof. The cavity is dimensioned for receipt of a portion of the robotic surgical system via the proximal opening of the second end portion of the body. The drape includes a deployment handle coupled to the second end portion of the body at a position distal of the proximal opening.
