  • Multi-function mounting interface for an image-guided robotic system and quick release interventional toolset
    Patent number: 10512511
    Abstract: Tool mount adaptors for interfacing a medical instrument with a medical insertion device are provided. The tool mount adaptor includes a collar for holding a medical instrument wherein the tool mount adaptor is releasably attachable to the medical insertion device. Cannula holder assemblies for a medical insertion device are also provided. The cannula holder assembly includes: (a) a cannula track; and (b) a cannula carriage slideably mounted on the cannula track comprising a cannula holder mount and a demobilizer. Medical insertion devices comprising the tool mount adaptors and/or cannula holder assemblies are also provided together with methods of using the medical insertion devices in diagnostic and/or therapeutic applications.

  • Automated in-bore MR guided robotic diagnostic and therapeutic system
    Patent number: 9259271
    Abstract: A medical insertion device which may be used with or installed within an imaging system, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The medical insertion device can generally be used to retain, position and effect insertion of a medical instrument, for example a biopsy device or an ablation treatment device. The device can generally provide linear and/or angular degrees of freedom for positioning of the medical instrument prior to an insertion of the medical instrument. The medical insertion device includes a mounting arm, an interface connected to the mounting arm for interfacing with a medical instrument, a mechanism for movement of the medical instrument or a part of the medical instrument in an insertion direction, a carriage connected to a distal end of the mounting arm, and a pivot connection between the carriage and the distal end of the mounting arm to permit pitch or yaw of the mounting arm.
