Patent number: 11653986Abstract: A robotic surgery system includes a control unit assembly that supports and operates one or more robotic tools and a mechanical arm assembly that movably supports the control unit assembly in space. The mechanical arm assembly includes a boom assembly with one or more boom arms rotatably coupled to each other via one or more joints and having one or more actuators. An elevating linkage assembly is coupled to the boom assembly and has an actuator operable to allow vertical movement of the control unit assembly in a substantially weightless manner. Yaw and pitch control assemblies are interposed between the elevating linkage assembly and the control unit assembly and have actuators operable to allow movement of the control unit assembly in yaw and pitch. The one or more actuators are actuatable to allow movement of the control unit assembly in space upon actuation of one or more user interfaces of the control unit assembly.Type: GrantFiled: February 9, 2021Date of Patent: May 23, 2023Assignee: Titan Medical Inc.Inventors: Aki Hannu Einari Laakso, Hans Christian Pflaumer, Abraham Allen Shipley, Nathan Wagner Ginsberg, Yahia Laouar, Cara Lee Coad, Michael James Ross, John Michael Burton, Jr.

Publication number: 20230040816Abstract: An electrosurgical device including an elongated body extending from a proximal portion to a distal portion and defining an internal passageway configured to convey tissue from the distal portion to the proximal portion; a coring electrode at the distal portion of the elongated body, where the coring electrode is positioned at an opening to the internal passageway, and where the coring electrode is configured to deliver electromagnetic energy to adjacent tissue to cut a volume of the tissue as the tissue is conveyed into the internal passageway; and a powered conveyance mechanism positioned within the internal passageway configured to further cut the volume of the tissue and convey the volume of the tissue proximally within the internal passageway.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 3, 2021Publication date: February 9, 2023Inventors: Xiaoming Cheng, Darren L. Davis, Amy Bradley, Yeung Chow, Anjali Dhiman, Roger D. Greeley, Bradley W. Jacobsen, Yahia Laouar, Prakash Manley, Martin Masson, Molly Ann Megna, Katherine M. Puckett, Wade Schutte

Publication number: 20220313340Abstract: A system for altering an energizable instrument for performing a procedure on the subject. The instrument may be tracked during a procedure and a controller may alter operation thereof during the selected procedure. The energizable instrument may have energy provided to a working end to heat a working end to a selected temperature for various procedures such as cutting, coagulation, vaporization, or the like.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 28, 2022Publication date: October 6, 2022Inventors: Brad JACOBSEN, Amy BRADLEY, Xiaoming CHENG, Yeung CHOW, Anjali DHIMAN, Yahia LAOUAR, Prakash MANLEY, Martin MASSON, Molly Ann MEGNA, Katherine M.
