Application: System and method for surgical tool insertion using multiaxis force and moment feedback (Patent ID: US20240206997A1)
The patent filed by Globus Medical Inc. describes devices, systems, and methods for detecting unexpected movement of a surgical instrument during robot-assisted surgical procedures. The system measures forces and torques experienced by the instrument to determine if they are within an acceptable range, notifying the user of any unexpected movement. The method involves applying an insertion force to the instrument, monitoring forces with strain gauges, comparing them to expected ranges, and providing notifications if forces fall outside the range. Additionally, bone movement caused by the instrument is monitored, and adjustments are made to offset this movement automatically.
The patent also details a surgical robot system that includes a robot base, arm, and end-effector with a guide tube for the surgical instrument. Strain gauges on the instrument measure forces, and the system alerts users if forces are outside the expected range. The system can monitor bone movement caused by the instrument and adjust the guide tube accordingly. The system is capable of detecting skiving forces, using a neural network to calculate deflection, and indicating when the instrument has reached maximum depth. Overall, the patent focuses on enhancing the safety and accuracy of robot-assisted surgical procedures by detecting and addressing unexpected movements of surgical instruments.
