Application: Physical model for aiding in surgical plan accuracy assessment (Patent ID: US20240194092A1)
The patent filed by Stryker Corp describes a physical model designed to be altered by a surgical instrument to provide feedback on a surgical plan specific to a patient's anatomy. The physical model includes a body with a physical volume and a visually distinct geometrical feature embedded within it, based on the surgical plan. The physical volume can be partially removed by the surgical instrument to expose the geometrical feature, offering visual feedback on the accuracy of the surgical plan and instrument.
The claims detail various aspects of the physical model, including the use of different material properties for the geometrical feature, the formation of the model through additive manufacturing, and the inclusion of boundary surfaces indicative of areas to avoid or surfaces for implant placement. The model can represent different anatomical structures like femurs, tibias, or vertebrae, with embedded indicators for cutting accuracy and planned resection volumes. Additionally, the model can feature paths representing planned instrument movements, with visual feedback on accuracy. The system also includes a method for utilizing the physical model and surgical instrument to provide feedback on the surgical plan's accuracy and the instrument's performance during the procedure.
