摘要:
A surgical assembly for use with and for selective connection to a robotic arm includes an electromechanical instrument and an instrument drive unit. The instrument drive unit includes a motor and a feedback assembly. The motor is configured to effect rotation of the electromechanical instrument. The feedback assembly includes control circuitry and first and second annular members. The control circuitry is configured to sense a change in a condition of the motor. The first annular member has a surface feature projecting therefrom. The second annular member is disposed adjacent the first annular member and has a first surface feature projecting therefrom, circumferentially aligned with the surface feature of the first annular member. Upon a threshold amount of rotation of the first annular member, the surface feature of the first annular member abuts the first surface feature of the second annular member to change the condition of the motor.

A surgical mounting device may detachably couple to a patient access device to maintain alignment between a surgical instrument and the access device as instruments are interchangeably inserted and removed from the access device. The mounting device may include arms that pivot between a closed configuration in which the arms grip the access device inserted therebetween and an open configuration in which arm are spaced further apart from each other than in the closed configuration. A drive member may transition the arms to the closed configuration when the patient access device is inserted between the arms in the open configuration and pressed against the drive member.
摘要:
An endoscopic surgical assembly houses at least one force transmitting member that is connected to a surgical attachment supported on the endoscopic surgical assembly. The endoscopic surgical assembly includes an elongate shaft having a proximal end and a distal end configured for connection to a surgical attachment. At least one longitudinal cavity is formed in an outer surface of the elongate shaft and extends between the proximal and distal ends of the elongate shaft. The at least one longitudinal cavity is configured for disposal of the at least one force transmitting member therein such that the at least one force transmitting member is translatable relative to the elongate shaft.
