    摘要: The invention relates to a system for guiding a surgical tool (200) held by a user relative to at least one target axis (T) defined in a coordinate system of a patient's spine, comprising: (i) a robotic device (300) comprising: —a base (301), —a guiding device (303) configured for constraining the tool to a guiding axis (G), —a compact motorized actuation unit (304) movable relative to the base (301), coupled to the guiding device (303) for adjusting a position and orientation of said guiding device relative to the target axis, —a support unit (305) connected to the base (301), comprising at least one element designed to make contact with the spine or a region of the patient's body adjacent to the spine so as to provide a partial mechanical link between the guiding device and the spine, (ii) a passive articulated lockable holding arm (400) supporting the base (301) of the robotic device, (iii) a tracking unit (500) configured to determine in real time the pose of the guiding axis with respect to the coordinate system of the patient's spine, (iv) a control unit configured to: (a) determine the pose of the guiding axis with respect to the target axis, (b) compute a working space of the robotic device for said determined pose, (c) compute at least one indicator representing the capability of the actuation unit to bring the guiding axis in alignment with the target axis based on the computed working space and the pose of the guiding device, (v) a user interface (600) coupled to the control unit, configured for displaying a representation of the guiding axis (G) relative to the target axis (T), wherein the control unit is further configured to control the actuation unit to bring the guiding axis into alignment with the target axis.

    摘要: Mounting systems for connection to a surgical device, kits including those and the surgical devices and methods of use are disclosed. The mounting system comprising; an elongate body having a proximal end and a distal end; an outer sleeve being provided towards the distal end of the elongate body, the outer sleeve defining an internal bore; an inner element with a distal end facing the internal bore, the inner element providing one or more arms that extend from the distal end of the inner element into the bore, the one or more arms being spaced from the outer sleeve to define a gap between a side of one or more of the arms and the outer sleeve, the inner element at least partially defining a second bore; a locking element slidably provided in the second bore, the locking element having a first state where the locking element is provided in a first position adjacent to a distal portion of one or more of the arms and a second state where the locking element is retracted from the first position adjacent to a distal portion of one or more of the arms.

    摘要: Systems and methods are disclosed for computer aided surgery (CAS), comprising an augmented reality (AR) system configured to display augmented reality information, a position tracking system configured to track positions of objects, an instrument coupled to a tracker detectable by the position tracking system, and a controller configured to: display augmented reality information comprising an indicator of a cut on the bone that would be produced by a current orientation of the instrument and an indicator of a predetermined target plane for the cut, determine, as the instrument is moved, when the current orientation of the instrument is aligned with the predetermined target plane, and based on the determined alignment, display augmented reality information comprising an indicator representing that the current orientation of the instrument is aligned with the predetermined target plane. In some embodiments, the controller is further configured to display augmented reality information comprising an indicator of the axis of the bone.

    摘要: A surgical component connecting device, kit, and method are disclosed. The surgical component connective device includes an outer body, a body element, and a support element. The support element is slidably mounted relative to the body element. Two or more surgical component engaging elements provided towards the distal end of the body element, and at least one of the surgical component engaging elements is operably connected to the support element. The two or more surgical component engaging elements have a first state and a second state. The separation of the two or more surgical component engaging elements is greater in the second state than in the first state.
