Abstract: A support apparatus for a medical device includes a first sleeve, a second sleeve, and a flexible contact member. The first sleeve is configured to be coupled to a first tool member of an end effector assembly that includes the first tool member, a second tool member, and a clevis, in which the first and second tool members are each rotatably coupled to the clevis such that second tool member can be moved relative to the first tool member between a first and a second orientation. The second sleeve is configured to be coupled to the second tool member. The flexible contact member is coupled to the first sleeve and the second sleeve, and is configured be moved between a collapsed configuration when the second tool member is in the first orientation and an expanded configuration when the second tool member is in the second orientation.

Abstract: Flexible elongate devices include an elongate body having an articulable body portion and an axial support structure within the articulable body portion. The axial support structure can include links longitudinally stacked on one another, where each of the links includes a body defining a plurality of pull wire openings, an outwardly protruding hinge, and a socket. The socket is circumferentially offset relative to the hinge and configured to receive the hinge of one of the links therein. The flexible elongate device can include a distal member disposed at a distal end of the axial support structure, a proximal member disposed at a proximal end of the axial support structure, and a braid sheath surrounding the axial support structure within the articulable body portion, where ends of the braid sheath are coupled to the distal and proximal members.

Abstract: A surgical instrument includes a reusable instrument portion and a disposable tip assembly. The disposable tip assembly includes an end effector assembly that in turn includes an end effector. The disposable tip assembly also includes a locking tip cover that locks the disposable tip assembly to a lock interface element of a tip interface of the reusable instrument portion. To facilitate mounting the disposable tip assembly on the tip interface of the reusable instrument portion, the disposable tip assembly includes a first quick connect/disconnect element and the tip interface includes a second quick connect/disconnect element. The second quick connect/disconnect element is coupled to a tendon. The tendon is also coupled to an actuator assembly that provides forces that push and pull (push/pull) the tendon.

Abstract: A system may comprise a processor and a memory having computer readable instructions stored thereon. The computer readable instructions, when executed by the processor, may cause the system to receive anatomic image data for an anatomic area and segment the anatomic image data to identify an anatomic passageway in the anatomic area. The computer readable instructions may also cause the system to identify a gap between a first segment and a second segment of the segmented anatomic image data, generate a bridge segment to bridge the gap, and generate an anatomic model of a diseased lung including the first segment, the second segment and the bridge segment.

Abstract: A system comprises a processor and a memory having computer readable instructions stored thereon. The computer readable instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the system to generate a current endoscopic video image of a surgical environment, capture an image from the current endoscopic video image, display the current endoscopic video image and the captured image in a common display, and perform an action with the captured image in response to a user input.

Abstract: A drape includes a first drape portion configured to receive a manipulator arm of a surgical system and a pocket coupled to a distal portion of the first drape portion. The pocket is configured to receive a manipulator of the surgical system. The pocket includes a flexible membrane positionable between an output of the manipulator and an input of a surgical instrument mountable to the manipulator. In some embodiments, the flexible membrane is located at a distal end of the pocket. In some embodiments, the flexible membrane is configured to allow an actuating force to be transmitted from the output of the manipulator to the input of the surgical instrument. In some embodiments, the pocket provides a sterile barrier between the manipulator and the surgical instrument. In some embodiments, the drape further includes a rotatable seal configured to couple a proximal opening of the pocket to the first drape portion.

Abstract: A method for displaying guidance information during an image-guided surgical procedure comprises receiving, by one or more hardware processors, data from a tracking system associated with an elongate device comprising a flexible body and calculating, by the one or more hardware processors, at least one condition along a length of the flexible body based on the data. The method further comprises determining, by the one or more hardware processors, supplemental guidance information based on the at least one condition and augmenting, by the one or more hardware processors, one or more images with the supplemental guidance information to produce one or more augmented images. The method further comprises displaying the one or more augmented images on a display device at a surgeon console.

Abstract: A viewpoint optimization system is configured to determine a particular operation performed during an operating session by a computer-assisted operation system, the particular operation performed with respect to a body while an imaging device included within the computer-assisted operation system provides, for display on a display device during the operating session, imagery of the body from a first viewpoint; define, based on the particular operation, a second viewpoint for the imaging device that is more optimal for performing the particular operation than the first viewpoint; and direct the display device to switch, based on the defining of the second viewpoint, from displaying the imagery of the body from the first viewpoint to displaying the imagery of the body from the second viewpoint.

Abstract: An apparatus of the present technology generally includes an elongated shaft having a proximal portion and a distal portion, a first elongated channel extending from the proximal portion to the distal portion, a second channel extending from the proximal portion to the distal portion, and a slidable imaging probe disposed within the first elongated channel. The apparatus can be manually, robotically, and/or teleoperably steerable and is configured for delivery to a subject and/or positioning within a subject near or at a target location. Once the steerable apparatus has been successfully positioned at the target location, the imaging probe can be repositioned relative to the first elongated channel, thereby opening a working lumen. The working lumen and second channel are configured for removal of material from the target location within the subject by applying simultaneous activities including suction, irrigation, and/or deliver a tool to the target location.
