    摘要: A modular robotic surgical system comprising: one or more tool-receiver units arranged as separate units, each tool-receiver unit operable to move a first elongate surgical tool received therein; a base comprising one or more motors, the base operable to move a second elongate surgical tool attached to the base or received therein, the base serving as a mounting for the one or more tool-receiver units; wherein each of the tool-receiver units is independently and interchangeably attachable to the base via a mechanical coupling interface which transfers one or more of: driving force for driving movement of the first elongate surgical tool received within the unit; electrical power supply to one or more components of the unit which drive movement of the first elongate surgical tool received within the unit; and data for controlling movement of the first elongate surgical tool received within the unit.

    摘要: Disclosed is a self-cleaning catheter system for fluid passage including a catheter, configured to be implanted in a body cavity of a subject and including at least one aperture fluidly coupling the catheter to the outside thereof, a cleaning unit configured for motion in the catheter such as to at least one of mechanically prevent, remove and mitigate occlusion in the at least one aperture, and an implantable controller. The cleaning unit is functionally associated with the controller, which is configured to (i) receive at least one signal indicative of a state of occlusion in the catheter, and (ii) provide an indication of the state of occlusion at least if the at least one signal indicates a blockage in the catheter and/or (iii) activate the cleaning unit if the at least one signal indicates a blockage of the catheter.

    摘要: A robotic device for manipulation of an arrangement of a plurality of elongate surgical tools, comprising: a first unit and a second unit, each unit configured to receive at least one elongate surgical tool of the arrangement, where an elongate surgical tool received by the first unit is different from an elongate surgical tool received by the second unit; each unit comprising a driving assembly and motors configured for actuation of the driving assembly to move the at least one elongate surgical tool; and a coupler attached to the first unit and to the second unit, the coupler configured so that movement of the two or more portions relative to each other allows movement of at least one of the first and second units relative to the other unit, while in each of the first and second units the elongate surgical tool remains in operable engagement with the driving assembly.
