Abstract: A cannula may include a cannula bowl having an opening to receive an instrument configured to be advanced through the cannula, and a cannula tube extending distally from the cannula bowl. The cannula tube may have a proximal end opening, a distal end opening disposed at an opposite end of the cannula from the proximal end opening, and lateral wall defining a passage extending from the proximal end opening to the distal end opening. The lateral wall can have outer dimensions defining a waisted portion with smaller outer dimensions than a region disposed proximally or distally to the waisted portion along a length of the cannula tube.

Abstract: A cannula may include a bowl portion comprising a first opening and a second opening, and an insertion tube extending from the bowl portion. The insertion tube defines a passage extending from the second opening and terminating in a distal end opening. The passage is configured to receive an instrument to be advanced through the cannula. The insertion tube has a transparent portion extending proximally from the distal end opening, and a strengthened portion extending proximally from the transparent portion.

Abstract: Techniques for automated rotation of a needle in a computer-assisted system include an end effector having a drive mechanism configured to be coupled to a curved needle and configured to rotationally actuate the curved needle along an arcuate path and a control unit coupled to the drive mechanism. The control unit is configured to, in response to receiving a first input, cause the drive mechanism to rotationally actuate the curved needle by a first preset rotation amount along the arcuate path, and, in response to receiving a second input, cause the drive mechanism to rotationally actuate the curved needle by a second preset rotation amount along the arcuate path.

Abstract: A medical instrument includes a shaft, a wrist, a mechanical structure, a first cable, and a second cable. The wrist is coupled to the distal end portion of the shaft. The mechanical structure is coupled to a proximal end portion of the shaft and includes a capstan assembly. The capstan assembly includes a first cable drum having a first radius and a second cable drum having a second, different radius. The first cable is routed along the shaft. A distal end portion of the first cable is coupled to the wrist and a proximal end portion of the first cable is wrapped about the first cable drum. The second cable is routed along the shaft. A distal end portion of the second cable is coupled to the wrist and a proximal end portion of the second cable is wrapped about the second cable drum.

Abstract: A canula may comprise a mounting feature configured to couple the cannula to a manipulator arm of a medical system and a tube extending distally from the mounting feature. The tube may comprise a proximal end opening, a distal end opening disposed at an opposite end of the tube from the proximal end opening, a lateral wall defining a passage extending from the proximal end opening to the distal end opening, the passage configured to receive a medical instrument for advancement through the tube, and a waisted outer surface portion defined along a length of the lateral wall. In a coupled state of the cannula to the manipulator arm and in response to manipulation of the cannula by the manipulator arm, the cannula has a remote center of motion located along the waisted outer surface portion

Abstract: In accordance with at least one embodiment of the present disclosure, a system includes an imaging instrument with a shaft including a proximal end, a distal end, and a lens at a distal end portion of the shaft. The system also includes a collar at a proximal end portion of the shaft. A cleaning device coupled to the imaging instrument includes a tubular member sized to receive the shaft of the imaging instrument. The cleaning device also includes a latching element coupled to the tubular member and configured to couple to the collar to retain the tubular member on the shaft of the imaging instrument and maintain a relative rotational relationship between the tubular member and the shaft of the imaging instrument. Devices and methods relate to cleaning devices for imaging instruments.
