View page
US Patent:
20120209289, Aug 16, 2012
Filed:
Feb 15, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/397578
Inventors:
Grant Duque - San Jose CA, US
Todd Murphy - Allentown PA, US
William Burbank - Sandy Hook CT, US
Assignee:
Intuitive Surgical Operations, Inc. - Sunnyvale CA
International Classification:
A61B 19/00
US Classification:
606130
Abstract:
Sealing assemblies and methods are disclosed for sealing a surgical instrument having an internal drive shaft subject to lateral displacement. A sealing assembly includes a rigid portion shaped to interface with an instrument shaft of the surgical instrument. A laterally oriented slot is open at a radially perimeter location and configured to receive an o-ring seal via the perimeter location. Apertures are disposed on opposing sides of the slot and open to the slot. The apertures are configured to receive the drive shaft there through and are larger than the drive shaft to accommodate lateral displacement of the drive shaft. The slot includes opposing internal sides spaced to interface with opposed axial surfaces of the o-ring seal. The seal inhibits axial transmission of an insufflated gas and/or bodily fluids while accommodating lateral displacement of the drive shaft.

US Patent:
20120209314, Aug 16, 2012
Filed:
Jan 13, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/350502
Inventors:
David Weir - Emerald Hills CA, US
Grant Duque - San Jose CA, US
Kevin Durant - Alameda CA, US
Patrick Flanagan - Santa Clara CA, US
Maggie Nixon - San Jose CA, US
David Robinson - Mountain View CA, US
John Zabinski - Fremont CA, US
Assignee:
Intuitive Surgical Operations, Inc. - Sunnyvale CA
International Classification:
A61B 17/28
US Classification:
606205
Abstract:
End effectors with closing mechanisms, and related tools and methods are disclosed. The disclosed end effectors may be particularly beneficial when used for minimally invasive surgery. An example surgical tool comprises a first and second jaw movable between a closed grasped or clamped configuration and an open configuration. The tool further comprises a soft grip mode for grasping the tissue at a first force during which a separation parameter between the jaws is measured, and a therapeutic clamping mode in which the jaws clamp on the body tissue at a force greater than the grasping force. The methods comprise grasping the body tissue between jaw members, measuring the separation parameter between jaws, indicating on a user interface the separation parameter for comparison to a desired separation parameter, and then releasing the body tissue for repositioning or therapeutically clamping the body tissue in response to the separation parameter indication.

Surgical Instrument With Stowing Knife Blade

View page
US Patent:
20130123822, May 16, 2013
Filed:
Oct 26, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/662382
Inventors:
William Burbank - Sandy Hook CT, US
Grant Duque - San Jose CA, US
Patrick Flanagan - Santa Clara CA, US
Assignee:
Intuitive Surgical Operations, Inc. - Sunnyvale CA
International Classification:
A61B 17/3211
US Classification:
606170
Abstract:
A surgical instrument with a stowing knife blade includes an elongated shaft, an end effector coupled to the shaft and including two opposed jaws, a housing included in one of the jaws, a first member mounted in the housing and movable distally, a knife pivotally coupled with the first member, and a second member. The knife is configured to cut when advanced distally. The first and second members are moved distally at the same rate during a cutting motion of the knife and the second member blocks a rotation of the knife relative to the first member during the cutting motion of the knife. After moving through the first distance, relative movement between the first and second members occurs so as to permit or induce the previously blocked rotation of the knife so that the knife can be stowed.

US Patent:
20120165828, Jun 28, 2012
Filed:
Dec 22, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/976604
Inventors:
Grant Duque - San Jose CA, US
Assignee:
Intuitive Surgical Operations, Inc. - Sunnyvale CA
International Classification:
A61B 19/00
US Classification:
606130
Abstract:
Minimally invasive robotic surgical instruments and related methods are disclosed. A surgical instrument includes an interface fitting that couples a proximal chassis of the instrument with a holding fixture of a robotic manipulator. A securing feature releasably prevents relative axial sliding between the interface fitting and the chassis. In response to binding of the surgical instrument within a minimally invasive surgical site so as to inhibit removal of the surgical instrument from the surgical site and inhibit disengagement of the interface fitting from the holding fixture, the securing feature can be released to allow relative axial sliding between the interface fitting and the chassis, thereby allowing the holding fixture and the interface fitting to be separated from the rest of the surgical instrument and repositioning of the robotic manipulator out of the way.

International Classification:
A61B 17/062
A61B 34/30
A61B 17/28
Abstract:
A medical device includes a clevis, a first jaw, and a second jaw. The first jaw includes a first proximal gripping portion and a first distal gripping portion, and the first proximal gripping portion includes a first needle alignment portion. The second jaw is coupled to the clevis and includes a second proximal gripping portion and a second distal gripping portion, and the second proximal gripping portion includes a second needle alignment portion. The first and second needle alignment portions are located opposite each other when in the closed orientation. The first and second needle alignment portions define a clamp path when in the closed orientation within which the curved portion of the needle is received when the second jaw is in the open orientation. The first and second needle alignment portions are configured to rotate the needle when moving to the closed orientation.
