DEVICES, SYSTEMS, AND METHODS FACILITATING FLUID-ASSISTED SURGICAL TISSUE TREATMENT - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240016511 titled 'DEVICES, SYSTEMS, AND METHODS FACILITATING FLUID-ASSISTED SURGICAL TISSUE TREATMENT

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a surgical system that includes a surgical end effector and a fluid and communication assembly. The surgical end effector can engage a surgical handpiece and has electronics and a proximal hub with a connection port. It also defines a fluid flow path. The fluid and communication assembly consists of a cable with a fluid line and a communication line, and a connection plug at the distal end of the cable. The connection plug can engage the connection port to establish fluid communication between the fluid line and the fluid flow path, as well as electrical communication between the communication line and the electronics.

  • The surgical system includes a surgical end effector and a fluid and communication assembly.
  • The surgical end effector can engage a surgical handpiece and has electronics and a proximal hub with a connection port.
  • The surgical end effector defines a fluid flow path.
  • The fluid and communication assembly consists of a cable with a fluid line and a communication line.
  • The fluid and communication assembly also includes a connection plug at the distal end of the cable.
  • The connection plug can engage the connection port to establish fluid communication between the fluid line and the fluid flow path.
  • The connection plug can also establish electrical communication between the communication line and the electronics.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Minimally invasive surgery
  • Robotic surgery
  • Laparoscopic surgery

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Improved fluid and communication integration in surgical systems
  • Enhanced control and precision in surgical procedures

Benefits of this technology:

  • Simplified surgical system design
  • Efficient fluid and communication management
  • Enhanced surgical instrument functionality


Original Abstract Submitted

a surgical system includes a surgical end effector and a fluid and communication assembly. the surgical end effector is configured to releasably engage a surgical handpiece, includes electronics and a proximal hub having a connection port disposed thereon, and defines a fluid flow path. the fluid and communication assembly includes a cable and a connection plug disposed at a distal end portion of the cable. the cable includes a fluid line and a communication line. the connection plug is configured to releasably engage the connection port to thereby establish fluid communication between the fluid line and the fluid flow path and to thereby establish electrical communication between the communication line and the electronics.
