SAFETY SYSTEMS FOR SMART POWERED SURGICAL STAPLING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240023960 titled 'SAFETY SYSTEMS FOR SMART POWERED SURGICAL STAPLING

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a surgical system that includes a control circuit, a surgical instrument, and a user interface. The surgical instrument consists of multiple components and a sensor. Each component of the surgical instrument has a device parameter and is designed to transmit its respective device parameter to the control circuit. The sensor in the surgical instrument is capable of detecting a tissue parameter related to a proposed function of the instrument and transmitting it to the control circuit. The control circuit is programmed to analyze the detected tissue parameter in conjunction with each device parameter based on a predefined constraint. The user interface is designed to indicate whether the surgical instrument, with its components, is suitable for performing the proposed function.

  • The patent application describes a surgical system with a control circuit, surgical instrument, and user interface.
  • The surgical instrument includes multiple components and a sensor.
  • Each component of the surgical instrument transmits its device parameter to the control circuit.
  • The sensor in the surgical instrument detects a tissue parameter associated with the proposed function.
  • The detected tissue parameter and device parameters are analyzed by the control circuit based on a predefined constraint.
  • The user interface indicates the suitability of the surgical instrument for the proposed function.

Potential Applications:

  • Minimally invasive surgeries
  • Robotic-assisted surgeries
  • Laparoscopic procedures

Problems Solved:

  • Ensuring the appropriate surgical instrument is used for a specific function
  • Improving surgical precision and accuracy
  • Enhancing patient safety during surgical procedures

Benefits:

  • Increased efficiency in surgical procedures
  • Reduced risk of errors or complications
  • Improved surgical outcomes
  • Enhanced user experience for surgeons and medical staff


Original Abstract Submitted

a surgical system includes a control circuit, a surgical instrument, and a user interface is disclosed. the surgical instrument includes a plurality of components and a sensor. each of the plurality of components of the surgical instrument includes a device parameter and is configured to transmit its respective device parameter to the control circuit. the sensor of the surgical instrument is configured to detect a tissue parameter associated with a proposed function of the surgical instrument, and transmit the detected tissue parameter to the control circuit. the control circuit is configured to analyze the detected tissue parameter in cooperation with each respective device parameter based on a system-defined constraint. the user interface is configured to indicate whether the surgical instrument comprising the plurality of components is appropriate to perform the proposed function.
