Surgical Input Device, System and Method - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240024043 titled 'Surgical Input Device, System and Method

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a surgical input device that allows manual user input to a remote computing system. The device can be attached to a surgical object, such as a patient's bone, and includes a manually operable input wheel that can rotate infinitely. The input wheel has an optically detectable marking. The device may also function as a surgical tracker by including tracking elements.

  • The surgical input device enables manual user input to a remote computing system.
  • The device can be attached to a surgical object, like a patient's bone.
  • It includes a manually operable input wheel that can rotate infinitely.
  • The input wheel has an optically detectable marking.
  • The device may function as a surgical tracker by including tracking elements.

Potential Applications:

  • Assisting surgeons in performing surgical procedures remotely.
  • Enhancing precision and control during surgical operations.
  • Enabling real-time tracking and monitoring of surgical objects.

Problems Solved:

  • Limited manual input options in remote surgical procedures.
  • Lack of precision and control in surgical operations.
  • Difficulty in tracking and monitoring surgical objects during procedures.

Benefits:

  • Improved accuracy and efficiency in remote surgical procedures.
  • Enhanced control and precision during surgical operations.
  • Real-time tracking and monitoring of surgical objects for better outcomes.


Original Abstract Submitted

a surgical input device configured to enable manual user input to a remote computing system is described. in one example, the surgical input device comprises an interface configured to be attachable to a surgical object such as a patient bone. the surgical input device further comprises a manually operable input wheel infinitely rotatable relative to the interface. the input wheel defines an optically detectable wheel marking. in some variants, the surgical input device or surgical object may comprise one or more tracking elements and may thus function as a surgical tracker.
