SURGICAL GUIDE AND METHODS OF USE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240050141 titled 'SURGICAL GUIDE AND METHODS OF USE

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a surgical guide that includes a body with a first cavity for a surgical instrument and an opening. A connector is attached to the opening and can be engaged with a surgical robot. At least one insert can be placed in the first cavity and it has a second cavity for an alternate surgical instrument. The patent also discloses systems, methods, spinal constructs, implants, and surgical instruments.

  • The surgical guide has a body with a first cavity for a surgical instrument and an opening.
  • A connector is attached to the opening and can be engaged with a surgical robot.
  • At least one insert can be placed in the first cavity.
  • The insert has a second cavity for an alternate surgical instrument.
  • The patent also discloses systems, methods, spinal constructs, implants, and surgical instruments.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Assisting surgeons in performing minimally invasive surgeries.
  • Enhancing precision and accuracy in surgical procedures.
  • Facilitating the use of surgical robots in various surgical specialties.
  • Enabling the use of alternate surgical instruments during procedures.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Difficulty in accessing and manipulating surgical instruments in tight spaces.
  • Lack of precision and control in traditional surgical techniques.
  • Limitations in the use of surgical robots due to the lack of compatible tools.
  • Inefficiency and complexity in switching between different surgical instruments.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved surgical outcomes through enhanced precision and control.
  • Reduced invasiveness and trauma to patients.
  • Increased efficiency and speed in surgical procedures.
  • Expanded capabilities and versatility in surgical techniques.
