DEVICES, SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR USER GUIDANCE IN SURGICAL NAVIGATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240050164 titled 'DEVICES, SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR USER GUIDANCE IN SURGICAL NAVIGATION

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a system that includes a targeting cannula, which is a medical device used for precise placement of instruments or implants. The targeting cannula has a hole that extends from one end to the other and is equipped with visual markers along its length. These visual markers can be seen in images obtained by a fluoroscope, a medical imaging device.

The targeting cannula also has a coupling portion near the second end, which allows it to be connected to an imaging device. This enables real-time visualization and guidance during procedures.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Precise placement of instruments or implants in medical procedures
  • Minimally invasive surgeries
  • Image-guided interventions

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Ensures accurate and precise targeting during medical procedures
  • Reduces the risk of complications or damage to surrounding tissues or organs
  • Provides real-time visualization and guidance, improving the efficiency and success rate of procedures

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved accuracy and precision in medical procedures
  • Minimizes the invasiveness of surgeries
  • Reduces the risk of complications and improves patient outcomes
  • Enables real-time visualization and guidance, enhancing procedural efficiency and success rates.


Original Abstract Submitted

a system may include a targeting cannula. the targeting cannula may extend from a first end to a second end and may define a hole that extends through the targeting cannula from the first end to the second end. the targeting cannula may include at least one visual marker disposed along a length of the targeting cannula. the at least one visual marker may be identifiable in an image obtained by a fluoroscope. the targeting cannula may include a coupling portion adjacent to the second end that may be configured to engage an imaging device. methods of using the system also are disclosed.
