CONTROL INTERFACES FOR MEDICAL DEVICES

Abstract: a control system for a medical device includes: a first interface configured to control a position of the medical device; a second interface installed in a first portion of the handle grip and configured to control an end-effector orientation of an end-effector of the medical device; and a third interface installed in a second portion of the handle grip and configured to control a function of the end-effector. the first interface includes a handle grip coupled to a base member. the base member is coupled to a device attachment unit configured to couple to the medical device. the second interface is communicatively coupled to a sensor assembly that monitors movement detected at the second interface. the third interface is communicatively coupled to the sensor assembly to monitor movement detected at the third interface.
