MEDICAL MANIPULATOR SYSTEM AND ADAPTER DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240252269 titled 'MEDICAL MANIPULATOR SYSTEM AND ADAPTER DEVICE
The patent application describes a medical manipulator system that prevents the mixing of a clean region and an unclean region between a surgical instrument and a drive part.
- The system includes a surgical instrument unit with a surgical instrument, a drive unit that drives the surgical instrument, and an adapter that connects the two.
- The adapter has a translatory transmission part that transmits the driving force and a drip-proof part that separates the clean and unclean regions.
- The drip-proof part contains an air chamber to prevent any contamination between the surgical instrument unit and the drive unit.
Potential Applications: - Operating rooms - Surgical centers - Medical device manufacturing
Problems Solved: - Prevents contamination during surgical procedures - Ensures the safety and effectiveness of medical manipulations
Benefits: - Improved sterilization processes - Enhanced patient safety - Increased efficiency in medical procedures
Commercial Applications: Title: "Innovative Medical Manipulator System for Enhanced Sterilization" This technology can be used in hospitals, clinics, and medical device companies to improve the safety and efficiency of surgical procedures.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the drip-proof part of the adapter prevent contamination between the clean and unclean regions?
- The drip-proof part contains an air chamber that acts as a barrier between the two regions, ensuring no mixing occurs.
2. What are the potential long-term benefits of implementing this medical manipulator system in healthcare facilities?
- The long-term benefits include improved patient outcomes, reduced risk of infections, and streamlined surgical processes.
Original Abstract Submitted
provided is a medical manipulator system that prevents a clean region and an unclean region from being mixed between a surgical instrument subjected to sterilization processing and a drive part not subjected to the sterilization processing. the medical manipulator system includes a surgical instrument unit including a surgical instrument at a front end, a drive unit that drives the surgical instrument, and an adapter that attaches the surgical instrument unit to the drive unit. the adapter includes: a translatory transmission part that transmits a driving force generated by the drive unit to the surgical instrument unit; and a drip-proof part that separates the surgical instrument unit side and the drive unit side in the translatory transmission part. the drip-proof part includes an air chamber between the surgical instrument unit side and the drive unit side in the translatory transmission part.
