20130274596 | DUAL-MODE STEREO IMAGING SYSTEM FOR TRACKING AND CONTROL IN SURGICAL AND INTERVENTIONAL PROCEDURES - System and method for tracking and control in medical procedures. The system including a device that deploys fluorescent material on at least one of an organ under surgery and a surgical tool, a visual light source, a fluorescent light source corresponding to an excitation wavelength of the fluorescent material, an image acquisition and control element that controls the visual light source and the fluorescent light source, and captures and digitizes at least one of resulting visual images and fluorescent images, and an image-based tracking module that applies image processing to the visual and fluorescent images, the image processing detecting fluorescent markers on at least one of the organ and the surgical tool. | 10-17-2013 |
20140066966 | ENDOPYLORIC TOOL AND METHOD TO TREAT HYPERTROPIC PYLORIC STENOSIS - A low profile gastrointestinal dilation catheter for use in infants includes a catheter tube, a dilation balloon, and at least one anchoring device. The dilation balloon is disposed over the catheter tube and is configured to transition between a compressed state and an expanded state. The at least one anchoring device is configured to prevent migration of the dilation balloon during a transition of the dilation balloon from the compressed state to the expanded state. A method to treat infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (IHPS) is also provided. | 03-06-2014 |
20140222023 | HYBRID CONTROL SURGICAL ROBOTIC SYSTEM - The present disclosure describes a method and system for performing robot-assisted surgical procedures. The system includes a robotic arm system assembly, an end effector assembly, and a hybrid control mechanism for robotic surgery. The robotic arm is a lightweight, bedside robot with a large range of motion, which can be easily manipulated to position endoscope and surgical instruments. The control console is mounted at the distal end of the robotic arm to enable robotic arm to follow operators arm movement, provide physical support, filter out hand tremor, and constrain motion. A universal adapter is also described as an interface to connect traditional laparoscopic tools to the robotic arm. | 08-07-2014 |

20130274772 | APPARATUSES AND METHODS FOR ANASTOMOSIS - Apparatuses and methods for performing anastomosis of distal and proximal vessels. An exemplary apparatus includes a distal anastomosis includes a distal hub and a distal engagement segment. The distal hub is configured to detachably connect to a distal catheter. The distal engagement segment is connected to the distal hub and includes one or more distal arm segments that are configured to engage an inner wall of the distal vessel. | 10-17-2013 |
20150145966 | 3D CORRECTED IMAGING - A system and method for corrected imaging including an optical camera that captures at least one optical image of an area of interest, a depth sensor that captures at least one depth map of the area of interest, and circuitry that correlates depth information of the at least one depth map to the at least one optical image to generate a depth image, corrects the at least one optical image by applying a model to address alteration in the respective at least one optical image, the model using information from the depth image, and outputs the corrected at least one optical image for display in 2D and/or as a 3D surface. | 05-28-2015 |
