Robotic system for treating patients with treatment probe
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11877818B2) discloses a system designed for treating patients, featuring a treatment probe with an energy source for delivering energy to the tissue. The system includes a transmission with inputs and an output shaft, along with an instrument device manipulator equipped with motors and clutches to control the rotation of the treatment probe in different directions. The system allows for selective switching between motors to rotate the energy source of the treatment probe as needed, with the output shaft and inputs extending through the housing for seamless operation.
Additionally, the system may include an imaging probe, such as a cystoscope or transrectal ultrasonic probe, for enhanced visualization during the treatment process. The transmission within the system facilitates electrical communication between the instrument device manipulator and the treatment probe, enabling functions like position, translation, and rotation monitoring. Furthermore, a processor can be integrated into the system to regulate the rotational speed of the energy source and clutch timing based on a predetermined treatment plan, ensuring precise and effective patient treatment.
