US Patent:

6371966, Apr 16, 2002

Filed:

Feb 10, 2000

Appl. No.:

09/500598

Inventors:

Robert W. Pierce - Wrentham MA
Joseph F. Keenan - Cohasset MA
Dana Michael Cote - Saugus MA
Edwin G. Lee - Burlington MA

Assignee:

Becton, Dickinson and Company - Franklin Lakes NJ

International Classification:

A61F 900

US Classification:

606166, 606107, 606167, 604 22

Abstract:

A corneal incision device of the present invention includes a surgical blade and a frame having an inner surface with a configuration that is generally in the shape of a ring-like segment of a hollow sphere. The frame has an aperture therein to allow the surgical blade to be inserted through the frame beyond the inner surface. The aperture is sized and shaped to allow movement of the surgical blade in one axis. The device may have a protuberance affixed to the inner surface of the frame adjacent to the aperture disposed to distort a surface of a patients eye when the device is selectively positioned on the eye by a practitioner. The device has provisions for holding, advancing and withdrawing the surgical blade through the aperture, disposed on the frame. The device is releasably retained on the patients eye by fixation elements disposed on the inner surface of the frame. There is a handle affixed to the frame to facilitate the practitioners manipulation of device.

Filed:

Oct 25, 1994

Appl. No.:

8/328996

Inventors:

Robert W. Pierce - Wrentham MA
Neil Jolly - Brighton MA
Richard V. Kennedy - Hyannis MA

Assignee:

Becton, Dickinson and Company - Franklin Lakes NJ

International Classification:

A61B 1732

US Classification:

606167

Abstract:

This invention relates to an improved guarded surgical scalpel having a movable guard that can be retracted to expose the blade and that can be extended to cover the sharp cutting edge of the blade. The guard is telescopically mounted inside the blade handle and includes a deflectable top wall portion that holds a detent pin. This detent pin engages a slot having upturned ends that is formed in at least one side wall of the blade handle. The detent pin is biased upwardly into the upturned ends to hold the guard in the retracted or extended position.

Assignee:

Becton Dickinson and Company - Franklin NJ

International Classification:

A61F 900

US Classification:

606166

Abstract:

The multi-plane corneal incision form of this invention includes a frame member in the shape of a segment of a hollow sphere that fits over a patient's cornea. The inner surface of the frame member includes a protuberance that distorts the cornea when the frame member is placed against the patient's cornea. The frame member also includes an aperture adjacent to the protuberance to allow a surgical blade to pass therethrough. By carefully configuring the protuberance and aligning the aperture, a physician can insert a surgical blade into the aperture and through the distorted cornea in a planar fashion that results in a multi-plane incision in the cornea once the frame member is removed from contact with the patient's cornea.

Abstract:

A control arm assembly for controlling a robot system includes a gimbal that is moveable and rotatable about three axes, and a handle assembly coupled to the gimbal. The handle assembly includes a body portion having a controller disposed therein and a first actuator disposed thereon. The first actuator is mechanically coupled to the controller via a four-bar linkage such that actuation of the first actuator causes mechanical movement of a component of the controller which is converted by the controller into an electrical signal.

Robert Pierce - Franklin MA, US

International Classification:

A61B 34/35

Abstract:

A foot pedal for a user interface of a robotic surgical system includes a frame, a lever, and a sensor system. The lever is coupled to the frame and is pivotable relative to the frame between an initial position and a fully actuated position. The sensor system has a first element associated with the frame and a second element that is associated with the lever. The sensor system is configured to determine the position of the lever relative to the frame.
