SURGICAL ROBOTIC ACCESS SYSTEM

摘要

The surgical robotic access system provides access for robotic instruments and/or actuators including the introduction, operation and withdrawal of such robotic manipulators into a body cavity without permitting the escape of pressurized fluid or gas. The surgical robotic access system also provides a multi-faceted range of movement without touching or effecting pressure on the opening in the patient's body cavity.

主权项

1. A surgical robotic access system providing instrument access into a patient's body, the surgical robotic access system comprising:
a surgical robotic access platform having a proximal portion disposed externally to a patient's body and a distal portion positioned within a patient's body, the proximal portion of the surgical robotic access platform including a flexible seal; and a robotic insertion tube having a proximal end disposed away from the proximal portion of the surgical robotic access platform and having a distal end embedded in the flexible seal of the surgical robotic access platform, the robotic insertion tube having a lumen extending between the proximal end of the robotic insertion tube to the distal end of the robotic insertion tube through which a surgical robotic manipulator is insertable therethrough and through the flexible seal.
