SURGICAL SENSOR ANCHOR SYSTEM
Surgical systems for use in surgical procedures utilizing robotic devices. The surgical system having one or more components for housing a sensor or one or more tools for anchor or sensor delivery. The surgical system may include a surgical sensor anchor and/or a surgical sensor anchor delivery tool. A method of performing a robotically assisted surgical procedure, comprising using a surgical sensor anchor during a surgical procedure which utilizes a robot to track movement of at least one portion of a body structure undergoing a surgical procedure or to track movement of a body structure near a surgical site.
1 . An anchor delivery tool comprising:
a surgical anchor insertion tool comprising:
a main body shaft comprising a first end configured to engage with a secondary shaft and a second end;
a handle extending from the second end of the main body shaft; and
a surgical anchor engaging member located on the secondary shaft and configured to receive and secure a surgical sensor anchor, and
a horizontal spool attached to at least a portion of the main body shaft of the surgical anchor insertion tool and comprising a first flanged member, a second flanged member, and a hub separating the first flanged member and the second flanged member.
2 . The anchor delivery tool of claim 1 , wherein the hub is of a sufficient size to allow electrical wires of a sensor or the surgical anchor to be wrapped or unwrapped.
3 . The anchor delivery tool of claim 1 , wherein the first flanged member of the horizontal spool is configured to store one or more of the surgical sensor anchor or a surgical sensor connector.
4 . The anchor delivery tool of claim 3 , wherein the first flanged member comprises a sensor anchor cradle with prongs configured to maintain the surgical sensor anchor in place when secured thereto and a hood.
5 . The anchor delivery tool of claim 3 , wherein the first flanged member comprises a sensor connector cradle with prongs configured to maintain a sensor connector in place when secured thereto.
6 . The anchor delivery tool of claim 1 , wherein the horizontal spool comprises a central opening sufficient in diameter to allow portions of the surgical anchor insertion tool to pass through.
7 . The anchor delivery tool of claim 1 , wherein the handle is integrally formed with the main body shaft.
8 . The anchor delivery tool of claim 1 , wherein the handle is configured to be removably coupled to the second end of the main body shaft.
9 . The anchor delivery tool of claim 1 , wherein the handle is a T-shaped handle.
10 . The anchor delivery tool of claim 1 , wherein the secondary shaft is integrally formed with the surgical anchor engaging member.
11 . The anchor delivery tool of claim 1 , wherein the surgical anchor engaging member is configured to removably connect to the secondary shaft.
