Electrosurgical connection unit for surgical robot arm
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11882989B2) discloses an electrosurgical connection unit designed for a surgical robot arm. The unit includes an input port connected to an electrosurgical generator, which can output activation signals to the generator to drive an electrosurgical instrument. It also features one or more activation switch units that, when activated, signal the generator to use a specific waveform for the driving electrosurgical signal. Additionally, a control unit with a communications module allows for remote control of the activation switch units via a data communications network.
Furthermore, the patent details various configurations and functionalities of the electrosurgical connection unit, such as the coupling of wires for signal transmission, the use of multiple activation switch units for different waveforms, and the incorporation of measurement units to ensure proper operation. The unit also includes features like isolation devices, capacitance emulation units, and alternating current coupling circuits to enhance performance and safety. The control unit is capable of generating tokens with waveform information and transmitting them to external devices, ensuring precise waveform selection. Overall, the patent highlights the innovative design and capabilities of the electrosurgical connection unit, which can be integrated into a surgical robot arm for enhanced surgical procedures.
