Title: **Innovations in Surgical Technology by Michael Dale Dozeman**

Introduction

Michael Dale Dozeman, an accomplished inventor located in Portage, MI, has made significant contributions to the field of surgical technology. With a total of 14 patents under his name, his work primarily focuses on enhancing surgical systems and methodologies through innovative solutions.

Latest Patents

Among his most recent patents are groundbreaking techniques for patient-specific milling path generation. These innovations involve surgical systems, computer-implemented methods, and software programs designed to create precise milling paths for bones. The process includes obtaining a virtual model of the bone and defining a resection volume relative to it. Section planes are systematically arranged along a reference guide, intersecting both the resection volume and the reference guide. Each section plane generates a section path that fits within the resection volume, while transition segments are created to connect these paths, culminating in an efficient milling path.

Additionally, Dozeman has developed systems and methods for controlling the movement of surgical tools along predefined paths. This includes robotic surgical systems where an input from a force/torque sensor conveys manual user forces to the tool. By calculating a tangential component of force based on this input, he enables an effective feed rate, allowing the tool to advance along the path. His systems also include virtual constraints that simulate tool dynamics to ensure precision and safety during surgeries.
