An instrument support device for a manipulator of a robotic surgical system, comprising: an arm having first, second and third arm elements; an interface for connecting the first arm element to the manipulator via a rotational joint; a torsional joint connecting the first and second arm elements; a first rotational joint connecting the second and third arm elements; a sliding joint connecting the third arm element to an instrument mounting for receiving a surgical instrument with a longitudinal axis; and a controller with drives for moving the arm elements and instrument mounting. The instrument mounting is connected to the third arm element via a second rotational joint, the rotational axes of the first and second rotational joints lie parallel to each other, and the longitudinal axis is guidable through a pivot point on the rotational axis of the torsional joint in an extension from the second arm element, without constraint.

Instrument support device for a manipulator of a robotic surgical system

A device for robot-assisted surgery, comprising at least one non-sterile manipulator arm () having a coupling unit () with drive elements. The device further has an instrument unit () which comprises a surgical instrument () and a sterile sterile unit () for coupling the surgical instrument () to the drive elements of the coupling unit (). The coupling unit () comprises a translatory drive element () for generating a translatory drive movement and a rotatory drive element () for generating a rotatory drive movement. The sterile unit () has a translationally driven element () couplable to the translatory drive element () and a rotationally driven element () couplable to the rotatory drive element (). The device has a sterile lock () which is capable of being coupled to the coupling unit () and to the sterile unit ().

Device for robot-assisted surgery

An operating device () for a robot-assisted surgery system () comprising a manually actuatable operating element () as well as an interface () for attaching the operating device () to a holding unit (). When attached to the holding unit (), the operating element () is rotatable relative to the interface () about three axes of rotation () running orthogonally to each other, these three axes of rotation () intersecting in a common point of intersection ().

Operating device for a robot-assisted surgical system

The invention describes a retaining and positioning device of a surgical instrument and/or of an endoscope for minimally invasive surgery, more particularly for use within a surgical robot system, including a first axis of rotation, around which a retaining element can be rotated. The first axis of rotation always intersects with a longitudinal axis of at least one surgical instrument and/or of an endoscope in a pivotal point by means of a thrust drive being attached to the retaining element, to which thrust drive an instrument drive unit can be rotatably arranged around the pivotal point. The instrument drive unit has a telescopic arrangement via which the surgical instrument can be moved in a translational manner along the longitudinal axis thereof by means of a guide arrangement in the body in such a manner that the longitudinal axis of the surgical instrument is variably adjustable relative to the telescopic arrangement.
