A liquid delivery system cap device is provided. In some embodiments, an example cap device includes a body defining a cavity configured to receive at least a portion of a liquid delivery device, a first sensor configured to output a first sensor signal indicative of a plunger of the liquid delivery device, a second sensor configured to output a second sensor signal indicative of a position, and a processor configured to detect a plunger of the liquid delivery device based on a variation in the sensor signal of the first sensor and to determine a corresponding position based on a sensor signal output by the second sensor.

Liquid delivery cap devices, systems, and methods

Connector assemblies for connecting a robotic arm with a medical end effector are disclosed. An example apparatus for connecting a robotic arm with a medical end effector may include a connector housing. An actuation mechanism may be disposed within the connector housing. The actuation mechanism may include a plurality of linkage members and a gear assembly coupled to the linkage members. Each of the plurality of linkage members may be configured to shift between a locked configuration and an unlocked configuration. At least one of the plurality of linkage members may include a first linkage member having an end region. A roller member may be disposed adjacent to the end region of the first linkage member. An actuator may be coupled to the actuation mechanism.

Connector assemblies for connecting a robotic arm with a medical end effector

Disclosed herein is a wearable drug delivery device including a container filled at least partially with a drug including at least one of a PCSK9 (Proprotein Convertase Subtilisin/Kexin Type 9) specific antibody, a granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), a sclerostin antibody, or a calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) antibody. The wearable drug delivery device may include a needle and an insertion mechanism configured to insert the needle into a patient. A fluid pathway connector may define a sterile fluid flowpath between the container and the insertion mechanism. Optionally, a cannula initially disposed about the needle may be included. The cannula may be retained in the patient at an injection site created by the needle after the needle is withdrawn from the patient. Methods of assembly and operation are also provided.

Drug delivery device, method of manufacture, and method of use

Devices, assemblies, systems, and methods are disclosed for stabilizing a cart. An example cart is a surgical cart having a robotic arm thereon. A stabilizer system may be part of or used with the cart to stabilize the cart at a location. The stabilizer system may include a stabilizer and an actuator. The stabilizer may have a foot and a biaser configured to bias the foot to a retracted position and contribute to an amount of force applied to a floor supporting the cart when the foot is in a deployed position. The actuator acts on the stabilizer to overcome a bias force biasing the stabilizer to the retracted position and cause feet of the stabilizer to contact the floor. Once the feet of the stabilizer contact the floor, a spring of the biaser causes the foot to apply a predetermined force amount to the floor.

Cart stabilization devices, systems, and methods

Disclosed herein are ratchet retracting handles and related methods for automatically retracting a stylet during insertion of a bone anchor.

Ratchet retracting handles and methods of using the same

An insertion mechanism for a drug pump includes an insertion mechanism housing; a sleeve; a rotational biasing member initially held in an energized state; a retraction biasing member and a hub connected to a proximal end of a needle, wherein the retraction biasing member is held initially in an energized state between the hub and the sleeve. The needle is inserted into a target tissue by the rotational biasing member and interaction between the hub and housing. Retraction of the needle is caused by decompressing or de-energizing of the retraction biasing member. A drug delivery pump includes an activation mechanism, a drive mechanism, a sterile access connection, and the insertion mechanism. Assembly and operation methods are provided.

Rotationally biased insertion mechanism for a drug delivery pump

Assemblies, systems, and methods are directed at a neuromonitoring bone drill bit. The assembly may include a surgical bone drill bit, a neuromonitoring connection in electrical communication with the drill bit, and a shield extending over a distal end of the drill bit. The shield may be configured to withdraw proximally as the drill bit is advanced into a subject's bone. The assembly may be connected to a surgical drill and used in a surgical spinal procedure. In operation, the assembly may be advanced to a subject's bone at a surgical site and the drill bit may rotate into the subject's bone. In response, the shield may engage the bone and the drill bit may be advanced with respect to the shield. The shield may electrically insulate tissue from electrical current passing through the drill bit as it is inserted at the surgical site.

Assemblies, systems, and methods for a neuromonitoring drill bit

An example cutting apparatus includes a scalpel and a housing defining a scalpel guide. A handle is coupled to a proximal end of the scalpel. A blade holder at a distal end of the scalpel. The scalpel has a length longer than a length of the housing. The scalpel guide constrains the movement path of the scalpel.

Cutting apparatus

A laser or ultrasonic instrument is used to remove tissue during a surgery, such as to form one or more pilot holes in a vertebra or a window in bone. Where a laser is used, interrogative laser pulses can be used to obtain information, such as detecting depth or tissue type.

Robotic surgery

A pen cap for a medication delivery pen includes a piston-style detector mechanism. The piston-style detector mechanism includes at least an inner shell having first open end through which the medication delivery pen can be inserted, a second end opposite the first end, a sidewall defined by an outer surface and an opposing inner surface, and a passageway extending from the outer surface to the inner surface. The sidewall extends between the first end and the second end thereby defining a pen-receiving cavity there between. The piston-style detector mechanism further includes at least one switch and a translatable shaft at least partially disposed in the passage. The translatable shaft includes a body that extends at least from a pen-interfacing portion in the pen-receiving cavity to a switch-interfacing portion thereof. The translatable shaft is oriented to travel from a first location to at least a second location during capping of a medical delivery pen into the inner shell to toggle the at least one switch.

Therapy devices, methods, and systems including a piston-style detector

A liquid delivery system cap device is provided. In some embodiments, an example cap device includes a body defining a cavity configured to receive at least a portion of a liquid delivery device, a first sensor configured to output a first sensor signal indicative of a plunger of the liquid delivery device, and a processor configured to detect a plunger of the liquid delivery device based on a variation in the sensor signal of the first sensor.
