An oral insert includes a plurality of fluid nozzles, a plurality of manifolds, and an attachment mechanism configured to be releasably attach with a handle. Each of the manifolds is associated with a corresponding subset of the plurality of fluid nozzles. The attachment mechanism includes a manifold connector having a plurality of manifold openings arranged in a circle. Each of the plurality of manifold openings is associated with one of plurality of manifolds.

Systems and methods for personalized oral care

Described herein are systems and methods for providing personalized oral care. A system for oral care comprises an oral insert. The oral insert is sized and shaped according to a user's oral cavity, and has a plurality of fluid nozzles and an effluence conduit to channel fluid out of the user's oral cavity. Pressurized fluid provided through the nozzles are directed to, for example, the interproximal spaces between the user's teeth. In some variations, a system comprises an oral insert and an elastomeric substrate that is attached to the oral insert. In some variations, the elastomeric substrate comprises a textured surface vibrates and/or mechanically agitates and/or translates along the surface of the user's teeth. In some variations, a system for oral care comprises a microbiome collection chamber. Some variations comprise dental shim devices that are used for acquiring oral structure data and alignment between the upper and lower arches.

A medical system includes a mobile cart configured to support one or more medical instruments; an illumination source mounted on the mobile cart, the illumination source configured to direct light in a direction of a path of the mobile cart during movement relative to a ground surface; and a control system operably coupled to the illumination source and the mobile cart. The control system is configured to in response to the illuminating, storing a threshold height in a memory; and automatically control the movement of the cart based on the threshold height.

Surgical system with obstacle indication system

User-initiated break-away clutching includes a robotic system having a joint, a brake or drive unit coupled to the joint, and a control system coupled with the brake or drive unit. The control system is configured to determine a first manual effort applied to the joint; inhibit, using the brake or drive unit, manual articulation of the joint in response to the first manual effort being below an articulation threshold; facilitate, using the brake or drive unit, the manual articulation of the joint in response to the first manual effort exceeding the articulation threshold; and inhibit, using the brake or drive unit, further manual articulation of the joint in response to a determination that a speed of the manual articulation of the joint is below a speed threshold.

An oral insert includes a plurality of manifolds and a plurality of fluid nozzles. A manifold switch is coupled to the plurality of manifolds. The manifold switch is configured to select which of the plurality manifolds is to receive fluid from a fluid source.

Cleaning device for teeth

Described herein are systems and methods for providing personalized oral irrigation. One variation of a system for personalized oral irrigation comprises a fluid reservoir and a customized oral insert in fluid communication with the fluid reservoir. The oral insert comprises an arrangement of fluid openings positioned based on the individual oral or dental structures of a user's teeth to provide a customized fluid flow over the user's teeth. Also described herein are methods for generating an arrangement of fluid openings in a customized oral insert.

Systems and methods for personalized oral irrigation

Medical and/or robotic devices, systems and methods can provide an indicator associated with each manipulator assembly of a multi-arm telerobotic or telesurgical system. The exemplary indicator comprises a multi-color light emitting diode (LED) mounted to a manipulator moving an associated surgical instrument, allowing the indicator to display any of a wide variety of signals. The invention may provide an additional user interface to facilitate communications between the telesurgical system and/or members of a telesurgical team.

A surgical drape for a patient side cart of a teleoperated surgical system may comprise a body sized and shaped to cover at least a portion of an arm or main column of the patient side cart, and an attachment device feature connected to the body, the attachment device feature being configured to install the surgical drape to the arm or main column so as to cover at least a portion of the arm or main column with the surgical drape. In an installed position of the surgical drape on the arm or the main column, the attachment device feature is positioned at a location in sensing proximity of a sensor of the patient side cart.

Surgical drape and systems including surgical drape and attachment sensor

Techniques for operating a kinematic structure by manual motion of a link coupled to the kinematic structure include a system having a kinematic structure configured to support an instrument and a processor. The processor is configured to place the system in a clutching mode; transition the system from the clutching mode to a set-up mode in response to detecting a joint operation of the kinematic structure; while in the set-up mode, determine an input displacement of a link from an initial positional relationship relative to a portion of the kinematic structure to a displaced positional relationship relative to the portion of the kinematic structure; and while in the set-up mode and in response to the determined input displacement, drive the kinematic structure so that the link returns toward the initial positional relationship relative to the portion of the kinematic structure.

Techniques for operating a kinematic structure by manual motion of link coupled to the kinematic structure

A method includes moving a stabilization device comprising a stabilization surface relative to a base of a surgical cart, wherein the moving comprises moving the stabilization device from a retracted position in which the stabilization surface is spaced from the ground surface to a deployed position in which the stabilization surface is in contact with the ground surface, and wherein the moving comprises overcoming a biasing force biasing the stabilization device toward the retracted position.

Wheeled cart with vibration reduction device, and related systems and methods

A patient side cart for a teleoperated surgical system may comprise a column extending from a base, the column having a first end connected to the base and a second end opposite the first end. The patient side cart may further include a surgical instrument manipulator arm coupled proximate the second end of the column, and an obstacle indication system comprising an illumination source mounted on the patient side cart at a height above a location the surgical instrument manipulator arm is coupled to the second end of the column, the height being measured in a direction the column extends from the base.

Robotic and/or surgical devices, systems, and methods include a robotic device. The robotic device includes a manipulator, a drive unit coupled to the manipulator, and a processor coupled with the drive unit. The processor is configured determine that a cannula is mounted to the manipulator and inhibit, using the drive unit, manual articulation of the manipulator in response to determining that the cannula is mounted to the manipulator. In some embodiments, the robotic device further includes a linkage. The processor is further configured to determine a manual effort against the manipulator; inhibit, using the drive unit, the manual articulation of the linkage in response to the manual effort being below an articulation threshold; and facilitate, using the drive unit and in response to not determining that the cannula is mounted to the manipulator, the manual articulation of the linkage in response to the manual effort exceeding the articulation threshold.
