A gripper for holding surgical tools is provided. The gripper incorporates a concentric and adjustable shutter mechanism that allows the gripper to hold tools of multiple different circumferences and tools that do not have perfectly circular circumferences. In the context of a centrally coordinated robotic system and, in particular, a surgical robotic system, the disclosed gripper allows the robotic system to deploy a large variety of surgical tools without regard to their circumference or precise circumferential dimensions. A robotic system using the disclosed gripper is able to deploy a wide variety of tools while always keeping the tools centered in the work area due to the concentric shutter design.

A mobile bilateral robotic surgery system is provided. The system may be optimized for robotic spinal surgery. The system comprises a mobile cart configured to be deployable under a surgical table, and particular a spinal surgery table. The mobile cart does not need to be affixed to the floor or the surgical table. The cart comprises multiple robotic arms that can be folded beside or into the cart so as to allow for deployment under the surgical table. The robotic arms may be relatively short and light compared to known systems and are deployed to either side of the patient. This allows for the highly accurate performance of a wide range of surgical procedures. The mobile cart further comprises a central control unit that facilitates the system knowing the position of the robotic arms. The system further optionally comprises a robotic navigation capability that augments the abilities of the system in locating features of a patient's anatomy and tools being used in a surgical procedure.

Bilateral surgical robotic system

The present invention relates, in some embodiments thereof, to devices and methods for protecting a patient's upper body portion from collision with medical instruments, such as an X-ray imaging system and/or an X-ray radiation protection apparatus. In some embodiments, the invention provides a head protection device comprising a support platform for supporting a patient's head; and a head protection shield connected to the support platform. In some embodiments, the shield is pivotally connected to the support platform to allow a relative pivotal movement between the support platform and the shield. In some embodiments, the device includes an adjuster unit allowing to vertically adjust the distance between the head protector shield and the support platform, thereby allowing to fit various head sizes.
