System And Method For Virtually Tracking A Surgical Tool On A Movable Display

View page
US Patent:
20130072787, Mar 21, 2013
Filed:
Sep 14, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/618915
Inventors:
Dan Wallace - Santa Cruz CA, US
Greg Stahler - San Jose CA, US
Jaime Waydo - Campbell CA, US
Aaron Grogan - Scotts Valley CA, US
Assignee:
Translucent Medical, Inc. - Scotts Valley CA
International Classification:
A61B 6/12
A61B 6/00
US Classification:
600424
Abstract:
The invention comprises a virtual window system that creates a visual coherency between the image of the patient and his or her anatomy and the patient by aligning the image of the patient anatomy on the display to the patient and presenting the image to the user that feels is if the user is looking directly into the patient through the display. The invention is designed to also display medical devices, such as a minimally invasive tool. The system substantially unifies the coordinate systems of the patient, the medical device, the display, and the physician's hands. The invention creates a visual coherency between the motion of the medical device in the image and the motion of the physician's hands manipulating the device. This invention also creates a visual coherency between the motion of the image in the display and display.

US Patent:
20130035537, Feb 7, 2013
Filed:
Dec 2, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/310596
Inventors:
Daniel T. Wallace - Santa Cruz CA, US
Dale Bergman - Cupertino CA, US
Ruchi Choksi - San Jose CA, US
Aaron Grogan - Scotts Valley CA, US
International Classification:
A61M 25/092
A61M 36/12
US Classification:
600 8, 604 9501, 606 33, 604500
Abstract:
A method of manipulating an elongate member in at least two degrees of freedom includes holding an elongate member between two rotary members that define respective rotational axes, the elongate member having a flexible proximal portion, a distal rigid needle attached to the proximal portion, and an operative element for delivering energy, the needle having a distal port, actuating at least one of the rotary members in a rotational direction about its rotational axis to generate a corresponding linear motion of the elongate member along a longitudinal axis of the elongate member, and actuating at least one of the rotary members in a linear direction along its rotational axis to generate a corresponding rotational motion of the elongate member about the longitudinal axis of the elongate member.

System And Method For Displaying Anatomy And Devices On A Movable Display

View page
US Patent:
20210393160, Dec 23, 2021
Filed:
May 28, 2021
Appl. No.:
17/334628
Inventors:
- Redwood City CA, US
Gregory STAHLER - San Jose CA, US
Aaron GROGAN - Scotts Valley CA, US
International Classification:
A61B 5/06
A61B 5/00
A61B 90/00
Abstract:
An image display system is provided comprised of a virtual window system that creates a visual coherency between the patient's anatomical images and the actual patient by aligning the image on the display to the patient and then presenting the image to the user in a way that feels as if the user is looking directly into the patient through the display. The image shown within the image display system is dependent upon the position of the image display apparatus and the position of the user so that the display orientation of the image may be biased slightly toward the user to improve ergonomics and usability.

Prosthetic Heart Valve Packaging And Attachment Assembly

US Patent:
20210361404, Nov 25, 2021
Filed:
May 11, 2021
Appl. No.:
17/317377
Inventors:
- Santa Clara CA, US
Jonathan Oakden - Santa Cruz CA, US
Spencer Noe - San Miguel CA, US
Aaron Grogan - Scotts Valley CA, US
David Wang - Santa Clara CA, US
Assignee:
Cephea Valve Technologies, Inc. - Santa Clara CA
International Classification:
A61F 2/00
A61F 2/24
Abstract:
A system for heart valve repair includes a packaging assembly for storing the replacement heart valve. The packaging assembly includes a valve support having a base for holding the replacement heart valve, a ring positioned within the valve support and configured to fit around a circumference of the replacement heart valve, and a retention mechanism. The retention mechanism includes a cap and plurality of sutures configured to be attached to the cap and to the replacement heart. The packaging assembly having a locked configuration in which the ring and the valve support are locked together and the sutures tension the replacement heart valve. The packaging assembly is designed to hold and transport a replacement heart valve and fits within a shipment jar.

US Patent:
20210038386, Feb 11, 2021
Filed:
Oct 28, 2020
Appl. No.:
17/082554
Inventors:
- Santa Clara CA, US
Dan Wallace - Santa Cruz CA, US
Aaron Grogan - Scotts Valley CA, US
Crissly Crisostomo - Campbell CA, US
Assignee:
Cephea Valve Technologies, Inc. - Santa Clara CA
International Classification:
A61F 2/24
Abstract:
A delivery device includes a central elongate structure including an annular member at the distal end, a sheath, a plurality of tethers extending through the central elongate structure, a handle, and a control on the handle. The handle is connected to the elongate structure, the sheath, and the plurality of tethers. The control is configured to move the sheath proximally and distally over the central elongate structure. The annular member includes a plurality of pockets extending radially therearound. Each tether includes a feature on a distal end thereof configured to fit within a pocket of the plurality of pockets to hold the tethers in place.

Abstract:
Systems and methods for delivery a medical device to a heart valve annulus are disclosed. A method of delivering a medical device to a heart valve annulus includes: (1) aligning a first imaging sensor such that a view of the first imaging sensor is along a primary plane of the heart valve annulus; (2) aligning a second imaging sensor such that a view of the second imaging sensor is along a longitudinal axis of the heart valve annulus; (3) attaching a delivery system holding the medical device to a delivery arm; (4) adjusting the delivery arm to set an angle of the delivery system perpendicular to the primary plane using images from the first imaging sensor; (5) adjusting the delivery arm to center the delivery device in the heart valve annulus using images from the second imaging sensor; and (6) deploying the medical device into the heart valve annulus.
