    摘要: An optical sensor system for detecting a tissue type in a surgical procedure is described. The optical sensor system includes an excitation source configured to selectively emit excitation light, a probe comprising at least one fiber coupled to the excitation source and configured to illuminate target tissue with excitation light and collect light from target tissue, a compliance member coupled to the at least one fiber, the compliance member being at least partially translucent and configured to deform in response to engagement by a surgical tool, an indicator element configured to emit light in response to receiving an indicator signal, an optical detection module coupled to the at least one fiber and configured to generate a signal based on the collected light, and a controller configured to determine a tissue characteristic based on the signal and generate the indicator signal based on the determined tissue characteristic.

    摘要: A surgical cutting tool for use with a handpiece having a motor is disclosed. The surgical cutting tool comprises a nose tube defining a lumen between proximal and distal ends. A bushing is coupled to the nose tube at the distal end and is disposed at least partially within the lumen. The bushing defines a second lumen configured to receive a region of a driveshaft that extends past the distal end of the nose tube. A bur defines a recess sized to receive at least a portion of the bushing within the recess. The bur is configured to be coupled to the driveshaft within the recess.

    摘要: A tracker, a surgical tracking system, and a method for operating the tracker are provided. The tracker comprises an interface configured to attach the tracker to a surgical object that is to be tracked. The tracker further comprises circuitry comprising a detector configured to detect electromagnetic radiation, wherein the circuitry is configured to generate a trigger signal upon detection of a change of intensity of electromagnetic radiation by the detector. The circuitry further comprises a plurality of emitters configured to emit electromagnetic radiation, wherein the circuitry is configured to control the plurality of emitters to emit electromagnetic radiation responsive to the trigger signal.
