    摘要: Systems and processes for facilitating the removal of cataract material with a robotically assisted tool with laser, irrigation capabilities, aspiration capabilities. Tool guidance systems that make use of vision technologies, including optical coherence tomography (OCT), white light imaging, and structured light imaging. Emulsification patterns optimized to minimize risk to the patient and reduce procedure time. Robotic tools with articulation capabilities that allow for precise control during capsulorhexis and emulsification procedures. Robotic instrument drive mechanisms combined with pumps, flow meters, and valves regulate and control irrigation and aspiration functionalities during robotic ophthalmologic procedures.

    摘要: Techniques for facilitating the removal of material from an anatomical structure with a robotic system are discussed herein. For example, the robotic system can include a first robotic component configured to control movement of a first device and a second robotic component configured to control movement of a second device. The first device and the second device can be controlled within a chamber of the anatomical structure to remove material from the chamber. For instance, the first device can be controlled to emit energy to break up the material into pieces and the second device can be controlled to remove the pieces from the chamber. In some cases, the first device can be controlled to gradually vary a parameter associated with the first device between a first value and a second value.

    摘要: Devices and methods for use in laser-assisted surgery, particularly cataract surgery. Specifically, the use of an optical fiber with a proximal and distal end, wherein the distal end has a non-orthogonal angle with the diameter of the optical fiber, to create an off-axis steam bubble for cutting and removing tissue in an operative region. Where the optical fiber is bent, rotating the fiber creates a circular cutting path for the steam bubble, allowing access to tissues that may normally be blocked by obstructions and obstacles.
