Medical robot system for supporting an organ in a position suitable for a medical treatment
First Claim
1. A medical robot system comprising:
- a first robot arm;
a medical manipulator, detachably connected to said first robot arm, to support an organ at a predetermined position in a patient body, said medical manipulator including;
a first arm portion provided on a proximal side of said medical manipulator,a second arm portion, provided on a distal side of said medical manipulator relative to said first arm portion, to support the organ, said second arm portion includinga hollow first member, anda hollow second member that is concentric with the first member such that walls of the second member are slidably accommodated with walls of the first member, anda bendable connection portion disposed on a distal end of said first arm portion so as to connect said first arm portion with said first member of said second arm portion, an entirety of said first and second members of said second arm portion being disposed distally of said connection portion, and a directional orientation of said second arm portion being adjustable relative to said first arm portion via said connection portion;
a control unit to adjust a longitudinal extension of said second arm portion within the organ, and to adjust the directional orientation of said second arm portion relative to said first arm portion; and

Abstract
Provided is a medical robot system which includes a medical manipulator capable of handling organs such as a uterine of different shapes and sizes. The medical robot system includes a robot arm, a medical manipulator which is detachably provided in the robot arm and supports an organ to a predetermined position, and a controller unit operable by an operator to control the robot arm and the medical manipulator. The medical manipulator also includes a first arm portion in a base side thereof, a second arm portion in a front side thereof for supporting the organ, and a connection portion connecting the first arm portion with the second arm portion. The control unit adjusts a relative direction of the second arm portion and the first arm portion and a length of the second arm portion in a telescopic manner thereby being suitable for organs of various shapes and sizes.
