Patient-matched apparatus for use in robotic assisted surgical procedures and methods for using the same

This invention describes a custom-made guide that perfectly fits a specific part of a patient's bone, often for spine surgery. This guide has a precisely placed hole to help a surgeon drill into the bone, creating a spot for a special marker that a robotic system then uses to navigate and perform surgery accurately.

Why it matters: The workflow for generating patient-specific surgical guides from medical imaging has seen continued automation and cost reduction since 2023. This makes the custom manufacturing required for this apparatus more economically viable for widespread use with robotic systems.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedPatient-specific 3D printing, robotic system integration
