Treatment instrument and high-voltage connectors for robotic surgical system

This describes a method for treating tissue using a robotic surgical system. A specialized instrument, attached to the robot's arm, has electrodes housed within a protective tip. When the instrument is positioned against the target tissue, the outer housing retracts to expose the electrodes, which then deliver a high-voltage electrical treatment. The high-voltage power is supplied to the instrument through connectors on the robotic arm.

Why it matters: Advancements in surgical robot precision and autonomous control since 2023 could make the delicate electrode deployment more reliable. Miniaturization of high-voltage power supplies may also simplify integration.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedHigh-voltage connectors, precision retraction, robotic integration
