Abstract

A document discusses, among other things, systems and methods for robotically assisted implantation of an implant in a patient. A system includes an external positioning unit configured to engage an elongate member of the implant, and a control console communicatively coupled to the external positioning unit. The control console may have a user interface that enables a user to input motion controlinstructions. The control console may generate a motion control signal, according to a specific motion control instruction, to control the external positioning unit to propel the implant into a target implant site. The system may be used to robotically control the delivery and positing of a cochlear implant during a hearing-preservation cochlear implant surgery.

Description

Technical field [0001] This patent application claims the benefits of priority of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 458,846 filed on February 14, 2017 and U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 573,487 filed on October 17, 2017, the entire contents of which are incorporated by reference Incorporated into this article. [0002] This document relates generally to medical systems, and more particularly, to systems, devices, and methods for robotically controlled delivery and positioning of implants. Background technique [0003] The cochlea is the auditory part of the inner ear. It includes a spiral, hollow, and conical bone cavity in which sound waves propagate from the base to the apex of the cochlea. The sound waves vibrate the perilymph, and the perilymph moves the hair cells in the organ of Corti, thereby converting the vibrations into electrical signals, which are sent to the cochlear nerve. Hair cells and nerves in the basal or outer region of the spiral cochlea...
