TOOLS FOR POSITIONING WORKPIECES WITH SURGICAL ROBOTS

A tool (42) for impacting a prosthesis (44, P) into a surgical site is described. The tool (42) comprises a driver assembly (80) extending along an axis (AX); an interface (84) operatively attached to the driver assembly (80); and a compliance mechanism (130). The compliance mechanism (130) has a pr...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A tool (42) for impacting a prosthesis (44, P) into a surgical site is described. The tool (42) comprises a driver assembly (80) extending along an axis (AX); an interface (84) operatively attached to the driver assembly (80); and a compliance mechanism (130). The compliance mechanism (130) has a proximal body (132) coupled to the interface (84) and a distal body (134) adapted to attach to the prosthesis (44, P). The proximal body (132) supports the distal body (134) for movement about a remote point (RP) along the axis (AX) to guide the prosthesis (44, P) into alignment with the surgical site in response to force applied to the driver assembly (80) along the axis (AX).
