USPTO Grants Patent to Titan Medical for Robotic Surgical GUI

The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has granted Titan Medical a patent for its graphical user interface (GUI) for a robotic surgical system to track instrument movements, part of the company’s robotic-assisted surgery portfolio.

The patent covers technology that generates a three-dimensional boundary for instruments in the surgical workspace.

The technology can also enable surgeons to limit instrument movement based on a two-dimensional projection during surgery combined with pre-operative imaging.
