Patent attributes
Systems, methods, and devices are disclosed for holding devices for securing a surgical robotic device and a patient anatomy positioner to a support (e.g., in an operating room). A holding device comprises a carriage, an anchor component fixed to the carriage for attaching to the support, a patient stabilization connector extending from the anchor component for attaching to the patient positioner, and an elongate holder slidably mounted on the carriage for attaching to the robotic device, wherein, when the anchor component is attached to the support, the carriage and the patient stabilization connector are immobilized. The holding devices may also include a hydraulic cylinder interposed between the elongate holder and carriage and/or a horizontal linkage interposed between the elongate holder and the robotic device.
