Moose, Thanks much for the confirmatory post! I also searched them and came up empty. But Medtronic sure does have their hands in a lot of stuff! Just not seeing any Single Port Robotic Surgery development efforts on display in their patent portfolio.
Someone has to be doing it for them. Somewhere.
If they had patents for single port prior to 2014, they would not have been pursuing and reporting on the multi-armed Hugo with such vigor all this time.
Message in reply to: These are medironic patents. Search through them and let me know. I checked 2014-2018. Could be patents before that.
I found only one that is recent: 10/26/17 / #20170304617 Stimulation probe for robotic and laparoscopic surgery
