Patent for computer-assisted shape measurements in surgery
Summary
The USPTO has granted patent US12582330B2 to Kaliber Labs Inc. for systems and methods to assist surgical procedures using computer-assisted shape measurements from video streams. The patent covers intraoperative measurements and overlays for procedures like arthroscopic surgery.
What changed
The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has issued patent US12582330B2 to Kaliber Labs Inc. This patent covers novel systems and methods for computer-assisted shape measurements during surgical procedures, particularly arthroscopic surgeries. The technology involves receiving video streams from surgical imaging devices, processing coordinate data to calculate measurements (length, area, volume), and overlaying these measurements onto the video display for intraoperative use by surgeons.
This patent grant signifies a new intellectual property right for Kaliber Labs Inc. While not a regulatory rule imposing obligations on other entities, it establishes exclusive rights for the patented technology. Companies operating in the medical device or surgical technology sectors, particularly those developing computer-assisted surgery tools, should be aware of this patent to avoid potential infringement.

Abstract
Various embodiments of the invention provide systems and methods to assist or guide an arthroscopic surgery (e.g., surgery of the shoulder, knee, hip or spine) or other surgical procedure by providing measurements intraoperatively. The systems and methods comprise steps of receiving a video stream from an arthroscopic imaging device; receiving one or more sets of coordinates of one or more points, paths, or area; calculating a length, a surface area, or a volume measurement based at least in part on the one or more sets of coordinates; overlaying the selected one or more sets of coordinates and the measurement on the video stream or on an expanded view of a region of surgery; and displaying the overlay on one or more display devices intraoperatively so as to be used by an operator during the arthroscopic procedure.
