Laparoscopic insertion tool

Abstract

Devices used during minimally invasive surgery (sometimes called minimal access surgery or laparoscopic surgery) for implantation and fixation of various cameras, for example, to the human body. An insertable device including a housing divided into two sections, a camera, a sensor, at least two LED lights, a lens flush located above the camera lens to clean a lens of the camera, and a motor for moving the camera in relation to the housing with pan and tilt capabilities. An insertion tool for inserting devices including a cannula, a top housing, and a bottom, wherein the bottom couples with the insertable device. A capture and fixation device for capturing and fixing an insertable device to an internal body cavity wall, the device includes a cannula, at least one slideable clamp device, and a retractable loop. Once the insertable device is positioned, the retractable loop fixes the insertable device to the body cavity wall.

1 . An insertion tool for inserting devices during a laparoscopic procedure, the tool comprising:
 a cannula, wherein the cannula encloses cables from an inserted device;   a top housing, wherein the top housing encloses motors or printed circuit boards for driving the motors for the insertable device,   and a bottom, wherein the bottom couples with the insertable device.   
     
     
         2 . The insertion tool as recited in  claim 1  wherein the insertable device includes a camera. 
     
     
         3 . The insertion tool as recited in  claim 1  wherein the cannula has a first channel enclosing the cables from the insertable device and a second channel for insertion of a laparoscopic instrument during surgery. 
     
     
         4 . The insertion tool as recited in  claim 1  wherein the bottom of the insertion tool couples with the insertable device magnetically.
