Laparoscopic insertable device
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.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modified1 . An insertable device during laparoscopic procedure comprising:
a housing divided into two sections, a first housing and a second housing; a camera, the camera enclosed in the first housing wherein the first housing is moveable; 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, wherein the camera maintains the same horizon regardless of the camera position.
2 . The insertable device as recited in claim 1 wherein upon insertion of the device into a body cavity, the first housing and the second housing are in line forming a cylinder.
3 . The insertable device as recited in claim 1 wherein after insertion of the insertable device into a body cavity, the first housing can move up, down, right or left as needed.
4 . The insertable device as recited in claim 1 further comprising cables, wherein the cables exit a back of the insertable device, the cables providing signal and image information to an external unit.Cited by (0)
