A retractor, distractor, and camera system with the camera system and/or distractor configured to provide releasable attachment of the camera system to the distractor, and also provide for rotation of the camera assembly relative to the distractor to allow for adjusting the aim of the camera viewing axis to obtain an image of the surgical workspace established by the retractor.

Retractor, distractor, and camera system for cervical procedures

A cannula suitable for use in minimally invasive surgery is improved with a highly polished and very smooth luminal wall and/or LED's or other light sources focused at particular angles relative to the axis of the cannula. The devices provide for improved lighting and/or reduced lighting requirements for cannulas used for minimally invasive surgery.

Lighted cannula system

A cannula system with a proximally mounted camera assembly, sensors or sensor pair component(s), radially fixed to the camera assembly and an image control system operable to rotate image data obtained from the camera for display on a display screen, to maintain an image in an orientation preferred by a surgeon even as the camera assembly is rotated radially about the axis of the cannula.

Cannula and proximally mounted camera with an imaging control system for rotating images

A handle intended to be used in conjunction with a conventional screwdriver that allows a user to operate on a screw without having to remove and reposition the screwdriver on the screw. The handle comprises a shaft having an elongated cavity disposed therein, wherein the handle of a conventional screwdriver is accommodated within the cavity in a lengthwise orientation. A spring attached to the end of the cavity is longitudinally disposed within the cavity, the spring having a rubber stopper disposed at its end opposite of the end of the cavity. When a screw is to be operated on, a downward normal force is applied to the screw in addition to the rotational force required to turn the screw. The downward force compresses the spring, and the rubber stopper contacts the top of the handle, thereby translating rotational motion of the shaft to the handle of the screwdriver, to the shaft of the screwdriver, and finally to the screw. When the shaft has been rotated to a point where the user is no longer able to rotate the shaft to produce adequate force to operate the screw, the user releases the downward normal force and rotates the shaft in the opposite direction. The force exerted by the spring alone is sufficient to prevent the tip of the screwdriver from being dislodged from its mating engagement with the screw.
