Medical instrument

A portable imaging system incorporating a portable light source powered by a battery, the output of which is conditioned and regulated to supply an output voltage of a selected level such that the light source provides illuminating light of a selected illumination level and a selected color temperature for use in illuminating the area of interest of an object whose image is observed by means of said portable imaging system.

Apparatus and method for powering portable battery operated light sources

A surgical clamp system including a clamp, a delivery/retrieval device, and an actuator is provided. The clamp includes a pair of jaws actuatable relative to each other from a fully open to a fully closed position. The delivery/retrieval device is detachably connected to the clamp, and is operable by a surgeon to deploy the clamp, retrieve the clamp, or both. The actuator cooperates with the delivery/retrieval device and engages the clamp, and is operable by the surgeon to open and close the jaws of the clamp. The delivery/retrieval device and the actuator are operable to securely lock the jaws of the clamp in any position between the fully open and the fully closed positions, both during and after being detached from the delivery/retrieval device.

Deployable surgical clamp with delivery/retrieval device and actuator

The invention relates to a medical instrument, particularly a surgical instrument with a displaceable push/pull rod arranged on the proximal end of a hand manipulator for activating remote tool parts on the distal end, in which a force-limiting device is envisaged for limiting the transmission of force onto the remote tool parts from the hand manipulator via the push/pull rod. In order to design a simple and cost effective force-limiting device the push/pull rod is designed to be spring elastic in its lateral length.

Medical instrument, particularly a surgical instrument

A surgical thread cutter (,) has a blade (,) movable via an actuation mechanism (,) relative to an anvil (,) toward and away from the latter, and a spring by way of which the blade (,) can be acted upon by spring force in one movement direction. In the interest of better and safer handling, it is proposed that the spring act upon the blade (,) in the cutting direction, that a retention system be provided by means of which the blade (,) can be locked in a position remote from the anvil (,); and that the force of the spring be set in such a way that after the retention system is released, the blade (,) can be moved onto the anvil (,) in the manner of a guillotine (FIG.,).
