An intubation device for use in an endotracheal intubation procedure, the intubation device including: a laryngoscope blade having a tip and a base; a handle attached to the base of the blade for allowing the intubation device to be held in a hand of a user; a channel for receiving an endotracheal tube, the channel including a blade channel portion extending along the blade substantially from the tip to the base and including an outlet proximate to the tip for allowing a distal end of the endotracheal tube to be advanced from the outlet and a handle channel portion extending partially along the handle from the blade channel portion; and a tube movement mechanism in the handle for moving the endotracheal tube through the channel to thereby advance the endotracheal tube, the tube movement mechanism including a thumb interface for allowing the user to operate the tube movement mechanism using a thumb of the hand that is holding the intubation device, to thereby allow the user to hold the intubation device and advance the endotracheal tube in an endotracheal intubation procedure using a single hand.

An examination probe used in an apparatus for examining the depth of a periodontal pocket includes a light-emitting portion and a gripping portion. The light-emitting portion includes a crystal deflecting element, which deflects, in a specific direction, measuring light split off from low-interference light, and an f- lens for rendering parallel the measuring light that has been deflected. Measuring light that has been rendered parallel such as a measuring light beam is emitted from an opening of the light-emitting portion and irradiates a gum or tooth of a subject. An optical tomographic image of the gum or tooth is generated from interference signals obtained based on reflected light, allowing the depth of a periodontal pocket to be determined. The light-emitting portion protrudes further than the gripping portion does in the direction of emission of the measuring light such as the measuring light beam.

A head-mounted display device for interface with a medical device includes a frame configured to be mounted on a user's head, a display, a wireless transceiver configured to communicate with a network, and a processing circuit. The medical device is configured to perform an invasive procedure on the person. The processing circuit receives a notification message from the medical device. The processing circuit records medical device information in response to receiving the notification message from the medical device.

Errors in a blended stream that would result in non-display or obscuring of a live video stream from a medical device may be automatically detected, and a failover stream corresponding to the first live video stream may be displayed to medical personnel. For example, one or more second input streams that are being blended may contain no data or invalid data which may result in the blended stream not displaying (or obscuring) the live video stream (if the blended were displayed). Switching from blending to a failover buffer may occur within the time to process a single video image frame. Upon detection (prior to display) that the blended stream would not display the live video stream, display of the live video stream from the failover buffer may be initiated. Other aspects are also described and claimed.

A method for coordinating the operation of a surgical instrument and a surgical pump to control fluid pressure in an internal anatomy of a patient during a surgical procedure includes: receiving video data captured by an imaging device configured to image the internal anatomy of the patient; automatically determining a presence of a surgical instrument in the internal anatomy of the patient based on the received video data; and in response to determining that the surgical instrument is present in the internal anatomy of the patient, initiating a suction associated with the surgical instrument prior to activation of the surgical instrument.

Fluorescence videostroboscopy imaging is described. A system includes an emitter for emitting pulses of electromagnetic radiation and an image sensor comprising a pixel array for sensing reflected electromagnetic radiation. The system includes a controller configured to cause the emitter to emit the pulses of electromagnetic radiation at a strobing frequency determined based on a vibration frequency of vocal cords of a user. The system is such that at least a portion of the pulses of electromagnetic radiation emitted by the emitter comprises electromagnetic radiation having a wavelength from about 770 nm to about 790 nm and from about 795 nm to about 815 nm.

An endoscope/triplescope (combined gastroscope, bronchoscope, laryngoscope) device and/or system includes an endoscope having an outer diameter of less than about 5.0 millimeters, in particular less than about 3.5 millimeters, having an illumination element that includes at least one microLED that allows high resolution viewing having a distal element including an optical element that allows four way tip deflection. Depending on the use the light emitted from the microLEd or multiple microLEDs may be controlled such that a particular wavelength or a range of wavelengths is emitted. Further, the device may include a scope stiffening apparatus to minimize the endoscopes flexibility when needed, a foot and hand activation to allow air/water insufflation and image/video capture, a light source, an interior conduit having a diameter greater than about 2 mm, one or more sensor arrays, audio elements for transcription of report, sensors to measure body cavity findings.

Provided is a medical image processing system capable of maintaining or improving the resolution of an image obtained by using narrow-band light of a short wavelength while maintaining image quality of an image obtained by using broadband light such as white light. A light source unit emits specific narrow-band light of a short wavelength. An image sensor includes a first pixel group including a B pixel and a second pixel group including a G pixel and a W pixel. The B pixel has a higher sensitivity to the specific narrow-band light than the G pixel. The G pixel has a sensitivity to light in a green band and the specific narrow-band light. The W pixel has a sensitivity to broadband illumination light including the light in the green band and the specific narrow-band light.

A medical visualisation system including a medical visualisation device having: an image sensor configured to generate image data, a light emitter, a device processing unit configured to receive the image data from the image sensor and encode the image data to provide encoded image data based on the image data, and a device wireless transceiver configured to communicate with a monitor wireless transceiver of a monitor device, the device wireless transceiver being configured to receive the encoded image data from the device processing unit and transmit the encoded image data using a downstream data channel from the device wireless transceiver to the monitor wireless transceiver and to receive settings data using an upstream data channel from the monitor wireless transceiver to the device wireless transceiver.

Techniques relate to providing image data, indicators, and/or other data associated with a medical instrument with the appropriate orientation to assist a user in performing a procedure. For example, a user interface can present an image representation representing image data from a scope and/or a working channel indicator indicating an angle of rotation of a working channel of the scope. When the scope rolls, a rotation adjustment can be applied to the image representation to rotate the image representation within the user interface. Further, the working channel indicator can rotate within the user interface.
