A handle assembly for an accessory of a medical device support system. The handle assembly includes a handle, an interface device, a conductive coating, and a connector. The interface device is in an outer surface of a generally tubular section of a handle housing of the handle and is configured to receive an input or transmit an output associated with the medical device support system. The conductive coating is on the inner surface of the generally tubular section and is configured to transmit one or more of power, ground, control signals, and communication signals corresponding to the input or the output of the interface device. The connector is connected to the conductive coating and is configured to transmit the one or more of the power, ground, control signals, and communication signals from the conductive coating to another part of the accessory and/or the medical device support system.

A protective device (10, 10) provides a protective cover for a part (12, 12, 12) of a medical device and includes a flexible part (14, 14) and a rigid part (16, 16). The rigid part (16, 16) has at least one locking element (28, 28). The locking element (28, 28) is lockingly connectable to a counterpiece of the corresponding part (12, 12, 12) of the medical device.

Provided is a medical retractor capable of ensuring visibility in a field of operation and in the periphery of the field of operation while realizing the reduction of weight of the retractor compared to a conventional steel-made retractor. A medical retractor includes: a grip portion; and a resin functional portion made of a transparent resin and extending from the grip portion. The resin functional portion has: a trunk portion which has a proximal end thereof connected to the grip portion; and a hook-shaped portion extending in a hook shape from a distal end of the trunk portion. The resin functional portion is configured to allow the viewing of an affected part which opposedly faces a back surface of the resin functional portion from a front surface side in a see-through manner.

A handle configuration for mounting to a lighthead, having a handle grip having a longitudinal axis defining a longitudinal direction of the handle grip, the handle grip having a base adjacent the lighthead in a mounted position of the handle configuration and the handle grip having a terminal end opposite the base, a wall extending from the mounting base in the longitudinal direction, the wall defining a gap between an inner surface of the wall and the handle grip for allowing a user's hand to grasp the handle grip and adjust a position of the lighthead.

An apparatus to cover a target handle (220) constituted of: a flexible bag (20) open at one end (25); an annular skirt (30) and a plurality of uniform length skirt fingers (60) extending towards a longitudinal axis (120) of said annular skirt (30), the extension of each skirt fingers (60) attached to the adjacent skirt finger (60) by a skirt connection member (140) to form a skirt band (150); and a securing ring (40) arranged to mate securely with said annular skirt (30) and a plurality of uniform securing ring fingers (100) extending towards the longitudinal axis (120), the extension of each securing ring finger (100) attached to the adjacent securing ring finger (100) by a connection member to form a securing ring band (200). Preferably, at least one of the skirt band (150) and the securing ring band (200) is broken when the apparatus is set to cover the target

A medical device such as an oximeter includes a marking feature. In an implementation, a marking mechanism of the device marks tissue based on a location of where a measurement was taken by the device. In an implementation, the marking mechanism of the device marks tissue based on an oxygen saturation measurement obtained by the device.

A suction device comprising a suction tube configured to fluidly couple to a vacuum source and to provide suction at its distal end, an illumination assembly comprising at least one direct light source for emitting light to a target area, an elongated heat sink thermally coupled to the at least one light source and extending along a portion of the suction tube, and a spine extending along the suction tube and overlapping with the elongated heat sink, the spine including an integrated lens, wherein the at least one direct light source and the elongated heat sink are enclosed within a space formed between the spine and a side of the suction tube.

An electrosurgical instrument includes a light source, a first conductor, a second conductor, an insulation material positioned between the first conductor and the second conductor, and a light pipe that carries light from the light source to the insulation material.

A method for controlling a medical light by a handle assembly removably mounted to the medical light includes storing configuration data at a controller of the handle assembly that defines a mapping of handle assembly user inputs to medical light property adjustments; detecting a first user input to the handle assembly; and sending a control signal to the medical light to vary a property of light provided by the medical light according to the first user input and the configuration data.

Apparatus and methods are described for use during a surgical procedure that is performed on a portion of a body of a patient using a surgical instrument. A computer processor segments the portion of the patient's body within intraoperative images and performs 3D reconstruction of the portion of the patient's body based on at least some of the intraoperative images. The computer processor coregisters the portion of the patient's body to a common coordinate system with the portion of the patient's body as it appears within the preoperative imaging data using a non-rigid coregistration algorithm and drives an output device to display an output, based upon the coregistering. Other applications are also described.
