A surgical headlamp includes an illumination element movably disposed on a frame adapted for headband placement on a user, allowing an illumination LED to focus irradiation onto a surgical field. A positioning element engaged between the illumination element, and the frame allows rotational and pivotal movement of the illumination element relative to the frame. A tracking circuit receives a position signal from a field of view illuminated by the illumination element, such that positioning element is responsive to position the illumination element for directing the focus to a predetermined location within the field of view for consistently positioned illumination. The focus is defined by a marker in the field of view, which may be an RFID (Radio Frequency Identifier, an optical indicia or feature, or other designation of a predetermined location affixed to the hand or established on a surgical glove, instrument or similar fixture in the surgical field.

The present disclosure provides an apparatus for supporting at least one recording device. The apparatus can have a base element, a movable joint, an arm, and a receiving element. The base element can have a horizontal and a vertical segment, where the vertical segment extends from a midpoint along the length of the horizontal segment. The movable joint can connect the arm to the base element. The arm can house the recording device. The receiving element can receive user input. For example, this apparatus can be worn during surgery to video record a surgical procedure.

A haptic feedback device receives a signal reflecting pressure exerted by a medical tool against an anatomical surface. A fastener secures the feedback device to, for example, a wrist of an operator. A haptic exertion component exerts haptic stimulation to the operator based on the received signal such that when the received signal reflects a pressure being exerted by the medical tool against the anatomical surface of a patient is in a defined range for operation of the medical tool, the exertion component exerts haptic stimulation at a predetermined level that indicates pressure of the medical tool is being exerted in the defined range. Otherwise, the exertion component does not exert a level of haptic stimulation that is equal to or more than the predetermined level or the exertion component exerts a level of haptic stimulation to the operator that is more than the predetermined level.
