Another embodiment of the surgical loupes comprises a counterweight mechanism operably connected to the eyewear portion. Another embodiment of the surgical loupes comprises a LED and camera portion. The LED light may be an orange spectrum light that blocks out blue spectrum light so as to prevent premature curing during dental procedures. Still yet another embodiment of the surgical loupes comprises blue spectrum light blocking lenses operably location in the lens housing.

An endoscope and related method comprise a proximal handle and a distal shaft having an insertion end. A housing comprising a camera assembly may be mounted on an insertion end of the shaft and include at least one lens and an image sensor. The camera assembly housing is rotatable about an axis perpendicular to the long axis of the shaft, giving the camera assembly a variable field of view. The rotatable camera assembly housing may be mounted to the insertion end of the shaft so that the rotatable housing of the camera assembly comprises the distal-most element of the endoscope shaft or insertion end. The endoscope may include a circuit board having a first portion disposed within the proximal handle and one or more extension portions that extend within the shaft to the camera assembly and/or to a light source near the distal end of the shaft. At least one light emitter may be mounted on the insertion end of the shaft and configured to project light in a direction either toward or away from the field of view of the camera assembly. The light emitter may also be mounted on the camera assembly housing to direct light toward the field of view of the camera assembly. Power and communication lines can be co-located within a lumen of the shaft of the endoscope used for fluid irrigation or suction.

Apparatuses and methods for electrohydraulic generation of shockwaves at a rate of between 10 Hz and 5 MHz, and/or that permit a user to view a region of a patient comprising target cells during application of generated shockwaves to the region. Methods of applying electro-hydraulically generated shockwaves to target tissues (e.g., for reducing the appearance of tattoos, treatment or reduction of certain conditions and/or maladies).

Embodiments related to medical imaging devices including rigid imaging tips and their methods of use for identifying abnormal tissue within a surgical bed are disclosed.

A hyperspectral imaging apparatus and methods for performing hyperspectral imaging of a surgical field, involving: an external optical imaging device for externally imaging internal tissue through a surgical access port, the access port having a port wall having a light-diffusing surface texture, whereby reflectance of the port wall is decreasable, and the external optical imaging device having an illuminated exoscope, the illuminated exoscope having: a longitudinal housing; an optical imaging assembly provided within the longitudinal housing; an imaging camera interfaced with the optical imaging assembly for detecting images collected by the optical imaging assembly; and one or more illumination sources supported by the longitudinal housing, wherein an illumination axis associated with each illumination source is offset from an imaging axis of the optical imaging assembly; a remote light source; a spectral filtering device in optical communication with the remote light source; and a light guide having a proximal end in optical communication with an output of the spectral filtering device and one or more distal ends, wherein each distal end is in optical communication with an illumination source.

A surgical tray system is disclosed. The system includes a tray for use in an operating room environment. In various embodiments, the tray includes an indentation having a bowl shape. A vacuum sealed bag is fitted over the tray and form fitted to the tray when the air is removed from within the bag. The tray optionally includes an light source for illuminating an area under the tray, a magnification element, and pouches for storing items used during a surgical procedure. The tray is optionally substantially transparent to allow light to pass through the tray. The tray is ideally positioned over a patient bed. It may be mounted via an arm to a bed frame member, a monitor station, or a ceiling fixture.

A surgical visualization system for use with a robotic surgical system that includes a surgical tool movable with respect to a tissue of a patient in response to an instrument motion control signal is disclosed. The surgical visualization system includes a camera and a control circuit coupled to the camera. The control circuit is configured to determine a distance between the surgical tool and the tissue and adjust a magnification of the camera based on the distance between the surgical tool and the tissue.

A medical observation apparatus includes: a camera configured to capture an object image of an observation target; a support configured to support the camera so as to be rotatable about a plurality of mutually-different shafts; a memory configured to store the position of the camera; a brake configured to switch between: a permission state for permitting the camera to rotate about at least one of the plurality of shafts; and a restriction state for restricting the rotation; and a controller configured to perform a reproduction process for switching the brake to the permission state, and thereafter switching the brake from the permission state to the restriction state when the support is operated according to an external force applied to the support by an operator and the camera is located at the position of the camera stored in the memory.

The present disclosure is directed to augmented reality navigation systems and methods of their use that, inter alia, address the need for systems and methods of robotic surgical system navigation with reduced distraction to surgeons. Augmented reality navigation systems disclosed herein enable a surgeon to maintain focus on a surgical site and/or surgical tool being used in a surgical procedure while obtaining a wide range of navigational information relevant to the procedure. Navigational information can appear in the augmented reality navigation system as being presented on virtual displays that sit in a natural field of view of a surgeon during a procedure. Navigational information can also appear to be overlaid over a patient's anatomy. Augmented reality navigation systems comprise a head mounted display comprising an at least partially transparent display screen, at least one detector connected to the head mounted display for identifying real-world features, and a computer subsystem.

A head-worn image display apparatus that comprises a non-immersive image display assembly that receives images from a stereoscopic video camera module. The image display assembly comprises a miniature display component for generating the images for display. The image display assembly may work by an optical relay system. The head-worn image display apparatus could be used in a variety of different settings. One particular application is for performing medical procedures such as microsurgery. The stereoscopic video camera module may have optical magnification capability (e.g. such as in a surgical microscope) to provide a magnified view of the surgical field.
