Portable surgical systems, methods, and kits are described. The surgical systems may include a camera configured to capture images, viewing equipment configured to receive and display the captured images, a processor, and a stand. The camera, the viewing equipment, the processor, and the stand are configured to be housed in a case. Surgery may be performed using the surgical system by retrieving surgical components from the case, assembling the retrieved surgical components into a surgical system, positioning a patient within the surgical system for surgery, configuring the surgical system, performing the surgery with the surgical system, reconfiguring the surgical system during the surgery, disassembling the surgical system after the surgery, and placing the components in the case.

A medical imaging device is disclosed herein. The medical imaging device includes a user interface device for displaying information relevant to an imaging process to a user and/or receiving user input relevant to an imaging process and at least one component controllable according to a user command entered using the user interface device, wherein the user interface device includes at least one pair of mixed reality smart glasses.

In a binocular loupe production method capable of attaching a loupe to a carrier lens at a correct downward attachment angle by measuring a forward tilting angle of a worker accurately, a square marker is attached to a frame having the carrier lens, and the face of a user wearing the frame and looking at a working operation point P located below while assuming a working posture taken when he or she uses the binocular loupe is photographed from the working operation point P. A forward tilting angle of the carrier lens is calculated on the basis of the degree of change from the square shape to a trapezoidal shape of the marker in an oblique image of the face photographed from below, and a downward attachment angle r at which a loupe is attached to the carrier lens is determined according to the forward tilting angle .

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.

An intraoperative near-infrared-I and near-infrared-II multi-spectral fluorescent navigation system and method of using same includes a light source module for emitting white light and excitation light for illuminating tissue to be tested to generate an emission light. An optical information collection module includes a white light camera for collecting the white light image, and near infrared-I and near infrared-II fluorescence cameras for collecting the near infrared-I and near infrared-II fluorescence images. A central control module is coupled to the light source and the optical information collection modules. An image processing unit pre-processes the white light image, and the near infrared-I and near infrared-II fluorescence images, for de-noising and enhancement. The image processing unit performs a pseudo-color mapping on the images to obtain pseudo-color superimposed images of the near infrared-I and near infrared-II for a surgical region, and completes imaging of the intraoperative near-infrared-I and near-infrared-II multi-spectral fluorescent navigation system.

A hand held device for removing ticks that are fixed to the skin of an animal or human host and comprises a housing oriented along a longitudinal axis, a tick encapsulation zone at the front end of the housing employing an openable and closable lid section capable of closing around the tick while the tick is attached to the skin of the host. A piezoelectric voltage generation device is located within the housing and activated by a striker to send a high voltage through two lead wires having their distal ends mounted within the tick encapsulation zone in gapped relationship. A trigger is mounted along an axis tangential to the longitudinal axis for triggering the piezoelectric device to send a high voltage across the electrode gap to electrocute the tick. The electrocuted tick automatically becomes detached from the host's skin and falls into the closed encapsulation zone of the device.

An optical attachment for surgical loupe glasses is disclosed. The optical attachment for surgical loupe glasses includes a visor sized to cover at least a portion of a first carrier lens of the surgical loupe glasses. The optical attachment also includes at least one loupe orienting feature defined by the visor.

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.

An endoscope has a pannable camera at the distal end of its insertion shaft, the pannable camera assembly being pivotable to provide a range of a field of view that can be equal to or greater than 180 degrees. A terminal light emitting element may be mounted to the camera assembly in order to illuminate the immediate field of view of the camera sensor regardless of the rotational position of the camera assembly. A fluid-carrying conduit of the insertion section may also be used to house functional components, including the camera assembly, actuation cables, a communications cable connected to the camera sensor, and/or a fiberoptic cable providing light to the light emitting element. A distal section of the endoscope handle may be rotatable relative to a proximal hand-held section of the endo scope handle, a rotary encoder being provided to convert the rotational position of the insertion shaft relative to the handle into a signal for the purpose of image orientation correction by an electronic processor.
