Disclosed embodiments integrate a camera into an intraoral mirror. Integrating a camera into an intraoral mirror provides an efficient way to record and display what is visible to the healthcare provider in the mirror.

A speculum, comprising a handle portion including a proximal end, a distal end and at least one sidewall connecting the proximal end and the distal end and having a cavity in the sidewall thereof, a lower blade connected to the handle portion, an upper blade movably connected to the lower blade, the upper and lower blades being configured to move relative to one another between a closed state and an open state, and a lighting assembly comprising at least one light source and at least one energy storage device, said lighting assembly being at least partially disposed in the cavity in the sidewall of the handle portion.

There is provided a battery assembly and a medical capsule. The battery assembly comprises: a battery pack comprising at least two batteries connected in series, and a plurality of connectors electrically connected to the battery pack, comprising a positive electrode connector electrically connected to a positive electrode of the battery pack, a negative electrode connector electrically connected to a negative electrode of the battery pack, and an intermediate connector electrically connected to a positive electrode of one of any two adjacent batteries and a negative electrode of the other one of the two adjacent batteries. The battery assembly of the present invention can selectively output the total voltage of the battery pack or output part of the voltage of the battery pack through the plurality of connectors.

The present invention relates to: a laryngoscopy system including a laryngoscope body and an image display module; an image display module for a laryngoscopy system; and a kit including an image display module and at least one laryngoscope body. The laryngoscope body has a handle portion and a blade portion, the blade portion having a distal end and a handle connection end and a blade body extending therebetween. The laryngoscope body further comprises an imaging component disposed on or housed by the blade portion. The image display module is configured to receive image data from the imaging component, and includes an accelerometer for motion input control of the image display module.

A capsule-type endoscope including a battery, a camera configured to capture internal organ images, a light source configured to irradiate light to capture the internal organ images, and a light source driving power line supplying power, stored in the battery, to the light source. The light source driving power line is a loop antenna coil for reception of a control signal from an external coupled loop antenna coil for transmission.

One embodiment provides a device, method, and wireless endoscope. The wireless endoscope includes a light integrated in a first portion. The wireless endoscope also includes a lens positioned proximate the light in the first portion. The light and the lens are inserted into a body. The first portion is interchangeable. The wireless endoscope also includes a connector physically securing the first portion to the second portion. The second portion is not inserted into the body. The wireless endoscope also includes a camera capturing video content received through the lens. The wireless endoscope also includes a wireless transmitter transmits the video content to a receiver associated with a displaying device.

Methods for capturing and transmitting images by an in-vivo device comprise operating a pixel array in a superpixel readout mode to capture probe image, for example, according to a time interval. Concurrently to capturing of each probe image, the probe image is evaluated alone or in conjunction with other probe image(s), and if it is determined that no event of interest is detected by the last probe image, or by the last few probe images, the pixel array is operated in the superpixel readout mode and a subsequent probe image is captured. However, if it is determined that the last probe image, or the last few probe images, detected an event of interest, the pixel array is operated in a single pixel readout mode and a single normal image, or a series of normal image, is captured and transmitted, for example, to an external receiver.

A device for scanning a human intra-cavity, including a housing including a part connected to the housing, the part dimensioned for being inserted into said human intra-cavity, a single mounting-interface on the housing, the single mounting-interface configured to removably mount an internal power supply unit for powering the device from an internal power supply within the internal power supply unit, or an external power supply unit for powering the device from an external power supply outside the external power supply unit, the device configured for being changed between two power-operation modes.

A laparoscopic medical device includes an oximeter sensor at its tip, which allows the making of oxygen saturation measurements laparoscopically. The device can be a unitary design, wherein a laparoscopic element includes electronics for the oximeter sensor at a distal end (e.g., opposite the tip). The device can be a multiple piece design (e.g., two-piece design), where some electronics is in a separate housing from the laparoscopic element, and the pieces (or portions) are removably connected together. The laparoscopic element can be removed and disposed of; so, the electronics can be reused multiple times with replacement laparoscopic elements. The electronics can include a processing unit for control, computation, or display, or any combination of these. However, in an implementation, the electronics can connect wirelessly to other electronics (e.g., another processing unit) for further control, computation, or display, or any combination of these.

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; a channel for receiving an endotracheal tube, the channel extending along the blade and partially along the handle, and the channel including an outlet proximate to the tip for allowing a distal end of the endotracheal tube to be advanced from the outlet; 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 being configured to allow the user to hold the intubation device and advance the endotracheal tube in an endotracheal intubation procedure using a single hand; and an auxiliary conduit for allowing an auxiliary function to be provided using the intubation device.
