An integrated scope and biopsy device having visualization for use in many different medical applications, such as, but not limited to, collection of uterine tissue biopsy is disclosed. The device may further include an integrated camera and light for visualizing the interior of the uterus and the tissue biopsy site itself. Further, the device is configured to evacuate tissue biopsies through aspiration and irrigation.

Surgical sealing ports for use with surgical instruments for access of a natural body orifice are provided. In one exemplary embodiment, a surgical sealing port includes a seal housing and at least one retention element. The seal housing is configured to be at least partially disposed within a natural body orifice and defining a plurality of ports. The plurality of ports includes at least one first port configured to control the ingress and egress of fluid between an interior volume of the natural body orifice and an ambient environment, and at least one second port that is configured to form a seal around an instrument inserted therethrough. The at least one retention element is arranged on an exterior surface of the housing and configured to affix the housing to the natural body orifice. Methods for using the same are also provided.

Systems and methods for de-smoking images of a surgical scene are described. Methods include receiving a video of a surgical scene including an image frame. Methods include determining that the image frame includes a smoke occlusion. Methods include determining an estimated un-occluded color of one or more pixels of the image frame using a lookup table, the lookup table mapping between a color space and a set of color bins including the estimated un-occluded color. Methods include determining a respective estimated true color for the one or more pixels of the subset using the imaged color, the estimated un-occluded color, and the smoke color. Methods also include generating a de-smoked image frame using the respective estimated true colors of the one or more pixels, the de-smoked image exhibiting a reduction of the smoke occlusion relative to the image frame.

The present specification provides an apparatus for supporting one or more monitors. The apparatus includes a base stand having one or more wheels for enabling movement of the apparatus; a first rigid frame having a top end and a bottom end attached with the base stand; a second extendable frame having a top end and a bottom end and telescopically movable within the first rigid frame; a monitor arm assembly removably coupled with the top end of the second frame and configured to receive a plurality of monitors. The apparatus is transformable from a first collapsed configuration for transport and storage into a second operational configuration by rotating or removing the monitor arm assembly and by moving the second extendable frame relative to the first rigid frame.

A drive device includes a filter section that includes an optical filter, a transmission section that rotates around a rotation shaft, a first groove portion that is formed to the transmission section, a protruding portion that is formed to the filter section, in contact with the first groove portion, and that moves the filter section from a first position to a second position by moving along the first groove portion in coordination with rotation of the transmission section, and a second groove portion that is formed continuously with the first groove portion, and that is provided along a tangent line direction passing through the protruding portion that is on a circle having the rotation shaft of the transmission section at a center and a radius that is a distance between the rotation shaft and the protruding portion, when the optical filter section is moved to the second position.

An imaging tube 210 includes an imaging lens and an illumination unit. A cap part 230 including a penetration part in which the imaging tube 210 penetrates is included at a leading end part of amain body part 220. A protective tube 212 that protects the entire circumference of the imaging tube 210 is attached to the imaging tube 210. A holding part 235 that holds an end part of the protective tube 212 with the imaging tube 210 is formed in the penetration part of the cap part 230. When being rotated in a first direction, the cap part 230 is moved in a direction opposite to a protruding direction of the imaging tube 210. When being rotated in a second direction opposite to the first direction, the cap part 230 is moved in the protruding direction of the imaging tube 210.

An endoscope image-capturing device includes: a first case inside of which is sealed; an image sensor arranged inside the first case; an electro-optic conversion element arranged outside the first case and configured to convert an image signal output from the image sensor into an optical signal; and a sealing member sealing the electro-optic conversion element.

An endoscope device having: a display configured to display a first image region and a second image region; and a controller configured to: perform first display change control to control the display to change a display state of the first image region based on an instruction input to an instruction input device through a first operation method; and perform second display change control to control the display to change a display state of the second image region based on an instruction input to the instruction input device through a second operation method.

A video processing system including a video processing apparatus (VPA) including: a housing having a top wall with a top wall periphery, a top surface extending to the top wall periphery, and a central area; an input port adapted to receive video input signals from a videoscope; an output connector adapted to transmit video output signals; and a bracket interface supported by the housing and adapted to support a support bracket including a first retention feature, bracket interface located within the central area of the top wall and comprising a bracket base receptacle and a second retention feature, the bracket base receptacle sized and shaped to receive a base end of the support bracket, and the second retention feature sized and shaped to cooperate with the first retention feature to removably retain the base end of the support bracket.

The present disclosure relates to visualizing an operative field in the context of a dental operating theater, and more specifically, to a portable, modular, multifunctional intraoral imaging system to assist a practitioner in performing a medical or dental procedure in a confined space (e.g., intraoral cavity or mouth of a patient). The system may include an intraoral camera apparatus having a camera unit equipped with a wireless transmitter, and a viewscreen mounted to an articulated stand or dental delivery unit, wherein the camera wirelessly may transmit an image to a viewscreen located directly in front of a dental practitioner. The practitioner may look directly ahead at a high-definition screen to view the operative field. A dental practitioner may use the apparatus to perform micro-surgical procedures in a confined operative area with less-than-ideal visibility and access, without the present, though generally accepted, physical difficulties and limitations.
