An apparatus for detecting a locating medium in tissue includes a probe, and a console. The probe includes a handle and a detector disposed on a distal end of the probe. The console is in communication and includes a display. The display has a first graphical representation and a second graphical representation. The first graphical representation is configured to depict a count real-time count based on a signal from the detector. The second graphical representation is configured to depict a target count.

The present invention is directed to a miniaturized biosensor and nanotechnology which is embedded in a variety of medical devices which can be used for real-time device location tracking and analysis, for the purpose of optimizing device positioning both at the time of initial placement and throughout its clinical use (i.e., device continuum). The continuously acquired device-specific standardized data is then transmitted through wireless communication networks to provide continuous feedback and alerts to authorized clinical providers as to device positioning, clinical performance, and presence of pathology.

Provided herein are an apparatus, system, and method for a medical diagnostic and imaging forceps for determining the pathology of tissue in vivo during surgery, endoscopy, laparoscopy, or other medical procedure, the forceps comprising a platform for analyzing tissue pathology inside the body by way of sensors including without limitation conductivity, optical, tracking, and x-ray sensors.

A tethered laparoscopic probe for deployment through a trocar into a cavity of a subject and manipulatable by fenestrated laparoscopic graspers includes opposing fenestrated jaws. The tethered laparoscopic probe also includes a probe head shaped for insertion through the trocar and including an elongated casing, a sensor arranged within the casing and defining a sensing direction of the probe head, and a grip for secure grasping by the fenestrated laparoscopic graspers. The grip has protrusions for mating with the fenestrated jaws. The tethered laparoscopic probe further includes a tether coupled to the probe head. The protrusions are positioned and shaped to enable the grip to be grasped securely by the fenestrated laparoscopic graspers at a first angle relative to the sensing direction of the probe head and at a second angle relative to the sensing direction of the probe head, the second angle being different from the first angle.

In the field of radioimmunoguided surgical system instrumentation there is described and claimed a hand-held probe with a disposable power source as well as a visually perceptible indicator of detected counts of radiation. Also disclosed is a system comprising the hand-held probe and an instrumentation console. The handle includes a probe link that transmits a message containing gamma data relating to the low-level electrical signal. The instrumentation console may include a housing, a console link to receive the message transmitted by the probe link, a receiver electrically coupled to the console link to convert the message to corresponding electrical display signals, and a visually perceivable display electrically coupled to the receiver to convert the electrical display signals to a visually perceivable display relating to the amount of radiation detected.
