Abstract
A support mechanism for a medical device may include an adjustable support that includes a plurality of elongate members movable relative to one another. The support mechanism may also include a bracket coupled to the adjustable support. The bracket may be adapted to be coupled to a first medical device that extends along a longitudinal axis. The support mechanism may also include an instrument holder that extends along a central axis. The instrument holder may be movably coupled to the bracket and adapted to be coupled to a second medical device. The bracket and the instrument holder may be oriented such that central axis of the instrument holder intersects the longitudinal axis at an angle.
Claims18
A support mechanism, comprising:
- an adjustable support including a plurality of elongate members rotatable relative to one another;
- an arm coupled to the adjustable support;
- a bracket coupled to the arm and configured to be coupled to a first medical device that extends along a longitudinal axis;
- and
- an instrument holder coupled to the arm, the instrument holder extending along a central axis and configured to be coupled to a second medical device,
- wherein the bracket and the instrument holder are oriented with respect to one another such that the central axis of the instrument holder intersects the longitudinal axis at an angle;
- and
- wherein one or both of the instrument holder and the bracket are moveable with respect to one another to change the angle.
A support mechanism, comprising:
- an adjustable support including a plurality of elongate members rotatable relative to one another;
- an arm coupled to the adjustable support;
- a bracket coupled to the arm and configured to receive a first medical device extending along a longitudinal axis;
- and
- an instrument holder coupled to the arm and configured to receive a second medical device,
- wherein the bracket and the instrument holder are oriented with respect to one another such that a central axis of the second medical device received in the instrument holder intersects the longitudinal axis at an adjustable angle, and
- wherein the first medical device is secured between a first extension and a second extension of the bracket.
A system, comprising:
- a support mechanism for a first medical device and a second medical device, comprising:
- an adjustable support including a plurality of elongate members rotatable relative to one another;
- an arm coupled to the adjustable support;
- a bracket coupled to the arm and configured to receive the first medical device that extends along a longitudinal axis;
- and
- an instrument holder coupled to the arm and configured to receive the second medical device that extends along a central axis,
- wherein the bracket and the instrument holder are oriented relative to one another such that the central axis intersects the longitudinal axis at an angle, wherein one or both of the instrument holder and the bracket are moveable with respect to one another to change the angle;
- and
- a third medical device.
