Abstract
A surgical simulation camera scope is provided. The surgical simulation camera scope comprises a lens mount with a lens and a sensor mount with an image sensor disposed between the sensor mount and the lens mount. The arrangement of the lens mount and the sensor mount ensures that the location of the sensor is maintained within the depth of focus of the lens while not damaging the sensor.
Claims22
A simulation surgical camera scope comprising:
- a handle that houses a controller;
- an elongate shaft having a proximal end coupled to the handle and a distal end comprising:
- a sensor mount, and
- a lens mount, the lens mount having a proximal portion having a pocket therein, wherein the pocket is a notched depression in a proximal end of the proximal portion of the lens mount;
- a lens disposed within the lens mount;
- and
- an image sensor disposed within the pocket of the lens mount, the image sensor having a distal face facing the distal end of the elongate shaft,
- wherein the pocket has at least one radiused corner configured to allow the image sensor to have at least a portion of a perimeter of the image sensor to be in juxtaposition with one or more sides of the pocket.

A simulation surgical camera scope comprising:
- a handle;
- an elongate shaft having a proximal end coupled to the handle and a distal end comprising a sensor mount and a lens mount, the elongate shaft having a longitudinal axis extending from the proximal end of the elongate shaft to the distal end of the elongate shaft;
- a lens disposed within the lens mount, wherein a proximal portion of the lens mount has a pocket, the pocket being a notched depression in a proximal end of the proximal portion of the lens mount;
- and
- an image sensor disposed between the sensor mount and the lens mount, the lens mount having a proximal end and a distal end, the proximal end of the lens mount being parallel to the distal end of the lens mount and the sensor mount having a proximal end and a distal end, the proximal end of the sensor mount being parallel to the distal end of the sensor mount and the proximal end of the lens mount and orthogonal to the longitudinal axis of the elongate shaft,
- wherein the pocket has at least one radiused corner configured to allow the image sensor to have at least a portion of a perimeter of the image sensor to be in juxtaposition with one or more sides of the pocket.

A simulation surgical camera scope comprising:
- a handle;
- a cylindrical elongate shaft having a proximal end coupled to the handle and a distal end comprising a cylindrical sensor mount and a cylindrical lens mount, the cylindrical lens mount having threads disposed on an inner surface of the cylindrical lens mount;
- a cylindrical lens connected to a lens housing having threads disposed on an outer surface of the lens housing and arranged to mate with the threads of the cylindrical lens mount, the cylindrical lens mount having a pocket, a center aperture and at least one pin hole positioned next to the pocket, wherein the pocket is a notched depression in a proximal end of the proximal portion of the cylindrical lens mount;
- and
- an image sensor disposed within the pocket of the cylindrical lens mount and between the cylindrical sensor mount and a distal end of the cylindrical lens mount, the cylindrical sensor mount having a cavity defined by a pair of raised surfaces, at least one of the pair of raised surface having at least one pin hole, the at least one pin hole of the cylindrical lens mount being aligned with the at least one pin hole of the cylindrical sensor mount,
- wherein the pocket has at least one radiused corner configured to allow the image sensor to have at least a portion of a perimeter of the image sensor to be in juxtaposition with one or more sides of the pocket.
