Abstract
A medical illumination device for illuminating a desired region of a patient, the device being for use by a medical practitioner with a medical instrument, the device including: a housing; at least one light source disposed in the housing; an attachment configuration configured for reversibly attaching the housing to the medical instrument; a reflecting element configured for directing light emitted by the at least one light source on to the desired region of the patient; and a connecting member mechanically connecting the reflecting element and the housing such that, the reflecting element is rotatable in order to selectively direct light emitted by the at least one light source on to the desired region of the patient.
Claims21
A medical illumination device for illuminating a desired region of a patient, the device being for use by a medical practitioner with a medical instrument, the device comprising:
- (a) a housing;
- (b) at least one light source disposed in said housing;
- (c) an attachment configuration configured for reversibly attaching said housing to the medical instrument;
- (d) a reflecting element configured for directing light emitted by said at least one light source on to the desired region of the patient;
- and
- (e) a connecting member mechanically connecting said reflecting element and said housing such that, said reflecting element is rotatable in order to selectively direct light emitted by said at least one light source on to the desired region of the patient.
A self-powered medical illumination device for illuminating a desired region of a patient, the device being for use by a medical practitioner with a medical instrument, the device comprising:
- (a) a housing;
- (b) at least one light source disposed in said housing;
- (c) a power source disposed in said housing, said power source configured for powering said at least one light source;

- (a) a housing;
- (b) at least one light source disposed in said housing;
- and
- (c) an attachment configuration configured for reversibly attaching said housing to the medical instrument, said attachment configuration including a first clamping member and a second clamping member, said first clamping member being permanently mechanically connected to said second clamping member, said first clamping member including a restoring element for restoring a shape of said first clamping member after expansion, said second clamping member including a restoring element for restoring a shape of said second clamping member after expansion, said first clamping member being configured for being reversibly attached to the medical instrument, said second clamping member being configured for being reversibly attached to said housing.
A medical illumination device for use by a medical practitioner with a plurality of different size medical instruments, the device comprising:
- (a) a housing;
- (b) at least one light source disposed in said housing;
- and
- (c) an attachment configuration including a set of interchangeable attachment elements for reversibly attaching said housing to the different size medical instruments, each of said interchangeable attachment elements having a uniquely sized clamping member configured for being reversibly attached to one of the medical instruments.
