Abstract
An access device for a minimally invasive procedure can include a port body defining an instrument channel for a medical instrument, a radial extension extending at least partially outward from the body in a radial direction. The radial extension can extend from a distal end of the port body. The radial extension can define an imaging device cavity defined therein spaced from the port body and opening distally from the radial extension. The imaging device cavity can be configured to receive an imaging device therein for providing images within a field of view that is at least partially distal of the port body.
Claims22
An imaging system for laparoscopic surgery comprising:
- an access device having an elongated body defining at least one access port and including a radial extension at a distal end thereof;
- a lighting device operatively associated with the radial extension of the access device;
- and
- at least one imaging device operatively associated with the radial extension of the access device.
An access device for a minimally invasive procedure, comprising:
- a port body defining an instrument channel for a medical instrument;
- at least one radial extension extending at least partially outward from the body in a radial direction, wherein the radial extension extends from a distal end of the port body,
- wherein the radial extension includes an imaging device cavity defined therein spaced from the port body and opening from the radial extension,
- wherein the imaging device cavity is configured to receive an imaging device therein for providing images within a field of view that is at least partially distal of the port body.
An imaging device for a minimally invasive procedure, comprising:
- a body;
- at least one radial extension extending at least partially outward from the body in a radial direction, wherein the radial extension extends from a distal end of the body,
- wherein the radial extension includes an imaging device cavity defined therein spaced from the port body and opening from the radial extension,
- wherein the imaging device cavity is configured to receive an imaging device therein for providing images within a field of view that is at least partially distal of the body.
