Mount for enabling one-handed control of a medical device that provides imaging data and an electronic device displaying that imaging data the mount providing for in- plane and out-of-plane viewing configurations for the electronic device

A method of performing medical procedures concurrently, the method comprising:

• performing a first medical procedure with one hand of an operator, wherein performing the first medical procedure includes:
• operating a mount configured to enable one-handed control of both a medical device and an electronic device, the mount holding the medical device and the electronic device, and configured to allow for one-handed movement of the medical device and the electronic device in unison, the mount including:
• a first assembly configured to receive the medical device, the medical device configured to provide imaging data of a patient to the electronic device having a display, the first assembly including a first member configured to hold the medical device,
• a second assembly configured to receive the electronic device, the electronic device configured to display the imaging data of the patient received from the medical device, the second assembly including a second member configured to hold the electronic device via a magnetic force in an in-plane configuration with respect to the medical device at a first point in time and an out-of-plane configuration with respect to the medical device at a second point in time that is distinct from the first point in time, the in-plane configuration being distinct from the out-of-plane configuration, and
• a coupling mechanism configured to couple the first member to the second member such that the first and second members are configured to be movable relative to one another to adjust at least one angle of the electronic device relative to the medical device while the electronic device is positioned in the in-plane configuration with respect to the medical device at the first point in time and while the electronic device is positioned in the out-of-plane configuration, distinct from the in-plane configuration, with respect to the medical device at the second point in time;
• and
• performing a second medical procedure with another hand of the operator concurrently with the first medical procedure.

A method of forming a mount for enabling one-handed control of both a medical device and an electronic device, the method comprising:

• forming a first assembly configured to receive the medical device, the medical device configured to provide imaging data of a patient to the electronic device having a display, the first assembly including a first member configured to hold the medical device;
• forming a second assembly configured to receive the electronic device, the electronic device configured to display the imaging data of the patient received from the medical device, the second assembly including a second member configured to hold the electronic device via a magnetic force in an in-plane configuration with respect to the medical device at a first point in time and an out-of-plane configuration with respect to the medical device at a second point in time that is distinct from the first point in time, the in-plane configuration being distinct from the out-of-plane configuration;
• forming a coupling mechanism configured to couple the first member to the second member such that the first and second members are configured to be movable relative to one another to adjust at least one angle of the electronic device relative to the medical device while the electronic device is positioned in the in-plane configuration with respect to the medical device at the first point in time and while the electronic device is positioned in the out-of-plane configuration, distinct from the in-plane configuration, with respect to the medical device at the second point in time;
• and
• wherein when the first member is holding the medical device and the second member is holding the electronic device, the mount being configured to allow for one-handed movement of the medical device and the electronic device in unison.
