Abstract
An intrusive medical device and a visualization system including the intrusive medical device, the intrusive medical device including a proximal end and a distal end spaced apart from the proximal end; a camera and a light source positioned at the distal end; and a cable bundle of consisting of a first and a second coaxial cable within a common shield, the cable bundle extending from the proximal end to the distal end and electrically connected to the camera and light source at the distal end with the common shield electrically connecting ground to camera and light source.
Claims20
An intrusive medical device comprising:
- a proximal end and a distal end spaced apart from the proximal end;
- a tubular member including a lumen therein, the tubular member extending from the proximal end to the distal end;
- a camera and a light source positioned at the distal end;
- and
- a cable bundle consisting of a first coaxial cable and a second coaxial cable within a common electrical shield, the cable bundle extending from the proximal end to the distal end and electrically connected to the camera and light source at the distal end;
- the first coaxial cable comprising a first cable central conductor, a first cable insulating layer, and a first cable shield;
- the second coaxial cable comprising a second cable central conductor, a second cable insulating layer, and a second cable shield;
- one of the first cable shield or the second cable shield being electrically connected to the light source and configured to supply power to the light source;
- the other of the first cable shield or the second cable shield being electrically connected to the camera and configured to supply power to the camera;
- one of the first cable central conductor or the second cable central conductor being electrically connected to the camera and configured to transfer a video signal;
- the other of the first cable central conductor or the second cable central conductor being electrically connected to the camera and configured to transfer a clock signal;
- and
- the common electrical shield electrically connecting a ground to the camera and the light source.
