Abstract
An electrosurgical device vision system, comprising at least one of one or more fiber-optic cables and/or digital image sensor positioned to capture a corresponding one or more views of the surgical site in proximity to a distal tip portion of an electrosurgical device, and a processor configured to utilize multiple images captured by the vision system to construct a composite image with at least one of an improved resolution, clarity, dynamic range, and/or size.
Claims10
An electrosurgical system, comprising:
- a handheld electrosurgical instrument comprising a proximal handle portion, a distal tip portion, and a shaft portion located between the proximal handle portion and the distal tip portion, the distal tip portion configured to apply an electrical potential to biological tissue within a surgical site, so as to at least one of cut, oblate, or coagulate the biological tissue;
- an enhanced vision assembly configured to be coupled operably to the shaft portion of the handheld electrosurgical instrument, the enhanced vision assembly comprising at least one optical instrument positioned to capture a corresponding one or more source images of the surgical site in proximity to the distal tip portion of the handheld electrosurgical instrument;
- and
- a control assembly coupled operably to the enhanced vision assembly via a cable assembly, the control assembly comprising a processor configured to create a composite view of the one or more source images of the surgical site captured by the at least one optical instrument.
