Abstract
Dissectors for use in dissection during surgical procedures and having adjustable illumination profiles.
Claims16
A surgical dissector device, comprising:
- a handle body;
- a power supply;
- a shaft having a proximal portion coupled to the handle body, a medial portion away from the handle body and a dissector structure at a distal portion;
- where the dissector structure comprises a dissector shape that is different than a remainder of the shaft and a blunt distal tip, where the dissector structure is configured to dissect tissue, the dissector shape comprising an opening;
- a first illumination source coupled to the power supply, the first illumination source is located within the opening, the first illumination source configured to provide a first illumination profile extending in a distal direction from the dissector structure;
- and
- a second illumination source located on the shaft, the second illumination source configured to provide a second illumination profile extending in the distal direction from the dissector structure, where the second illumination source can be adjusted to adjust a size or orientation of the second illumination profile.
4 more elements
A method of identifying a region of tissue, the method comprising:
- dissecting the region of tissue with a surgical dissector device comprising a shaft having a dissecting surface at a distal end and an illumination source coupled to the shaft, where the illumination source is configured to provide an illumination profile extending in a distal direction from the dissecting surface;
- and
- adjusting a size or direction of the illumination profile by adjusting the illumination source.
