Abstract
A surgical simulation scope system is provided as effective as a surgical scope without the added expense and complexities. The surgical simulation scope comprises an optics housing, a lens and an image sensor placed in such a way to ensure the location of the sensor is within the depth of focus of the lens is maintained while not damaging the sensor and, in some cases, to provide angled and/or rotational viewing.
Claims1
A surgical simulation scope comprising:
- a handle comprising a scope housing and a camera head, the scope housing comprising a proximal portion comprising a rotatory barrel and a distal portion comprising an adapter housing, the rotatory barrel defining a cavity;
- an elongate shaft having a proximal end, a distal end and a longitudinal axis extending between the proximal end and the distal end, the proximal end being fixedly attached to the scope housing and the distal end comprising an optics mount, the scope housing being rotatably attached to the camera head;
- an image sensor disposed within the optics mount;
- an encoder disposed within the cavity of the rotatory barrel, the encoder comprising an encoder shaft extending out and through an aperture in a proximal end of the rotatory barrel and fixedly secured to the camera head;
- a simulated light cable fixedly attached to and extending from the scope housing;
- and
- a controller connected to the simulated light cable, the encoder providing rotational data to the controller through the simulated light cable.
