International Classification:

G03B 1104

US Classification:

359510, 359511, 359512, 359513

Abstract:

A medical instrument arrangement includes an operation microscope system ( ) and a carrier unit ( ) carrying the operation microscope ( ). The medical instrument arrangement is at least partially covered by a drape ( ). The air inside the drape ( ) is removed by a suction unit. The drape ( ) is fixed to a portion of the carrier unit ( ) at a collar ( ). By operating the suction unit at different suction rates, disturbing vibrations of the system during a surgical procedure can be minimized.

International Classification:

G02B 21/00

US Classification:

359368, 359375

Abstract:

A microscopy assembly comprises a stand, a stereo microscope supported by the stand, and a mouth switch assembly mounted to a holder, the mouth switch assembly including a mouth piece grippable by a user's teeth, and with a force sensor actuatable by the exertion of pressure by a user's lip while the mouth piece is held by the user's teeth, the force sensor including an actuating element arranged at a side of the mouth piece, wherein an actuating area of the actuating element located next to a front end of the mouth piece is spaced apart from the front end of the mouth piece by a distance larger than 4 mm and smaller than 35 mm.

International Classification:

A61M 1/00
A61B 17/3205

US Classification:

604119, 604131, 606167

Abstract:

A method for treating a brain tumor includes providing a surgical instrument having an inner member and an outer member. The outer member has a distal region forming a cutting window and an optional distal elevator tip. The inner member is rotatably received within the outer member, and has a cutting tip that is exposed at the window. The cutting tip and the distal region of the outer member combine to define a cutting implement. An opening is created through the patient's skull to provide access to a brain tumor target site. The cutting implement is delivered through the opening to the target site. The elevator tip is inserted partially between the tumor and tissue of the target site, and the cutting tip is placed into contact with the tumor and operated to cut the tumor. The target site is selectively aspirated to remove cut tumor tissue.

A61B 6/00

US Classification:

424 96, 600473

Abstract:

A method of detecting a brain tumor includes administering indocyanine green to a living body; exposing brain tissue in the living body; irradiating the exposed brain tissue with excitation light of indocyanine green; obtaining an image based on fluorescence of the excited indocyanine green in the brain tissue, wherein the image is obtained using an endomicroscope; and identifying portions of the brain tissue corresponding to the brain tumor based on the image.

US Patent:

Filed:

Apr 26, 1994

Appl. No.:

8/233851

Inventors:

Robert F. Spetzler - Paradise Valley AZ

International Classification:

A61B 1788

US Classification:

606 75

Abstract:

A device for securing a previously removed cranial plate in position in a cranium to prevent relative movement between opposing bone edges includes a pin containing distal and proximal shanks having ends tapering to a relatively sharp point. The shanks are arranged preferably symmetrically about a central collar which has a dimension transverse to the longitudinal axis of the shanks greater than the diameters of the shanks so that the collar forms distal and proximal opposing shoulders for limiting the insertion depth of the pin.
