More Information
Summary:A lighted swivel laparoscopic imaging apparatus has a shaft having a proximal end opposite a distal end, wherein the proximal end is configured for attachment to an actuator, wherein a longitudinal axis extends through the shaft, between the proximal and distal ends, wherein the distal end is configured for insertion into patient anatomy and for attachment of one or more laparoscopic tools, wherein at least a first laparoscopic tool at the distal end pivots on a first gimbal apparatus that is actable, from the actuator at the proximal end of the shaft, to rotate the at least the first laparoscopic tool about the longitudinal axis of the shaft and, further, to rotate the at least the first laparoscopic tool about at least a second axis, orthogonal to the longitudinal axis. The images from the laparoscopic instrument may be viewed in virtual format with a virtual overlay of where the instruments exist and are moving inside the body from an AR/XR headset or other 3D viewing device.
