    摘要: An optical fiber (170) for transmitting a light beam by a light source including a proximal portion (172) configured to receive the light beam from the light source (122), the proximal portion having a first numerical aperture, a distal portion (174) configured to emit the light beam to illuminate a surgical field (180), the distal portion having a second numerical aperture, and a central portion (176) extending between the proximal portion and the distal portion, the central portion having a third numerical aperture, The optical fiber is configured to receive the light beam at the proximal portion at the first numerical aperture and output the light beam from the distal portion at the second numerical aperture, wherein the second numerical aperture is greater than the first numerical aperture.

    摘要: An atraumatic microsurgical forceps may include an actuation structure, an actuation sleeve having an actuation sleeve distal end and an actuation sleeve proximal end, a surgical blank, and atraumatic forceps jaws of the surgical blank having atraumatic forceps jaws distal ends and atraumatic forceps jaws proximal ends. The surgical blank may be disposed within the actuation sleeve wherein at least a portion of the atraumatic forceps jaws extends from the actuation sleeve distal end. A compression of the actuation structure may be configured to gradually extend the actuation sleeve over the atraumatic forceps jaws proximal ends. An extension of the actuation sleeve over the atraumatic forceps jaws proximal ends may be configured to gradually close the atraumatic forceps jaws wherein the atraumatic forceps jaws initially contact at the atraumatic forceps jaws distal ends.

    摘要: A steerable laser probe may include a handle having a handle distal end and a handle proximal end, an actuation control of the handle, a housing tube having a housing tube distal end and a housing tube proximal end, a first housing tube portion having a first stiffness, a second housing tube portion having a second stiffness, an optic fiber disposed within an inner portion of the handle and the housing tube, and a cable disposed within the housing tube and the actuation control. A rotation of the actuation control may be configured to gradually curve the housing tube and the optic fiber. A rotation of the actuation control may be configured to gradually straighten the housing tube and the optic fiber.

    摘要: Surgical instrument subcomponent integration by additive manufacturing may include identifying at least two subcomponents of a multi-component assembly wherein a first subcomponent of the at least two subcomponents has a first functionality and wherein the first subcomponent of the at least two subcomponents is manufactured from a first material having a first set of material properties. Surgical instrument subcomponent integration by additive manufacturing may include modifying one or more properties of the first subcomponent of the at least two subcomponents to reproduce the first functionality when the first subcomponent is manufactured from a second material having a second set of material properties. Surgical instrument subcomponent integration by additive manufacturing may comprise integrating the at least two subcomponents by manufacturing an integral component by additive manufacturing wherein the integral component is manufactured from the second material and wherein the first functionality is retained.
