    摘要: An autoclavable handle (5) includes a handle housing (9) and with at least one switch element (11) mounted to the handle housing (9). The autoclavable handle (5) is permanently resistant to the effects of machine cleaning and of steam sterilization. The at least one switch element (11) is resiliently pressable into the handle housing (9). The switch element (11) is mounted in the handle housing (9) via at least one web (16) arranged on an underside of the switch element (11). The switch element (11) is sealed off from the handle housing (9) via a circumferential sealing element (12).

    摘要: The present application provides a sensor-based surgery set and a method for determining the position of a holding device for a surgical instrument. The surgery set includes at least one holding device, an initialization station, and a number of sensors. The initialization station has a number of sensor slots, wherein each sensor is assigned to one sensor slot and wherein the initialization station is coupled to a storage unit in which initialization information is assigned to each sensor slot. A number of sensor slots are arranged on the holding device, wherein each sensor slot is assigned to one sensor slot of the initialization station. In an initialization arrangement, a specific number of sensors is in engagement with the sensor slots of the initialization station and are coupled to the storage unit for initialization and data transmission. In use, however, the sensors are in engagement with the sensor slots.

    摘要: A system for holding an image display apparatus (60) for displaying an image captured by means of an image capturing apparatus (20) comprises a movable holding apparatus (70) for an alterable hold of the image display apparatus (60), a controllable drive device (72) for moving the holding apparatus (70), comprising a control signal input (74) for receiving a control signal, and a controller (40) comprising a signal input (42) for receiving a signal that represents an orientation or a change in the orientation of the viewing direction (28) of the image capturing apparatus (20) in space or that facilitates a determination of the orientation or the change in the orientation of the viewing direction (28) of the image capturing apparatus (20), and comprising a control signal output (47), couplable to the control signal input (74) of the controllable drive device (72), for providing a control signal for controlling the controllable drive device (72). The controller (40) is embodied and provided to control the controllable drive device (72) in such a way that, within a predetermined range of possible orientations of the viewing direction (28) of the image capturing apparatus (20) in space, the orientation of the image display apparatus (60) in space is a predetermined function of the orientation of the viewing direction (28) of the image capturing apparatus (20) in space.
