Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods of and for an ophthalmic illuminated infusion line are provided. An example ophthalmic illuminated infusion line may include an infusion arrangement having a first flexible elongate member and a flow tube. The first flexible elongate member may have a lumen configured to deliver a fluid to an eye of a patient during a surgical procedure. The flow tube may be sized to penetrate the eye of the patient and deliver the fluid to an interior of an eye to maintain intraocular pressure during a surgical procedure. The ophthalmic illuminated infusion line may also include an optical fiber coupled to the infusion arrangement and configured to penetrate the eye of the patient with the flow tube and transmit light to illuminate the interior of the eye during the surgical procedure at the same time that the flow tube delivers the fluid to the interior of the eye.

Abstract: An illuminated microsurgical instrument is provided herein that includes a microsurgical instrument having a tubular member arranged to treat patient tissue at a surgical site, the tubular member having a distal tip, an inner surface, and an outer surface. The inner surface defines a lumen. The outer surface has a notch formed therein. The illuminated microsurgical instrument further includes an optical fiber arranged to deliver light to the surgical site. The optical fiber includes a proximal end arranged to receive a light beam from a light source and also includes a curved distal end arranged to emit light adjacent to the distal tip. A portion of the curved distal end is positioned within the notch and curves away from the tubular member.
Abstract translation: 本文提供了一种照明的显微外科器械，其包括显微外科器械，其具有布置成在外科手术部位处理患者组织的管状构件，所述管状构件具有远端尖端，内表面和外表面。 内表面限定内腔。 外表面具有形成在其中的凹口。 照明的显微外科器械还包括布置成将光传送到手术部位的光纤。 光纤包括近端，该近端布置成接收来自光源的光束，并且还包括被配置为发射与远端尖端相邻的光的弯曲远端。 弯曲的远端的一部分定位在凹口内并且远离管状构件弯曲。

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods are disclosed that include an optical fiber adapted to emit light along an axial length of an exterior cylindrical surface of the optical fiber. The optical fiber may emit the axially-emitted light over a narrow radial angle δ, such that the axially-emitted light functions in a manner similar to a slit lamp to enhance visibility of nearly transparent structures within the eye. The axially-emitted light may be produced such that no portion of the light is directed in a proximal direction, thereby preventing a portion of the light from being directed at a surgeon.
Abstract translation: 公开了包括适于沿着光纤的外圆柱形表面的轴向长度发光的光纤的系统，装置和方法。 光纤可以在窄的径向角δ上发射轴向发射的光，使得轴向发射的光以类似于裂隙灯的方式起作用以增强眼睛内几乎透明的结构的可视性。 可以制造轴向发射的光，使得光的一部分不被引导到近端方向，从而防止一部分光被引导到外科医生。
