    Abstract: In one aspect, a light module is disclosed, which includes a housing providing a hollow chamber extending from a proximal end to a distal end, and a lens positioned in the hollow chamber, where the lens has a lens body comprising an input surface for receiving light from a light source and an output surface through which light exits the lens body, said lens further comprising a collar at least partially encircling said lens body. The light module further includes at least one shoulder on which the lens collar can be seated for positioning the lens within the housing. A light source, e.g., an LED, is coupled to the hollow chamber, e.g., at its proximal end, for providing light to the lens. In some embodiments, an optical window is disposed in the hollow chamber and is optically coupled to the output surface of the lens such that the light exiting the lens passes through the optical window before exiting the light module. In some embodiments, the shoulder can be formed as part of the housing. In other embodiments, the shoulder can be provided by a sleeve disposed in the module's housing.

    Abstract translation: 在一个方面,公开了一种发光模块,其包括提供从近端延伸到远端的中空腔室的壳体以及定位在中空腔室中的透镜,其中透镜具有 包括用于接收来自光源的光的输入表面和输出表面,光通过该输出表面射出透镜体,所述透镜进一步包括至少部分地环绕所述透镜体的套环。 发光模块还包括至少一个肩部,透镜套环可以安置在该肩部上以将透镜定位在壳体内。 光源(例如LED)耦合到中空腔室(例如,在其近端),用于向透镜提供光。 在一些实施例中,光学窗口设置在中空腔室中并且光学耦合到透镜的输出表面,使得离开透镜的光在离开光模块之前穿过光学窗口。 在一些实施例中,肩部可以形成为壳体的一部分。 在其他实施例中,肩部可以由设置在模块壳体中的套筒提供。

    Abstract: An illumination system for illuminating a lumen within a body of a patient comprising a tube having a proximal end and an opposed distal end and an internal chamber, the tube being configured for placement within a lumen of the body. The system also includes an illumination subsystem including an optical fiber that is sized and configured to seat within the internal chamber of the tube and a light source for generating light that is emitted by the fiber optic cable. The optical fiber, when mounted within the tube and when the light source generates light, emits light at the distal end of the tube so as to transilluminate the lumen and surrounding tissue so as to be able to locate the distal end of the tube within the lumen of the patient.

    Abstract: In one aspect, a handheld lighting system is disclosed, which comprises a handheld housing extending from a proximal end to a distal end, and a light module disposed at least partially in the housing. The handheld lighting system further includes a removable and replaceable power module that is coupled to the housing (e.g., it is at least partially disposed within the housing) and is electrically coupled to the light module, e.g., through a pair of electrical leads, for providing electrical power thereto. Light intensity from the light module may be controlled from a knob on the power module. Various adapters can allow the lighting system to attach to a multitude of medical, industrial, dental or veterinary endoscopes or other instruments.
