  • Patent number: 11883125
    Abstract: Provided is a microscope drape capable of further facilitating an attachment operation thereof to a surgical microscope. A microscope drape comprises: a lens cap attached to and detached from a housing of an objective lens of a surgical microscope; a protective lens protecting the objective lens; and a drape main body covering the surgical microscope. The lens cap is formed such that a portion in a circumferential direction of a cylinder is opened, and has an arc-shaped cross section perpendicular to an optical axis of the objective lens. The microscope drape includes: a protective lens holder that is a cylinder whose outside diameter is larger in size than an inside diameter of the lens cap in a natural state and holds the protective lens; and a joint that pivotably supports the protective lens holder with respect to the lens cap around a pivot axis perpendicular to the optical axis.

  • Patent number: 11877820
    Abstract: A microscope drape capable of further facilitating an attachment operation thereof to a surgical microscope while keeping a clean condition. The microscope drape includes: a lens cap that is attached to and detached from a housing of an objective lens of a surgical microscope; a protective lens that is attached to the lens cap with being tilted with respect to an optical axis of the objective lens to protect the objective lens; and a drape main body that covers the surgical microscope. The drape main body includes: a bag-shaped portion having a bag shape whose one end is formed to be an opening, to which the lens cap is attached; and a band-shaped portion that extends to form a band shape from a portion in a circumferential direction of the opening of the bag-shaped portion.

  • Patent number: 11493755
    Abstract: A microscope drape with a structure in which a distance between an objective lens and a surgical field is appropriately set includes: a lens cap attached to or detached from a housing of an objective lens of a surgical microscope; a protective lens attached to a distal end of the lens cap in a state of being inclined with respect to an optical axis of the objective lens to protect the objective lens; a drape body attached to an outer periphery of the protective lens to cover, together with the lens cap, the surgical microscope; and a joint that supports the protective lens with respect to the lens cap so as to change an inclination angle of the protective lens with respect to the optical axis.

  • Publication number: 20220331040
    Abstract: Provided is a camera drape which enables easy replacement of a rigid endoscope during a surgical operation while suppressing deterioration in the quality of video. A camera drape comprises: a spacer that is arranged between an endoscope-side lens of a rigid endoscope and a camera-side lens of a camera head; and a drape body that is attached to the spacer and covers, among the rigid endoscope and the camera head, only the camera head. The spacer includes a clamping plate having a through hole that faces the endoscope-side lens and the camera-side lens in a state where the spacer is clamped between an eyepiece unit for supporting the endoscope-side lens and an endoscope connection unit for supporting the camera-side lens.

  • Patent number: 11338973
    Abstract: A binding tool includes: a flexible strip-shaped belt; a head connected to a base end of the belt and including a through hole through which the belt wound around an object is inserted; a plurality of ratchet teeth protruding from a front surface of the belt at positions spaced apart in an extension direction; and a plurality of ratchet claws locking the plurality of ratchet teeth inserted through the through hole, wherein the head has, on one side in a width direction, a slit through which the belt can be inserted or removed, and the plurality of ratchet teeth and ratchet claws are inclined such that each of one end portions thereof on the one side in the width direction is on a downstream side of the extension direction as compared with each of the other end portions thereof on the other side in the width direction.

  • Patent number: 11185398
    Abstract: An interdental brush realizing reuse of parts by a simple structure includes a shaft portion including an internal passage which extends in an axial direction and of which distal end and base end are opened; and a brush on which fibers are implanted over an entire area of a core that is longer than extension length of the internal passage. The shaft portion further includes a grip portion of which a state is changed between a gripping state for gripping the brush, which has been inserted into the internal passage from an opening on a base end side and of which a part protrudes from an opening on a distal end side, to restrict the brush from moving in the axial direction, and a releasing state for releasing gripping of the brush to allow the brush to move in the axial direction.
