Patent number: 11324475Abstract: Disclosed are devices, systems and methods for providing sterile and cost-affordable handheld surgical devices with tactile operable controls. In some aspects, a surgical device includes a surgical probe including a probe detector and a set of operable controls; an exterior shell casing including an opening at one end leading to an interior cavity structured to have a size and shape to fit the surgical probe within and position the probe detector in a first region and a handle of the surgical probe in a second region, in which the first region of the exterior shell casing is configured to be inserted into an incision of a patient's body and the second region is configured to provide a user of the surgical device utilization of the operable controls of the surgical probe through the exterior shell casing; and a cap attachable to the exterior shell casing to close the opening.Type: GrantFiled: May 25, 2018Date of Patent: May 10, 2022Assignee: Faxitron Bioptics, LLCInventor: Richard L. Conwell

Patent number: 11199632Abstract: Apparatus, techniques and systems are described for facilitating identification of a target area during a probe-guided radio-localization surgical procedure. The described apparatus, techniques and systems can be used to implement a nuclear-uptake mode controller integrated into a probe to allow a user to instantly switch between multiple nuclear-uptake modes directly from the probe hand-piece. For example, a nuclear-uptake mode controller integrated into the probe can be used to instantly switch between a high-sensitivity nuclear-up-take mode and a high-resolution nuclear-uptake mode to effectively identify the target area in the presence of interfering nuclear signals by better matching the probe's nuclear detection parameters to a search task for that target area.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2019Date of Patent: December 14, 2021Assignee: FAXITRON BIOPTICS, LLCInventors: Stephen Yarnall, Joel Kindem, Richard Conwell
