  • Patent number: 11337603
    Abstract: Devices used during minimally invasive surgery (sometimes called minimal access surgery or laparoscopic surgery) for implantation and fixation of various cameras, for example, to the human body. An insertable device including a housing divided into two sections, a camera, a sensor, at least two LED lights, a lens flush located above the camera lens to clean a lens of the camera, and a motor for moving the camera in relation to the housing with pan and tilt capabilities. An insertion tool for inserting devices including a cannula, a top housing, and a bottom, wherein the bottom couples with the insertable device. A capture and fixation device for capturing and fixing an insertable device to an internal body cavity wall, the device includes a cannula, at least one slideable clamp device, and a retractable loop. Once the insertable device is positioned, the retractable loop fixes the insertable device to the body cavity wall.
