  • Surgical instrument with imaging device
    Patent number: 11744586
    Abstract: A loading unit configured for engagement with a surgical instrument, and including a proximal body portion, an end effector, and an imaging device. The end effector is disposed in mechanical cooperation with the proximal body portion, and includes a first jaw member and a second jaw member. At least one of the first jaw member and the second jaw member is movable with respect to the other of the first jaw member and the second jaw member between an open position and an approximated position. The first jaw member includes a first tissue contacting surface, and the second jaw member includes a second tissue contacting surface. A distal portion of the first jaw member is disposed at a first angle with respect to the first tissue contacting surface. The imaging device is disposed on the distal portion of the first jaw member, and is configured to capture visual data.

  • DETACHABLY MOUNTABLE CAMERA ASSEMBLY FOR A CANNULA ASSEMBLY
    Publication number: 20210315607
    Abstract: A surgical kit includes a cannula assembly and a camera assembly. The cannula assembly includes a cannula housing and a cannula member extending from the cannula housing. The cannula member defines a channel therethrough. The camera assembly includes an insertion member including an elongate shaft including a supporting member extending proximally from a distal end portion of the elongate shaft, and a camera detachably supported on a proximal end portion of the supporting member of the insertion member. The camera is configured to be coupled to an outer surface of the cannula. The camera and the insertion member are dimensioned to be received through the channel of the cannula member.
