  • Lighting device for surgical purposes
    Patent number: 10292782
    Abstract: The invention relates to a lighting device (100), which is equipped for fastening to a surgical instrument (200) or, by means of adapter (90; 91), to a body part (92), in particular a finger of a surgeon or of an operating room assistant, in order to serve as a light source during a surgical operation, in particular within a body cavity or organ cavity of genuine or traumatic origin and in other body regions that are difficult to access. At least one pin (20) pointing outward from the wall of the housing (10) is arranged on the housing (10) of the lighting device (100) in a wall area (30) directed toward the surgical instrument in the fastening position, which pin has a light emitting opening (40) at the distal end of the pin and is designed for passing through an opening (220) of the surgical instrument or of the adapter (90; 91) and thus establishing a form-closed or force-closed connection to the opening. The pin (20) is preferably movable in order to achieve optimal illumination of the operation site.
