Publication number: 20230301502Abstract: An apparatus for performing a medical examination is disclosed. The apparatus includes a mounting interface configured to couple to a smartphone including a camera and illuminator. A depressor blade has a proximal end demountably attachable to the mounting interface and configured to displace a patient's tongue to provide access for illumination of a patient's pharynx by the illuminator, thus facilitating capture of an image of the pharynx by the camera. An otoscope attachment has a proximal end demountably attachable to the mounting interface, the ostocope attachment terminating in a speculum shaped for insertion into a patient's ear. One or more optical elements are disposed on the ostocope attachment and are configured to direct illumination provided by the illuminator into the patient's ear, thus facilitating capture of an image of the patient's ear by the camera.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 21, 2023Publication date: September 28, 2023Inventors: Reiza Rayman, Michael Konstantine Lavdas, Meghan Leigh Thorne

Patent number: 9033998Abstract: A robotic system for use in Minimally Invasive Surgery (MIS) is provided that, in various aspects of this specification, comprises at least one elongated shaft known as the robotic arm. In certain aspects, the robotic arm is provided with an independent roll wrist mechanism, which can allow for imparting the roll motion to the end effectors while mitigating or potentially eliminating the need of rotating the entire robotic arm, thus ensuring independent movement of end effectors. The independent movement of the end effectors sweeps a considerably smaller conical volume, as compared to that swept by the entire robotic arm, thereby reducing the likelihood of collisions with neighboring tissues or organs.Type: GrantFiled: May 12, 2011Date of Patent: May 19, 2015Assignee: Titan Medical Inc.Inventors: Uwe Schaible, Jeffrey Allan Veltri, Amin Ahmadi Bidhendi, Reiza Rayman, Alexander Shvartsberg

Patent number: 6358196Abstract: A novel magnetic retraction system is provided herein. The magnetic retraction system includes magnetic means for applying a magnetic field around a defined area of the magnetic retraction system. An articulatable support is provided for such magnetic means. The magnetic means includes an upper (North) magnetic pole. A lower (South) magnetic pole is induced in the intestine of a patient into which has been introduced a magnetic or magnetizable material. The induced lower pole is spaced a selectable spaced distance from the upper (North) magnetic pole. The upper pole may have its strength and/or the orientation of its magnetic field varied to adjust and/or to manipulate the intestine.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 1999Date of Patent: March 19, 2002Inventor: Reiza Rayman

Patent number: 5593379Abstract: An improvement is provided in a method for carrying out laparoscopic surgery on an intestine of a patient. The improvement includes establishing discrete magnetic zones within the intestine by having the patient ingest a magnetic medium. An electromagnetic field which can be focused and translated around the patient is induced by means of a particularly-described electromagnet. Poles of the magnetic medium which is within the intestine is attracted to a pole of the electromagnet. The intestine is manipulated by suspension, or retraction, or lengthwise translation of the entire intestine which in a segment-by-segment fashion by the essential step of selectively focusing and translating the electromagnetic field by way of manipulation of said upper electromagnet pole.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 1995Date of Patent: January 14, 1997Assignee: Surgery Futures Research, Inc.Inventor: Reiza Rayman

Patent number: 5529568Abstract: A novel operating table system is provided herein. The operating table system includes a table formed of non-magnetic material. A support is provided for such table. Magnetic means are provided for applying a magnetic field around a defined area of the table. The magnetic means includes one pole below the table and a second pole disposed a selected spaced-distance above the table. The second pole includes controls for selectively focusing and translating the electromagnetic field by way of manipulation of the second pole.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 1994Date of Patent: June 25, 1996Assignee: Surgery Futures Research, Inc.Inventor: Reiza Rayman
