Abstract

This invention relates to an ergonomic camera handle for an endoscopic imaging device, comprising: a head (102); a camera window (110); a body (106) conforming to a second portion (220) of a medical practioner's hand (200) and a neck (104) constituting a constricted region between the head (102) and the body being (106) disposed distal to the head (102), and conforming to a first portion (210) of the medical practioner's hand (200) wherein, the head (102) comprises a tapered section at a front surface converging to a circular section at a slot (108) to prevent forward stepping of the first portion (210) of the hand (200), the length of the head, the width of the head at the front surface, and width at the junction of the neck (104) and head (102) being configured with a relationship of 1:1.3:1, the neck (104) attains a minimum cross-section at a point (116) such that a ratio relationship of a bottom width, top width, and lateral width of the neck (104) being maintained at 1:1.5:1.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to a camera handle for an endoscope imaging device, and more particularly to an ergonomic camera handle for an imaging device. Background technique [0002] Minimally invasive procedures or surgery (MIP or MIS), including endoscopic, laparoscopic, endoscopic-assisted or laparoscopic-assisted procedures, are known and offer benefits to the patient, such as limited incisional trauma, reduced pain, limited scarring, fewer hospitalizations and an earlier return to normal functional status. To perform such procedures, endoscopic imaging devices are utilized. A typical endoscopic imaging system includes a monitor, a light source, a power supply, a video processing unit, and an endoscope. Conventionally, medical practitioners hold the endoscope and camera in their hands during surgery. A typical endoscopic procedure may take between 1 / 2-6 hours. Practitioners are required to hold the endoscope throughout the procedu...
