Instrumentation with Embedded Imaging Systems

摘要

A medical instrument includes a shaft having a proximal end, a distal end and a longitudinal axis, and a working member at the distal end of the shaft and having a first arm and a second arm, wherein each of the first and second arms has a proximal end and a distal end, and wherein at least of the first and second arms pivots relative to the longitudinal axis of the shaft. The medical instrument further includes a first diagnostic device positioned in the first arm adjacent the distal end of the first arm, a second diagnostic device positioned in the second arm adjacent the distal end of the second arm, and a third diagnostic device positioned adjacent the proximal ends of the first and second arm.
