发明名称 Targeted illumination for surgical instrument
摘要 An illuminated surgical instrument has a working area located near an end of the instrument. An array of optical fibers terminates near the end of the instrument. The array of optical fibers is located adjacent to the instrument such that the array of optical fibers provides targeted illumination to the working area only on one side of the instrument.

主权项 1. An illuminated surgical instrument comprising: an instrument with a working area located near an end of the instrument; an array of optical fibers terminating near the end of the instrument, the array of optical fibers located adjacent to the instrument such that the array of optical fibers provides illumination to the working area only on one side of the instrument, the array of optical fibers comprising: a first optical fiber; anda plurality of optical fibers flanking the first optical fiber on opposite sides thereof, the first optical fiber having a diameter larger than the diameters of the flanking optical fibers, the array of optical fibers arranged along the cannula such that the flanking optical fibers have progressively decreasing diametrical sizes away from the first optical fiber.
