The MediVision Laparoscope is intended to be used by qualified physicians to provide access, illumination and visualization of body cavities, hollow organs and canals during closed, or minimally-invasive surgical procedures. These include, but are not limited to, laparoscopic procedures, such as cholecystectomy, colon resection or therapeutic thoracoscopy applications with appropriate thoracoscopic cannulas. The Laparoscope may be attached to hand-held camera so that the surgical area may be effectively visualized by the physician on a remote color monitor. The Laparoscope is designed to pass through standard laparoscopic and thoracoscopic cannulas to gain access to the subject surgical site.
An endoscope with a rigid inserted portionangulus iridocornealis for the visual examination and treatment of the abdominal/retroperitoneal cavity and its organs. It is inserted through an incision made in the abdominal wall (routinely just below the umbilicus) during laparoscopy. Anatomical images are transmitted to the user by the device through relayed lens optics or a fibreoptic bundle. The abdominal wall is distended, typically using a gas, providing the space to allow the surgeon to view and/or operate on the exposed organs. This reusable device is commonly used to evaluate/treat abdominal or pelvic pain, ectopic pregnancy, ovarian cysts, appendicitis, and perform female sterilization.
