Surgical visualization systems and displays

This invention describes a medical device that helps surgeons see during operations. It uses an electronic screen inside a box, and a special lens system takes the image from the screen, processes it, and projects it as a focused, parallel beam out of an opening. The claims specifically describe this lens system as being able to fold the light path using a mirror.

Why it matters: Filed before significant advancements in micro-display resolution and compact, high-precision optical manufacturing. These improvements could now enable a smaller, higher-quality device.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
