项目摘要

Key-hole surgery is an advancing field that seeks to reduce trauma associated with surgical procedures, by delivering devices that fit through tiny incisions. Highly complex procedures can be carried out inside confined body cavities, obtaining the best possible view and navigating the surgical field is a key challenge. Smart Surgical (SS) has developed a visualisation product to facilitate navigation in key-hole surgery. Part of this platform is a disposable needle light guide "LG", with an integrated lens, that distributes light and illuminates the body cavity. However, a core challenge is scaling the current LG with respect to manufacturing and material composition. The applicant is limited by currently available production & material processes. At one extreme are very low cost methods to produce plastic LGs (used for consumer products) and at the other extreme are “high-end” glass LGs that have excellent optical performance but are very costly. Equally, both provide no integrated lens to control/condition the distribution of light output. The applicant wishes to broaden the field to develop a middle ground, a high optically efficient polymer LG at very low unit cost with integrated conditioning optics. The LG will aid key-hole surgery, associated medical sectors, and wider industrial applications.

钥匙孔手术是一个先进的领域，它寻求通过提供能够穿过微小切口的设备来减少与手术相关的创伤。高度复杂的手术可以在受限的体腔内进行，获得尽可能好的视野和导航手术领域是一个关键挑战。Smart Surgical(SS)开发了一种可视化产品，以方便锁孔手术中的导航。这个平台的一部分是一个一次性针形导光器“LG”，带有一个集成的透镜，它可以分布光线并照亮体腔。然而，一个核心挑战是在制造和材料组成方面扩大目前的LG。申请者受限于目前可用的生产和材料工艺。一种极端是成本非常低的方法来生产塑料LG(用于消费品)，另一种极端是具有出色光学性能但非常昂贵的“高端”玻璃LG。同样，两者都没有提供集成透镜来控制/调节光输出的分布。申请人希望拓宽领域，以开发具有集成调节光学的非常低的单位成本的中间基础、高光学效率的聚合物LG。LG将帮助钥匙孔手术、相关医疗部门和更广泛的工业应用。
