Systems And Methods For Persistent Ureter Visualization
Patent No. EP3997710 (titled "Systems And Methods For Persistent Ureter Visualization") was filed by Stryker on Jul 10, 2020. The application was issued on Feb 12, 2025.
Patent Summary
System for persistent visualization of a feature of interest in tissue during medical procedures, particularly laparoscopic surgery, using a combination of continuous imaging and periodic imaging modalities. The system continuously captures images of the tissue using a primary imaging modality, while periodically capturing images of the feature of interest using a secondary imaging modality. When the secondary modality is active, both images are displayed and stored together. When the secondary modality is inactive, stored images are retrieved and displayed with newly acquired primary images, enabling persistent visualization of the feature of interest.
