摘要：
Disclosed is a visualisation instrument comprising a display device, a lens, a camera including an imaging sensor and outputting a digital image stream corresponding to a plurality of views obtained through the lens, and a self-contained energy source powering the display device and the camera. The visualisation instrument further includes a blade comprising an insertable portion integrally formed with a handle portion, the insertable portion insertable into a patient. The insertable portion has a distal cavity at a distal end thereof defined by an anterior wall, a posterior wall opposite the anterior wall, a medial wall, and a lateral wall opposite the medial wall. The insertable portion further includes a translucent cover through which the plurality of views are obtained. The anterior wall extends from the medial wall to form, together with the medial wall, a guide pathway for inserting a tube into the patient. The medial wall and the anterior wall are non-resilient walls. The distal cavity and the guide pathway are arranged laterally to each other to reduce the anterior/posterior height of the insertable portion. The handle portion has a proximal end and a distal and, defining a cavity at its proximal end. The handle portion is sized to be held by a hand of a user. The visualisation instrument also includes a display support non-removably coupled to, and supporting, the display device. The display support is detachably insertable into the handle portion to detachably couple the display device to the insertable portion. Coupling the display device to the insertable portion configures the visualisation instrument to present images corresponding to the plurality of views with the display device.
