CA 2204844

The present invention provides a method and apparatus for illuminating the region of a body member to be subjected to a surgical procedure by inserting an infrared conducting fiber into the body member, the fiber emitting infrared light energy over a limited range at the precise location where the procedure is to occur. The procedure may involve an organ, a blood vessel, even a nerve. Mechanisms and detectors may be employed to locate the infrared emissions.

La présente invention concerne une méthode et un appareil permettant d'éclairer la région d'un membre du corps où une intervention chirurgicale doit être pratiquée, consistant à insérer dans le membre une fibre conductrice infrarouge, la fibre émettant une énergie lumineuse à infrarouge d'une portée limitée à l'endroit précis où l'intervention doit être pratiquée. L'intervention peut concerner un organe, un vaisseau sanguin et même un nerf. Des mécanismes et des détecteurs peuvent être utilisés pour localiser les émissions de rayons infrarouges.
