Description

LASER ALIGNMENT DEVICE AND METHOD
TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The invention is related to a device and method that allows the physician to better understand the asymmetry of the area to be with symmetrical laser light lines in surgical or non-surgical interventions in the health sector.
KNOWN STATE OF THE ART (PRIOR ART)
In surgical operations performed in the known state of the technique, traditional surgical methods are used without using systems containing specific and advanced software and hardware. In this case, the success of the operation becomes directly dependent on the experience of the surgeon. In addition, the risk of asymmetric results is quite high in examinations and operations whose asymmetry is not really clear.
In the current system, marking/punctuation is performed on the region to be studied with the help of a pen. In this case, there are situations such as inability to understand true asymmetry, deletion of pen marks during examination/operation, or lack of symmetrical marks. Problems such as repeating the operation leave both the patient and the surgeon in a difficult position.
The patent document TR 2017/14898, which belongs to the known state of the art, is about an alignment device used in arthroplasty (An orthopedic surgical procedure in which the articular surface of the musculoskeletal joint is altered, remodeled, or rearranged by osteotomy or other procedure) operations. The aforementioned alignment device includes a laser marker pointing to the joint axis and midpoint references, a measurement kit, a hand motion sensor that allows operation without hand contact, and software that determines the actual axes and points according to computer tomography images. An alignment device is described that is specific to the patient and can detect real arthroplasty midpoints. In this document, there is no process of projecting a single laser beam to the other side, which will be processed by taking symmetry.
Another invention related to the known state of the technique, patent document US 2011218543 Al, relates to an alignment technique developed using a laser in surgical operations. The cross-hair laser is used to ensure alignment along the two vertical axes. Another structure of the invention has visible alignment indicators. It can also be used to determine the distance to an anatomical feature or landmark (laser distance measurement system) in visible alignment indicators. The electronic control unit, which is one of the elements of the invention, can project laser beams to a target, and the sensor inside the surgical orientation device can detect the laser beam coming from the target, and thus arrangements can be made. The "cross-hair laser" used in the document in question are the beams sent where two beams are crossing each other at a midpoint. Copying the beam to the other part where the operation will take place does not occur and there is no symmetrical use of the beam.
Another invention for patent document US 7390089 B2, which belongs to the known state of the technique, relates to a device developed to create the desired alignment between the patient's eye and the laser system. There is a reference marker based on the laser system to provide alignment between the eye and the laser system. After the received images and images are transferred to the system controller, the measurements compared with the alignment are processed. Another goal of the invention is to provide a device and method for aligning and connecting a patient's eye with a laser system without damaging the eye. In the invention related to the patent document in question, the laser alignment process is performed automatically. But there is no process in which the laser beam can be reflected/ copied on the other side after it is marked on one side where the operation will be performed.
As a result, a new device is needed to overcome the known state of the technique and eliminate the disadvantages.

In this detailed explanation, the subject of invention innovation is explained only in order to better understand the subject, with examples that will not have any limiting effect on the claims of the patent.
Thanks to the device developed together with the invention, the doctor's more controlled operation is provided during the examination/ operation with symmetrical and synchronously moving laser light lines on both sides of the reference light. As the laser light used remains continuous and constant, it provides full symmetrical control during the inspection/operation.
The laser alignment device in question includes the device Body (1), Light/Beam Source (2), the power source (3), the fixing device (4), the on/off Key (5), the reflector (6), which allows the beam from the light/beam source to be simultaneously reflected/copied and moved synchronously on both sides of the reference light, and the control keys (7), which guide the light/beam sources (2).
The device in question may be a light/beam Source (2) Laser or a reflected beam that spreads to the environment or the patient's face. The battery is used as the power source (3). Power supply (3) can also be wired at the same time. Control of the laser alignment device can be done by remote control, touch panel, motion sensor or manually.
Inside the device Body (1) mentioned in the invention is a beam/ light reflector (6) that allows the Beams/ rays coming out of the beam/beam Source (2) to be transferred to the patient's face or to the desired area to be used. In this way, the resulting beam/light falls to the desired area. The power key (5) is positioned on the device Body (1). Depending on the user's request, the control panel and instrument panel (dashboard) can also be added to the system. Again, in the same way, the control keys (7) located on the device Body (1) function to direct beam/light sources to the desired area, select their direction. The power supply (3) is positioned inside the device housing. But optional wired use option is also available. Power supply (3), reflector (6), beam/light source (2) are positioned inside the device Body (1). In Figure- 1, representative numbering was made to show that it is in the device Body (1).
Fixing apparatus (4) allows the device to be fixed in an area close to the area to be treated or to the head of the patient to be treated. In this way, stability is provided in the reflected beam/lights.
Figure- 1 shows the laser alignment device developed together with the invention in question. Figure-2 shows the device application on the face. Figure-3 shows a flow chart to better explain the method developed together with the device. It shows the beam/light reference line called la, and the beam/light called lb shows the beam/light lines that are copied to both sides of the reference light and can move simultaneously.
The Laser alignment device can be used especially in the health sector and in sectors such as textiles, machinery and general industry if necessary.
The laser alignment process for the invention in question is carried out with the following process steps.
• Fixing the laser alignment device to an area or head,
• The beam coming out of the light source (laser, etc.) to be brought to the point/region to be referenced,
• Determination of reference point,
• Copying the same light brought next to the reference point to the other side of the reference point thanks to the reflector (6).
The above-mentioned reflector (6) allows the beam (laser) located next to the reference point to be copied to the other side. Mirror, encoder or gear mechanism can be used to realize the reflection. The number of lasers can also be increased by increasing the number of reflectors (6) and light/beam sources (2).
In another construction of the invention, the instrument panel can also be used. Functions such as on/off can be controlled from the instrument panel.
In this invention, there is software that helps copy the (laser) beam
The invention also has a measurement system to calculate the distance between the Rays and the reference point, which can move simultaneously on both sides of the middle reference line. Along with the mentioned System, the distance of the reference line and lateral rays to each other can also be determined. The measured distance is reported to the user. This process can also be done using the encoder, electronic measurement or mechanical measurement module.
