Abstract

A calibration device includes a calibration member, a handle, a fixing button, and a plurality of first markers. The calibration member includes a calibration body and a calibration groove. The calibration body has a first side and a second side opposite to the first side. The calibration groove is formed on the first side. The handle has a grip portion, and is adjacent to the first side and detachably disposed above the calibration groove. A calibration opening is formed between the handle and the first side. The fixing button is movably arranged in the handle, and has a fixing portion extending toward the calibration groove. The plurality of first markers are disposed on the second side. When the fixing button is pressed, a surgical instrument inserted into the calibration opening is held between the fixing portion and the calibration groove.

Claims (20)

1. A calibration device, comprising:

a calibration member including:

a calibration body having a first side and a second side opposite to the first side; and

a calibration groove formed on the first side;

a handle having a grip portion, wherein the handle is adjacent to the first side and detachably disposed above the calibration groove, and a calibration opening is formed between the handle and the first side;

a fixing button movably arranged in the handle, wherein the fixing button has a fixing portion extending toward the calibration groove; and

a plurality of first markers disposed on the second side;

wherein, when the fixing button is pressed, a surgical instrument inserted into the calibration opening is held between the fixing portion and the calibration groove.

2. The calibration device according to claim 1 , wherein the calibration groove has:

a first groove surface;

a second groove surface disposed adjacent to the first groove surface, wherein an angle is formed between the second groove surface and the first groove surface; and

a stop surface disposed on an opposite side of the calibration opening, wherein the stop surface is adjacent to the first groove surface and the second groove surface.

3. The calibration device according to claim 2 , wherein the surgical instrument inserted into the calibration opening is held among the first groove surface, the second groove surface, the stop surface, and the fixing portion.

4. The calibration device according to claim 3 , wherein the fixed button includes:

a button body having a pressing surface and an abutting surface opposite to the pressing surface, wherein, through the abutting surface, the fixing portion abuts against the surgical instrument that is inserted into the calibration opening; and

an elastic member, wherein the elastic member is disposed between the button body and the handle, such that the button body is movably arranged in the handle.

5. The calibration device according to claim 4 , wherein the surgical instrument inserted into the calibration opening further includes a plurality of second markers.

6. The calibration device according to claim 1 , wherein the calibration body further has a first side surface and a second side surface disposed between the first side and the second side, the first side surface is opposite to the second side surface, a plurality of calibration through holes are formed on the first side surface, and the plurality of calibration through holes penetrate through the calibration body and extend toward the second side surface.

7. The calibration device according to claim 6 , wherein the calibration member further includes a base plate disposed near the second side surface, and the surgical instrument inserted into one of the calibration through holes abuts against the base plate.

8. The calibration device according to claim 6 , wherein cross-sections of the plurality of calibration through holes are circular-shaped, and have different diameters from each other.
