Abstract
An adjustable marker reference device for identifying surgical instruments includes a base, an upper cover, a set of connecting rods, markers and a fixing button. The base has a first groove, and the upper cover has a second groove. The set of connecting rods is disposed between the base and the upper cover, and has two movable ends and a pivot point. The fixing button extends through the first groove, the pivot point and the second groove. When the fixing button is pressed, the set of connecting rods can freely bring the pivot point to slide along the first groove and the second groove. When the fixing button is not pressed and the pivot point is fixed at one of default positions, the set of connecting rods is fixed. As the set of connecting rods is fixed, virtual lines between any two of the markers meet specific conditions.
