Flexible operation tool system capable of passing through natural orifice

Abstract

The invention relates to a flexible operation tool system capable of passing through a natural orifice. The flexible operation tool system comprises a flexible operation tool and a driving unit, wherein the flexible operation tool comprises a flexible continuum structure composed of a far-end structure body, a near-end structure body and a middle connecting body, the far-end structure body comprises a far-end structure joint, the far-end structure joint comprises a far-end distance plate, a far-end fixed plate and a structure skeleton, the near-end structure body comprises a near-end structure joint, the near-end structure joint comprises a near-end distance plate, a near-end fixed plate and a structure skeleton, the middle connecting body comprises a channel fixing plate and a structure skeleton guiding channel, the driving unit comprises a driving unit fixing plate, multiple driving shafts are rotatably supported between the driving unit fixing plate and the channel fixing plate close to the near-end structure joint, a mooring rope pulling mechanism is arranged at the front end of each driving shaft and is in fastened connection with a mooring rope fixing block by penetrating through the near-end distance plate and the mooring rope of the near-end fixed plate, the mooring rope fixing block is in fastening connection with the near-end fixed plate, and the length of the mooring rope located in the near-end structure joint is changed through the mooring rope pulling mechanisms when the driving shafts rotate.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a flexible surgical tool system capable of passing through a natural cavity, belonging to the field of medical instruments. Background technique [0002] Porous laparoscopic minimally invasive surgery has occupied an important position in surgical operations because of its small incision and fast postoperative recovery. The existing Intuitive Surgical company's da Vinci surgical robot assists doctors to complete multi-hole laparoscopic minimally invasive surgery, which has achieved great commercial success. [0003] After multi-port laparoscopic surgery, minimally invasive surgery has developed single-port laparoscopic surgery and non-invasive surgery through natural orifice, which are less invasive to patients and have higher postoperative output. However, in single-port laparoscopic surgery and non-invasive surgery through the natural orifice, all surgical instruments, including the visual lighting module and surgical operat...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Since the wire rope must be kept in a continuous tension state through the pulley, this driving method is difficult to achieve further miniaturization of surgical instruments, and it is also difficult to further improve the movement performance of the instruments

[0004] Although Intuitive Surgical recently launched the da Vinci Single-Site surgical robot, which transforms the original rigid surgical instrument into a semi-rigid surgical instrument, and adds a pre-bent sleeve, which improves the movement performance of the surgical instrument to a certain extent, but Still unable to fundamentally solve the problems faced by traditional surgical instruments
