Problems solved by technology

These features and disks are also prone to fracture along the axial length of the tube, leading to exposure of the tendon in the interventional area and potential injury
[0006] Thus, one problem with known fabrication methods of thin-walled wire-actuated flexible manipulators is that the tendon-guiding features of the manipulator are fabricated to not adequately protect the tendon along the length of the device, adversely affecting the inner or outer diameter and / or requiring additional components and / or processing steps to manufacture

Embodiment Construction

[0099] figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a surgical device used during bronchoscopic intervention according to an embodiment of the first aspect of the present invention. A flexible bronchoscope 100 is inserted into the right lung 101 through the patient's mouth. The flexible bronchoscope 100 enters the tertiary bronchioles 110a. The outer diameter of the flexible bronchoscope 100 is too narrow to proceed further into the lung 101 , for example into the fourth order bronchioles 110b or the fifth order bronchioles 110c. To access the higher bronchi, a flexible manipulator 104 housed within the flexible bronchoscope 100 is manipulated or controlled by the operator and guided through the fourth order bronchi 110b into the fifth order bronchi 110c. The proximal end of the flexible manipulator 104 is attached to the flexible shaft 102 along the path traversed by the flexible manipulator 104 . Both the flexible shaft 102 and the flexible manipulator 104 include an instrument cha...

Abstract

A surgical device (204) comprising a first tube (232) having an axis (233) and a wall with a channel extending axially within the wall, the first tube comprising a plurality of integrally-formed interlocking segments (234).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a surgical device for use in minimally invasive surgical procedures and a method for manufacturing the surgical device. In particular the invention relates to a flexible elongated robot for bronchoscopic interventions and a method of manufacturing a robot for bronchoscopic interventions. The surgical device can also be used in other applications, and the method can also be used to make similar devices with different applications. Background technique [0002] Many minimally invasive surgical procedures (MIS) use flexible tubular guides or soft robots. The flexible tubular device may fit into the working channel of the endoscope and extend into a lumen that is too narrow for the endoscope to reach (which may be an artery, airway, or intestine, for example). [0003] One example of a minimally invasive surgical procedure that may use a flexible tubular device is bronchoscopy (a clinical routine for lung examination). D...
