A pantograph expander tool uses a Bowden cable to separate tissue structures via radial expansion.
An XYZ platform moves a robotic unit along X, Y, and Z axes while slidable shutters cover the interior during motion.
A medical instrument tool head uses convexly curved rolling surfaces to articulate relative to an elongated shaft.
An offset pulley arrangement maintains drive element tension across multiple joints, reducing instrument exchange time and setup complexity.
A magnetic field-based surgical system transmits motion commands from an external master assembly to a distal instrument tip without physical linkages.
Segmented wedges prevent buckling and deformation of flexible instruments during minimally invasive procedures.
Integrated control system synchronizes medical imaging capture with robotic catheter actuation for precise percutaneous device positioning.
