Robotic surgical instrument with nested elongated elements
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11872694B2) discloses a robotic surgical instrument with an innovative design. The instrument includes an end-effector assembly with a working member that can pivot about a first axis. It consists of two elongated elements, one affixed to hold the first axis perpendicular to it, and the other coupled to the end effector assembly to pivot the working member about the first axis. These elongated elements are nested together, rotatable, and designed as tubes, with one tube placed within the other. The working member can be a blade or configured for cauterizing tissue, and the instrument may include flexible portions and electrical wires for enhanced functionality.
Moreover, the patent also covers a robotic surgical system incorporating the described instrument. The system comprises a support arm, with the surgical instrument movably coupled to it. The support arm is a robotic arm that can move in response to user input. The working member of the instrument can pivot about the first axis, cauterize tissue, and be coupled to the end-effector assembly via a gear. The system allows for precise surgical procedures with the flexibility of movement and control provided by the robotic arm. Additionally, the instrument may include flexible portions, electrical wires, and nested elongated elements for efficient operation during surgical interventions.
