    Abstract: A low-friction medical device includes a first link, a second link, and a tension member. The first link is coupled to an instrument shaft and a first guide path is defined in the first link. The second link is rotatable relative to the first link through an angular range. A distal end portion of the second link is rotatably coupled to a tool member. A curved guide path is defined within the second link between the tool member and the first guide path. A curved guide surface of the second link defines a portion of the second guide path. A first portion of the tension member is parallel to a centerline of the first guide path, and a second portion is coupled to the tool member. A third portion of the tension member between the first and second portions is in contact with the curved guide surface throughout a portion of the angular range.

    Abstract: A teleoperated surgical system including a rigid cannula and a surgical instrument is provided. The rigid cannula may include at least a portion having a curved longitudinal axis. The teleoperated surgical system may include a force transmission mechanism configured to engage a patient side manipulator of the teleoperated surgical system, a flexible shaft, and an end effector coupled to the shaft. The end effector may have a shape enhancing visibility of the end effector and/or enhancing visibility of procedures performed with the end effector. Further, the shape of the end effector may enhance grasping of objects. The end effector may comprise a pair of jaws. At least a portion of each jaw may have a curved longitudinal axis. A surgical instrument and a teleoperated surgical system including a surgical instrument and a needle are also provided.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for computer-assisted systems using robotic technology are described. For example, this disclosure describes systems and methods that can be used in various contexts such as, but not limited to, minimally invasive computer-assisted tele-operated surgery using robotic technology. The disclosure describes instruments and mechanisms for actuating and controlling the motions of such instruments. The instruments and actuator mechanisms may be used in medical operations and non-medical operations.

    Abstract: An apparatus includes a housing, a cable guide, a first cable, and a second cable. The housing is coupled to a shaft of a medical instrument. The cable guide is coupled to the housing, and defines a shaft opening into a passageway defined by the shaft. A first guide groove and a second guide groove are defined by the cable guide, with each of the first guide groove and the second guide groove being splayed outward from the shaft opening. The first cable is routed within the first guide groove and through the shaft opening, and is configured to slide within the first guide groove. The second cable is routed within the second guide groove and through the shaft opening, and is configured to slide within the second guide groove.
