    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.

    Abstract: An instrument includes a chassis having a side adapted to be removably mated with a surgical robotic manipulator arm, a transport shaft coupled to the chassis, a valve including a valve channel and a movable valve member, a first robotic actuation piece, and a manual button. An auxiliary channel is defined in the chassis. A cavity extends through the transport shaft and intersects the auxiliary channel, which together define an instrument axis. The valve channel intersects the auxiliary channel. The movable valve member translates across the valve channel along a valve member axis. The robotic actuation piece is coupled to translate the movable valve member along the valve member axis and rotates about an actuation piece axis perpendicular to the valve member axis. The manual button is coupled to translate the movable valve member along the valve member axis and translates parallel to the valve member axis.

    Abstract: A medical device includes a shaft, a beam, a hard stop structure, and a link. A proximal end portion of the beam is coupled to the distal end portion of the shaft and a distal end portion of the beam is coupled to the link. A strain sensor is on the beam. A hard stop structure includes a proximal end portion, a distal end portion, and first opposing stop surfaces. The proximal end portion of the hard stop structure is coupled to a distal end portion of the shaft, and the distal end portion of the hard stop structure is coupled to the link. The first opposing stop surfaces are positioned to limit a lateral range of motion of the distal end of the beam with reference to the proximal end of the beam in a first direction by the first stop surfaces contacting one another.
