    摘要: A control system for an elongate member actuated via a pull wire comprises a chassis fixable in place relative to the elongate member during use and a pulley carried by the chassis, the pulley having a first pull wire-supporting surface structurally configured to support the pull wire, the pulley being rotatable about a first axis. The system further comprises a wall carried by the chassis and a capstan carried by the chassis and rotatable about a second axis aligned at an orthogonal angle relative to the first axis, the capstan having a second pull wire-supporting surface that permits the pull wire to wrap around the capstan, wherein the wall extends circumferentially around the capstan and includes a slit through which the pull wire extends.

    摘要: In one representative embodiment, a gripping and pushing device for a medical instrument comprises an elongated main body defining a lumen. The elongated main body comprises one or more deflectable portions that can be pressed radially inwardly toward a shaft of the medical instrument extending through the lumen. One or more elastomeric gripping layers can be secured to the inner surface of a respective deflectable portion at axially spaced apart attachment locations. The one or more gripping layers are axially deformable relative to the one or more deflectable portions between the attachment locations when manual pressure is applied to the one or more deflectable portions to press the one or more gripping layers against the shaft and move the shaft longitudinally into a patient's body.

    摘要: An insertion instrument includes an insertion portion, a tubular member that rotates about a longitudinal axis by a transmitted driving force, a flange portion that holds a position of the tubular member at an outer periphery of the insertion portion, a tapered portion having an outer diameter that gradually decreases toward a proximal end side, and an adhesive layer formed to smoothly connect a proximal end portion of the tapered portion and an outer periphery of the insertion portion.
