Abstract:
A treatment-tool driving device being attached to a treatment tool provided with at least one pair of tensile-force transmitting members and driving the treatment tool by tensile forces imparted to the tensile-force transmitting members, wherein the device includes: movable members being individually attached to one ends of the individual tensile-force transmitting members; a driving source generating a motive power with which the treatment tool is driven; a motive-power transmitting mechanism switching between coupling and decoupling between the driving source and the movable members, and transmitting, in a coupled state, the motive power from the driving source so as to selectively impart tensile forces to the two movable members attached to the paired tensile-force transmitting members; and a biasing portion biasing the two movable members in directions in which tensile forces are imparted to the tensile-force transmitting members in a state in which coupling by the motive-power transmitting mechanism is released.
Abstract:
A medical instrument according to the present invention includes an end effector that fulfills a predetermined function, a motor unit that generates power for driving the end effector, a transmission member that is connected to the end effector and the motor unit so as to transmit the power to the end effector, a tension holding portion that has a tension generation portion and a tension pulley which is connected to the tension generation portion and which comes into contact with the transmission member the tension pulley being configured to move such that tension applied to the transmission member in a predetermined magnitude, and a switch that can fix a position of the tension pulley.
Abstract:
A surgical tool holding device that holds a plurality of surgical tools includes: a flexible insertion section having a distal end and a proximal end and configured such that a surgical tool channel into which the plurality of surgical tools are inserted is formed; a driving section configured to advance and retract each of the plurality of surgical tools inside the surgical tool channel; an operating section configured to manipulate the plurality of surgical tools; and a controller configured to control an amount of protrusion of the surgical tool protruding from a distal end of the surgical tool channel, from the surgical tool channel.
