    Abstract: A system comprises a handpiece body configured to couple to a proximal end of a medical instrument and a manual actuator mounted in the handpiece body. The system further includes a plurality of drive inputs mounted in the handpiece body. The drive inputs are configured for removable engagement with a motorized drive mechanism. A first drive component is operably coupled to the manual actuator and also operably coupled to one of the plurality of drive inputs. The first drive component controls movement of a distal end of the medical instrument in a first direction. A second drive component is operably coupled to the manual actuator and also operably coupled to another one of the plurality of drive inputs. The second drive component controls movement of the distal end of the medical instrument in a second direction.

    Abstract: A force sensor apparatus includes a tube portion having a plurality of radial ribs and at least one fiber optic strain gauge positioned over each of the plurality of radial ribs. The strain gauges comprise a negative thermo-optic coefficient optical fiber material. A proximal end of the tube portion is operably couplable to a shaft of a surgical instrument and a distal end of the tube portion is proximally couplable to a wrist joint. Optionally, a thermal shunt shell is over an outer surface of the tube portion. Adjacent fiber optic strain gauges with differing thermal responses are used to solve simultaneous equations in strain and temperature to derive strain while rejecting thermal effects.

    Abstract: A force transducer is coupled to a distal portion of a shaft of a surgical instrument. The force transducer includes proximal and distal portions, radial ribs, and a plurality of strain gauges. The radial ribs form a plurality of through passages. The surgical instrument further includes a flush manifold that receives a liquid from a proximal portion of the shaft, and that directs the liquid along a first subset of through passages of the plurality of through passages toward the distal portion of the force transducer. A plenum at the distal portion of the force transducer collects the liquid from the first subset of through passages and redirects the liquid back toward the proximal portion of the shaft along a second subset of through passages of the plurality of through passages different from the first subset of through passages.
