    摘要: Anti-buckling devices for supporting flexible elongated members are described herein. In one variation, an anti-buckling device includes a first coupler for coupling to a first device, a second coupler for coupling to a second device that is configured to position a catheter member, a first set of support members coupled between the first coupler and the second coupler, and a plurality of holders coupled to the support members, the holders configured for supporting the catheter member, wherein the first set of support members form a support frame that can be extended by moving the first and second couplers away from each other, and can be collapsed by moving the first and second couplers towards each other.

    摘要: A robotic surgical system configured to perform minimally invasive surgical procedures. In one variation, this robotic surgical system includes an instrument driver configured to steer an elongate instrument of an instrument assembly in one or more degrees of motion. A drape is disposed between the instrument driver and the instrument assembly. A drive interface apparatus is operatively coupled to the drape. The drape and drive interface apparatus may form a fluid barrier between the instrument driver and the instrument assembly. Drive interface apparatus may be disposed on a top surface of the instrument driver and on a bottom surface of the instrument assembly. The drive interface apparatus may transmit torque from the instrument driver to the instrument assembly. The input torque drives a pulley in the instrument assembly that operates one or more control wires to steer an elongate instrument of the instrument assembly for performing minimally invasive surgical procedures.

    摘要: Configurations for simulation of motions or movement in a health training mannequin for teaching purposes are disclosed. A seizure simulation apparatus is configured to be housed separately from but interfaced with a health training mannequin to induce oscillatory motion symptomatic of a neurological seizure or similar disorder in the mannequin. In one embodiment a system comprises a motion inducer comprising a housing, an interface structure, and an actuator, wherein the interface structure is coupled to the actuator, movable relative to the housing, and configured to interface with a portion of a health training mannequin to induce oscillatory motion in at least one portion of the health training mannequin. In another embodiment a method comprises interfacing a portion of a health training mannequin with an interface structure, the interface structure being coupled to an actuator and movable relative to a housing coupled to the actuator, the housing not being housed within a portion of the health training mannequin. Various hardware configurations are presented.

    摘要: Robotic instrument systems, apparatus, and methods for controllably manipulating the rigidity of a distal portion of one or more sheath catheters advanced through an elongate sheath to controllably form a temporary, substantially rigid platform from which other robotically controlled instruments may be manipulated. The platform is formed by one or more multi-segment sheath catheters that can be controlled to be flexible during advancement and substantially rigid at the target site, thereby reducing the length of the operational lever arm of the instrument. For this purpose, a sheath catheter includes a plurality segments that interlock and do not rotate when drawn together, and are connected by a control element, the tension of which may be manipulated by a robotic instrument system to transform the sheath catheter between a flexible state during advancement through the elongate sheath and a substantially rigid state when the sheath catheter is to serve as a platform or component thereof.
