    Abstract: A system may comprise a connection member configured to be connected to an anatomic orifice device. The anatomic orifice device may be configured for insertion into a patient. The system may also comprise a mounting bracket coupled to a robot-assisted medical system. The mounting bracket may also include a movable mounting component coupled to a fixed mounting component. The movable mounting component may have a first configuration for mounting to the connection member in a first engagement and a second configuration for mounting to the connection member in a second engagement. The connection member may be spaced apart from the fixed mounting component in the first engagement and may be in direct contact with the fixed mounting component in the second engagement.

    Abstract: An apparatus for guiding an elongated flexible instrument comprises a variable-length support assembly including a first end, a second end, a plurality of support member pairs, and a plurality of eyelets movably coupled to at least one support member pair and configured to receive the elongated flexible instrument. The variable-length support assembly is configured to selectively transition from a compressed configuration to an expanded configuration along a longitudinal central axis, and the plurality of eyelets are adapted to support the elongated flexible instrument as the elongated flexible instrument is advanced along the longitudinal central axis. Each of the plurality of eyelets includes a tapered alignment member configured to contact a tapered alignment member of an adjacent eyelet to move the plurality of eyelets into alignment along the longitudinal axis as the variable length assembly transitions from the expanded configuration to the compressed configuration.

    Abstract: An apparatus for guiding an elongated flexible instrument comprises a variable-length support assembly. The variable-length support assembly includes a first end, a second end, a plurality of support member pairs, and a plurality of eyelets configured to receive the elongated flexible instrument. Each support member pair comprises a first support member linked to a second support member, and each of the plurality of eyelets is movably coupled to at least one of the plurality of support member pairs along a longitudinal central axis between the first end and the second end. The variable-length support assembly is configured to selectively transition from a compressed configuration to an expanded configuration along the longitudinal central axis, and the plurality of eyelets are adapted to support the elongated flexible instrument as the elongated flexible instrument is advanced along the longitudinal central axis. Each of the plurality of eyelets includes a tapered alignment member configured to contact a tapered alignment member of an adjacent eyelet to move the plurality of eyelets into alignment along the longitudinal axis as the variable length assembly transitions from the expanded configuration to the compressed configuration.
