Abstract:
A treatment instrument includes a sheath having a longitudinal axis, an end effector provided on one end of the sheath, a housing to which the other end of the sheath is connected, and an operation dial provided to be rotatable relative to the housing around a first rotational axis. The operation dial includes a first outer peripheral surface provided around the first rotational axis, and a second outer peripheral surface spaced apart from the first outer peripheral surface in a direction along the first rotational axis and provided around the first rotational axis.
Abstract:
An endoscope system includes: an endoscope including a bending portion that is capable of bending; a drive device that is detachably connected to the endoscope and drives the endoscope; and an operation device that is communicably connected to the drive device and has an input portion that inputs an operation for driving the endoscope, wherein the drive device can select a method of controlling the bending portion with respect to the operation input from the input portion from fine movement control and coarse movement control, and the distance at which the drive device bends the bending portion by the coarse movement control with respect to a predetermined operation input is larger than the distance at which the drive device bends the bending portion by the fine movement control.
Abstract:
A surgical device includes a housing, a rotator provided on the housing and rotatable about a first axis with respect to the housing, and an operator provided on the rotator and rotatable with respect to the rotator about a second axis intersecting the first axis. The operator includes a spherical band having a spherical outer surface. The spherical band includes an exposed portion which is exposed to the outside of the housing.
Abstract:
An operation device includes a touch panel, a detection unit, and a line drawing determination unit. The touch panel detects a contact position where an object has contacted, and outputs a result of detection. The detection unit detects a trace from a start position of contact to an end position of the contact based on the result of the detection output by the touch panel, and detects a change of an area or a width of the contact of the object with the touch panel from the start position to the end position with time. The line drawing determination unit determines whether a line drawing operation to divide the touch panel by a straight line has been performed based on the trace and the change of the area or the width with time detected by the detection unit.
Abstract:
A task-assistance control apparatus that assists an operator performing a task while viewing a captured task image includes: a task-image acquisition circuit that acquires the task image; and a task determination circuit that determines task details on the basis of the type of a tool detected in the task image and the movement of the tool.
Abstract:
An endoscope includes: an operation portion including a grasping portion configured to be grasped by a user and having a first longitudinal axis; an insertion portion configured to be inserted into a subject, the insertion portion having a second longitudinal axis that has a predetermined acute angle with respect to the first longitudinal axis and extending from the operation portion at a position on a more distal end side with respect to a treatment instrument insertion portion provided at the grasping portion; and a cable including, at an extension end thereof, a connector portion configured to be detachably connected with an external device, the cable having a third longitudinal axis on an extended line of the first longitudinal axis and extending from a distal end side of the operation portion.
