Abstract: A multicatheter subsystem is provided for a steerable catheter robotic system. The subsystem includes a flexible output sheath, a plurality of flexible multi-lumen assemblies and a plurality of robotic instruments for performing a surgical procedure. The plurality of flexible multi-lumen assemblies extends through the outer sheath. Each of the multi-lumen assemblies has a proximal end and a distal end. Each of the robotic instruments is operatively and removably attachable to the distal end of one of the multi-lumen assemblies such that each instrument is teleoperable independently of every other robotic instrument. At least a first of the robotic instruments includes a plurality of interconnected articulating segments. Each of the articulating segments is operatively and removably attachable to a different one of the multi-lumen assemblies.

Abstract: Disclosed are a medical mask apparatus for use in medical procedures and methods of endoscopy. In one aspect, a medical mask apparatus includes a mask material conforming to a patients face along a sealing surface. The medical mask further includes a nose cone with a conically shaped first end and a cylindrically shaped second end, a cap that engages the second end of the nose cone through the mask material, wherein a portion of the mask material is captured at an interface between the nose cone and the cap. There is a valve in the cap, wherein the valve is flexible to expand and allow a medical instrument to pass through the valve. The medical mask also includes one or more attachment straps to hold the medical mask apparatus on the patients face.
