Abstract: The invention describes a support apparatus (1) comprising a support made of deformable material (10) and at least 3 proximity sensors (Spi; i=1..n) fixed to the support (10), wherein the proximity sensors (Spi; i=1..n) are adapted to generate reference signals (Si; i=1..n) defined as a function of a detected radial reference (RRADJ). The invention also describes a device for detecting the current position (POSACT) of a surgical instrument (100) comprising the support apparatus (1 ). The invention further describes a functional assembly (200) comprising a surgical instrument (100) and the device for detecting the current position (POSACT). The invention also relates to a method for detecting the current position (POSACT) of the surgical instrument (100).
