摘要:A hydraulically actuated medical instrument includes an elongated shaft havingproximal and distal ends, a hydraulically actuated end effector at the distal end of theshaft and a fluid flow path extending through the shaft to the end effector. The endeffector may be directly manually operated by way of a handle located at the proximal
end of the shaft or remotely, for example, via robotic controller. Articulation joints maybe provided along the shaft, between the shaft and end effector or handle, or elsewhere.The hydraulic actuation of the present invention permits multiple axis instrumentarticulation, miniaturization and simplified instrument fabrication.
