MEDICAL APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18582964 titled 'MEDICAL APPARATUS
The abstract describes a medical apparatus with a drive source, a bending portion, a linear body to bend the bending portion, and a connecting portion that maintains the state of a protrusion portion in a recess portion based on the forces acting between the members.
- The medical apparatus includes a drive source, a bending portion, a linear body, and a connecting portion.
- The connecting portion adjusts the state of the protrusion portion in the recess portion based on the forces acting between the members.
- When forces are below threshold values, the protrusion portion remains fitted in the recess portion.
- When forces exceed threshold values, the protrusion portion is disengaged from the recess portion.
Potential Applications: - Minimally invasive medical procedures - Endoscopic surgeries - Robotic surgical instruments
Problems Solved: - Maintaining stability in medical instruments during procedures - Enhancing precision and control in bending mechanisms
Benefits: - Improved accuracy in medical procedures - Reduced risk of damage to surrounding tissues - Enhanced maneuverability in confined spaces
Commercial Applications: Title: "Advanced Medical Apparatus for Precision Procedures" This technology can be used in surgical robotics, endoscopy equipment, and other medical devices for enhanced performance and control in various procedures.
Prior Art: Readers can explore prior patents related to medical apparatus, robotic surgery, and endoscopic tools to understand the evolution of similar technologies.
Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in medical robotics, surgical instruments, and endoscopic technologies to leverage the latest innovations in the field.
Questions about Medical Apparatus with Connecting Portion: 1. How does the connecting portion of the medical apparatus enhance precision in procedures? 2. What are the potential implications of disengaging the protrusion portion from the recess portion in the apparatus?
Original Abstract Submitted
A medical apparatus includes a drive source, a bending portion, a linear body configured to bend the bending portion, and a connecting portion in which a first member connected to the drive source and a second member connected to the linear body are connected. The connecting portion is configured such that in a case where a tensile force equal to or smaller than a first threshold value or a compressive force equal to or smaller than a second threshold value acts between the first member and the second member, the state in which a protrusion portion is fitted in the recess portion is maintained, and in a case where a tensile force exceeding the first threshold value or a compressive force exceeding the second threshold value acts between the first member and the second member, the protrusion portion is disengaged from the recess portion.
