  • Publication number: 20220233260
    Abstract: A surgical tool includes a shaft, a treatment portion provided at a distal end of the shaft, and a body provided at a proximal end of the shaft. The body includes a driven portion that moves in direction parallel to the shaft, based on a first driving force from a surgical robot. A wire or rod that is connected through the shaft to the treatment portion. A lever that converts the first driving force to a second driving force, the second driving force being different from the first driving force, and a connection portion that is connected to the lever and to the wire or rod, and that transmits the second driving force to the wire or rod.

  • Publication number: 20220211456
    Abstract: In a surgical tool, a cord-shaped element transmits a movement of a driven portion to a working portion. A rotor has a circumferential surface around which the cord-shaped element extending from the driven portion to the working portion is wound. A first and a second supporting portion support the rotor such that the rotor is movable in relation to one or both of the driven portion and the working portion. A rotational shaft includes a first end securable to a first supporting portion, and supports the rotor such that the rotor is rotatable about a rotational axis thereof. A securing portion is arranged between a second end of the rotational shaft and the second supporting portion. A position of the securing portion relative to the rotational shaft is changeable in a rotational axis direction. The securing portion is securable to the second supporting portion.

  • Publication number: 20220160447
    Abstract: A medical robot system including a memory and a central processing unit that performs operations including receiving measurement signals of forces measured at two or more points on one or both of a surgical tool and a slave device that supports the surgical tool, generating image information for displaying information of the forces as images in association with the two or more points at which the forces are measured, based on the measurement signals, and outputting the image information that is generated to a display device that displays the image information in a second display region of the display device which is different from a first display region of the display device in which information on operation of the surgical tool is displayed.

  • Publication number: 20220160446
    Abstract: A surgical tool includes a driven portion, a cord-shaped element, and a rotor. To the driven portion, a driving force is transmitted from an external portion. The cord-shaped element transmits a movement of the driven portion. The rotor has a circumferential surface around which the cord-shaped element extending from the driven portion is wound. The circumferential surface includes two or more grooves arranged side by side in a direction of a central axis of the rotor so that the cord-shaped element is windable therearound, and at least one cut-out portion connecting adjacent grooves among the two or more grooves so that the cord-shaped element is placeable through the adjacent grooves.
