  • INTERFACE SYSTEMS FOR AIDING CLINICIANS IN CONTROLLING AND MANIPULATING AT LEAST ONE ENDOSCOPIC SURGICAL INSTRUMENT AND A CABLE CONTROLLED GUIDE TUBE SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20140121678
    Abstract: Interface systems for interfacing between at least one endoscopic surgical instrument and a cable-controlled guide tube system. Various embodiments include at least one surgical tool docking assembly that is supportable relative to the cable-controlled guide tube system. The surgical tool docking assembly may comprise a cable drive assembly that is operably couplable to the cable-controlled guide system for applying control motions thereto. The surgical tool docking assembly may further comprise at least one tool docking station that is configured to support an endoscopic surgical instrument therein for selective pivotal travel about a first axis and a second axis. The tool docking stations cooperate with corresponding drive shafts for imparting rotary drive motions to the cable drive assembly. Various docking arrangements are disclosed for coupling the cable drive assembly to the cable-controlled guide tube assembly.
