20200397456, Dec 24, 2020
Filed:
Sep 4, 2020
Appl. No.:
17/013311
Inventors:
- Austin TX, US
- Houston TX, US
Taeho JANG - Houston TX, US
Yongman PARK - Houston TX, US
Jeihan LEE - Houston TX, US
Hongmin KIM - Houston TX, US
Kihoon NAM - Gwangmyeong, KR

International Classification:
A61B 17/29
A61B 34/00
A61B 90/30
Abstract:
Provided herein is a mechanism to controllably move a wire within a flexible tubular member, the wire including opposed wire ends extending outwardly of a proximal end of the flexible tubular member, comprising a drive mechanism and a coupling located between the drive mechanism and the wire end, wherein movement of the coupling in the direction of the wire end results in opposed motion of the wire end.

US Patent:
20200315645, Oct 8, 2020
Filed:
Dec 20, 2018
Appl. No.:
16/495038
Inventors:
- Austin TX, US
- Houston TX, US
Taeho JANG - Houston TX, US
Yongman PARK - Houston TX, US
Jeihan LEE - Houston TX, US
Hongmin KIM - Houston TX, US
Kihoon NAM - Houston TX, US
Seokyung HAN - Houston TX, US
International Classification:
A61B 17/29
A61B 34/00
A61B 90/30
Abstract:
Provided herein as an end effector for a surgical apparatus including a housing having an outer wall and an opening therein, and opposed first and second walls extending along opposite sides of the opening, a first actuator pivotally coupled to the first wall of the housing, a second actuator pivotally coupled to the second wall of the housing, and a coupling disposed within the opening of the housing and between at least a portion of the first and second actuators, the coupling including opposed first and second ends, each end pivotally coupled to a different one of the first and second actuators. To operate the actuators, a mechanism to controllably move a wire within a flexible tubular member, the wire including opposed wire ends extending outwardly of a proximal end of a flexible tubular member and a portion therebetween end connected to a actuator of the end effector is provided, and it includes a drive mechanism and a coupler extending between the drive mechanism and the wire end, wherein movement of the coupling in the direction of the wire end results in opposed motion of the wire end.
