Robotic bi-polar instruments

This describes a robotic surgical tool designed to attach to a larger robotic system. It features an elongated shaft with an end effector, like forceps, at its tip. The tool's housing receives commands from the robotic system's motor, which then pulls a cable to open the end effector's jaws, either by pivoting a link or by sliding a pin in a slot.

Why it matters: Advancements in precision additive manufacturing since 2020 could simplify the production of complex internal mechanisms, potentially lowering costs for these specialized surgical tools.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedPrecision mechanics, surgical materials, robotic interface
