Minimally invasive device and system

This invention describes a system for performing minimally invasive surgery. It features an outer tube, called a first device, which can be steered and has an opening at its tip. Inside this outer tube, a second device, such as a surgical tool, can be inserted and pushed out, with its tip also potentially steerable. The system is designed to be motorized for precise control of both devices and includes a support frame and rail for stability.

Why it matters: Filed before significant advancements in compact, high-precision surgical robotics and miniature motor control systems. The ability to integrate complex steerable mechanisms with advanced motor packs and sophisticated control electronics has improved considerably.
