Articulating medical instruments

This invention describes a medical tool with a long, flexible shaft that can bend and articulate at a specific section, like a wrist. The bending is controlled by small motors located within a handle at the tool's base. A separate handle allows the user to slide the entire shaft in and out, providing both precise articulation and depth control for surgical procedures.

Why it matters: Advances in micro-motors and control systems improve feasibility for complex, motor-driven articulating instruments since 2019.
