Low-friction, small profile medical tools having easy-to-assemble components

This invention describes a specific method for putting together a small, low-friction medical tool. It details how to install a flexible cable, called a tension member, into a rotating part of the tool. The method involves carefully positioning the cable through internal guide paths and securing it in a designated pocket within the tool's link.

Why it matters: Precision manufacturing or robotic assembly advances simplify this method.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
