发明名称 Surgical instrument with adapter for facilitating multi-direction end effector articulation
摘要 A surgical instrument includes a selectively rotatable housing, an adaptor, and a shaft including an end effector. The adaptor is coupled to the housing and is selectively movable between a first position and a second position. The shaft is coupled to one or both of the housing and the adaptor. The end effector is articulable in response to the selective rotation of the housing. The end effector is articulable toward a first direction when the adaptor is positioned in the first position and articulable toward a second direction when the adaptor is positioned in the second position. The first and second directions are different.

主权项 1. A surgical instrument, comprising: a selectively rotatable housing including a body and a seat; an adaptor defining a cavity for receiving the body therein, the adaptor being selectively movable between a first position and a second position with respect to the housing; a shaft having an end effector, the shaft being coupled to at least one of the housing and the adaptor, the end effector being articulable in response to the selective rotation of the housing, the end effector being articulable toward a first direction when the adaptor is positioned in the first position and articulable toward a second direction when the adaptor is positioned in the second position, the first and second directions being different; and a drive assembly coupled to the end effector and the housing, the drive assembly being movable between first and second orientations, the end effector being articulable in the first direction when the drive assembly is positioned in the first orientation and articulable in the second direction when the drive assembly in positioned in the second orientation, the drive assembly having at least two cables, the at least two cables being crossed in one of the first orientation and the second orientation, the at least two cables being uncrossed in the other of the first orientation and the second orientation.
