MEDICAL TREATMENT IMPLEMENT

摘要

A medical treatment implement including: a shaft extending along a longitudinal axis; a housing having distal and proximal portions, a proximal end of the shaft being attached to the distal portion of the housing to extend from the distal to the proximal portion, the elongated shaft being rotatable about the longitudinal axis relative to the housing; an effector attached to a distal end of the shaft, the effector articulating relative to the longitudinal axis; a drive mechanism having an output connected to the effector to articulate the effector relative to the shaft; and an input unit attached to the housing at a position closer to the proximal portion than the distal portion, wherein the input unit receives an operation input and directly inputs the drive mechanism in response to the input, wherein the input unit rotates about the longitudinal axis together with the shaft relative to the housing.

1. A medical treatment implement comprising:
an elongated shaft configured to extend along a longitudinal axis; a housing comprising a distal portion and a proximal portion, a proximal end of the elongated shaft being attached to the distal portion of the housing such that the longitudinal axis extends from the distal portion to the proximal portion, wherein the elongated shaft is configured to be rotatable about the longitudinal axis with respect to the housing; an end effector attached to a distal end of the elongated shaft, wherein the end effector is configured to articulate with respect to the longitudinal axis of the elongated shaft; a drive mechanism having an output connected to the end effector, the drive mechanism configured to articulate the end effector with respect to the elongated shaft; and an articulation control input unit attached to the housing at a position closer to the proximal portion than the distal portion, wherein the articulation control input unit is configured to receive an operation input and directly input the drive mechanism in response to the operation input, wherein the articulation control input unit is configured to rotate about the longitudinal axis together with the elongated shaft with respect to the housing.
