DEVICE AND SYSTEM INCLUDING MECHANICAL ARMS

摘要

A device sized and shaped for insertion into a body comprising: at least one mechanical limb comprising: a support segment; a first flexible section extending from the support segment and terminating in a coupling section; and a second flexible section extending from the coupling section and terminating in a tool or a connector for a tool; wherein a long axis of one or more of the flexible sections is bendable in a single bending plane; wherein a long axis length of the first flexible section is at least double a maximum extent of the first flexible section perpendicular to a flexible section long axis; wherein a long axis length of the second flexible section is at least double a maximum extent of the second flexible section perpendicular to a flexible section long axis.

1. A medical surgical device sized and shaped for insertion into a body comprising:
at least one elongate mechanical limb including a proximal and a distal end comprising:
a first flexible section, configured to bend only in a single bending plane, and which defines a first flexible section hollow passageway therein; a first bendable torque transfer portion disposed within said first flexible section hollow passageway, where bending of said first flexible portion thereby bends said first bendable torque transfer portion.
