Modularer, in einer Ebene symmetrisch schwenkbarer, miniaturisierter Gelenkmechanismus für die Anwendung in der Medizin

摘要

The mechanism (2) described enables hindrances to be overcome, since it can be manipulated so as to develop considerable force. The mechanism consists of a plurality of component links (4) arranged in succession. Each link consists of two parts (5, 6), a pivot element (5) and a coupling element (6). The links of the articulated mechanism are forcibly actuated. Once a position of articulation has been adopted, it can be maintained under load. The articulated mechanism can thus be produced with very small dimensions and can therefore be used for surgery with minimal invasive effect.
