Abstract
The present disclosure includes systems and methods of surgical instruments with multidirectional articulation. The present disclosure includes systems and methods for an integrated steerable instrument. The present disclosure includes systems and methods for a steerable overtube instrument for maneuvering to a treatment site.
Claims23
A surgical instrument comprising:
- an outer tubing extending from a proximal end to a distal end along an axis, the distal end comprising an articulation member of the outer tubing;
- one or more articulation wires extending along the outer tubing and coupled to the articulation member;
- a cutting assembly coupled to the distal end of the outer tubing, the cutting assembly including an outer component and an inner component disposed within the outer component coupled to the articulation member, the outer component defining a cutting window configured to cut material;
- a flexible torque component having a portion disposed within the outer tubing, the flexible torque component coupled to the inner component and configured to rotate the inner component relative to the outer component to cut the material;
- and
- a handle comprising a first actuator to rotate the outer tubing to adjust a position of the cutting window about the axis, the handle including a second actuator coupled to the one or more articulation wires to articulate the articulation member coupled to the cutting assembly away from the axis.

A surgical instrument comprising:
- an outer tubing extending from a proximal end to a distal end along an axis, the distal end comprising a plurality of segments;
- one or more articulation wires extending along the outer tubing and coupled to the plurality of segments;
- a cutting assembly coupled to the distal end of the outer tubing, the cutting assembly configured to cut material from a subject;
- and
- a handle comprising a first actuator to rotate a first component of the cutting assembly about the axis and a second actuator coupled to the one or more articulation wires to selectively articulate at least one of the plurality of segments coupled to the cutting assembly away from the axis.
