Abstract

This paper presents a new design for instruments for use in minimally invasive surgery (MIS). The proposed mechanism features an end-effector based on a four-bar linkage, along with a hand-held device and a joint. The proposed instrument is operated using a bending motion identical to conventional bendable instruments, eliminates undesired motions.
