The invention provides an articulating mechanism useful, for example, for remote manipulation of various surgical instruments and diagnostic tools within, or to, regions of the body. Movement of segments at the proximal end of the mechanism results in a corresponding, relative movement of segments at the distal end of the mechanism. The proximal and distal segments are connected by a set of cables in such a fashion that each proximal segment forms a discrete pair with a distal segment. This configuration allows each segment pair to move independently of one another and also permits the articulating mechanism to undergo complex movements and adopt complex configurations.
L'invention a trait à un mécanisme d'articulation utile, par exemple, pour manipuler à distance divers instruments chirurgicaux et outils diagnostiques dans ou sur des régions du corps. Le mouvement de segments situés à l'extrémité proximale du mécanisme génère un mouvement relatif correspondant de segments situés à l'extrémité distale du mécanisme. Les segments proximal et distal sont reliés par un ensemble de câbles de façon que chaque segment proximal forme une paire discrète avec un segment distal. Cette configuration permet à chaque paire de segments de se déplacer indépendamment l'une de l'autre, et permet également au mécanisme d'articulation de décrire des mouvements complexes et d'adopter des configurations complexes.
