Improved end effector mechanisms for a surgical instrument used in minimally invasive surgical instruments as well as instruments for general surgery or as part of robotically controlled end effectors. These end effector mechanisms include multiple grasping elements paired with drive links. Each grasping element also serves as a stabilizing link for the next most distal grasping element, forcing it to maintain its relative angle with respect to the opposing grasping elements.

L'objet de la présente invention concerne des mécanismes d'éléments terminaux perfectionnés pour instruments chirurgicaux utilisés sur des instruments chirurgicaux peu invasifs ainsi que sur des instruments utilisés en chirurgie générale ou encore en tant qu'éléments terminaux commandés robotiquement. Ces mécanismes d'éléments terminaux comprennent des éléments de préhension multiples associés à des maillons d'entraînement. Chaque élément de préhension sert également de lien stabilisateur à l'élément de préhension encore plus distal, ce qui le contraint à maintenir son angle relatif par rapport aux éléments de préhension opposés.
