Summary: | An instrument port includes an elongated shaft, a flexible shaft, a steerable tip, a handle, and a working tube. The elongated shaft extends along a shaft axis. The flexible shaft is attached to a distal end of the elongated shaft, the flexible shaft configured to bend only within a pivot plane that is defined by the shaft axis and a pivot axis that is orthogonal to the shaft axis. The steerable tip is attached to the distal end of the shaft, the steerable tip extending along a tip axis. The handle is attached to a proximal end of the elongated shaft, the handle including a lever in mechanical communication with the flexible shaft to adjust a customizable angle of the steerable tip measured between the shaft axis and the tip axis. The working tube is disposed in the elongated shaft and flexible shaft. |
