Summary:A medical tubular assembly includes four medical coilpipes together having a distal end portion insertable into a patient. The four medical coilpipes include a central coilpipe and three peripheral coilpipes disposed outward of the central coilpipe. The four medical coilpipes are wound from a continuous length of wire. In one example, a lengthwise translatable medical-end-effector activation cable is located in the central coilpipe, a separate and lengthwise translatable medical-instrument-member articulation cable is located in each of the three peripheral coilpipes, and the distal end portion is endoscopically insertable into the patient. Other examples are left to those skilled in the art.
