More Information
Summary:A hand controller apparatus for controlling a tool in a robotic surgery system has a body with a proximal end and a distally located interface end that can be coupled to an input apparatus for controlling a surgical tool. The hand controller apparatus includes a control lever attached to a pivot joint proximate a side surface of the body and extending along the body and away from the proximal end, the control lever being laterally moveable relative to the side surface of the body about the pivot joint. The control lever includes a tail region adjacent to the pivot joint and a paddle region connected to the tail region and extending toward the distally located interface end. The tail region includes an inner surface facing the body and an outer surface opposing the inner surface, and at least part of the outer surface of the tail region is outwardly curved.
