摘要: An articulated arm is disclosed which can be used to firmly support and position a variety of medical tools, including surgical or diagnostic instruments flexibly in space. Though some its sub-assemblies may computer controlled, thus autonomous accordance pre-programmed sequence, manual control also possible. When are suitably controlled using software, with suitable cutting instrument, the capable generating barrel shape cavity or, for that matter, any desired (or treatment volume) within work envelope arm. The ideal focal point dynamically variable as required, either respect tool absolute frame reference, during an intervention. A type intervention minimally invasive surgery (MIS). Apart from resection), arm, by virtue robotic nature, perform such tasks biopsies radiation seed implantation, where positional accuracy repeatability highly desirable. universal assisted holder wide range particular endoscopes urological disorders.
