Increased usable instrument life for telesurgical systems

The invention relates to an increased usable instrument life for a telesurgical system. A telesurgical system operates in a first mode of operation and a second mode of operation. In a first operating mode, the movable component is driven within a first range of operating parameters. In a second operating mode, the movable component is driven in a second range of operating parameters that is less than the first range. As a result of operating within the second range, the useful life of the instrument is extended by reducing mechanical degradation of the movable part. A surgeon may select any one of the modes of operation. 本申请题为"远程手术系统的增加的可用器械寿命"。一种远程手术系统在第一操作模式和第二操作模式下操作。在第一操作模式下，在操作参数的第一范围内驱动可动部件。在第二操作模式下，以操作参数的小于第一范围的第二范围来驱动可动部件。由于在第二范围内操作，通过减少可动部件的机械性能退化，从而延长了器械的可用寿命。外科医生可以选择任何一种操作模式。
