Surgical tool with a selectively bendable shaft and cables that selectively bend the shaft and that, when the shaft is bent, are in tension

A surgical tool with a bendable shaft. At least one inelastic cable and at least one elastic cable extend along the shaft. The shaft moves relative to the body to which the shaft is attached. When the shaft is so displaced, the shat bends around the inelastic cable. The inelastic and elastic cables...

Zusammenfassung:A surgical tool with a bendable shaft. At least one inelastic cable and at least one elastic cable extend along the shaft. The shaft moves relative to the body to which the shaft is attached. When the shaft is so displaced, the shat bends around the inelastic cable. The inelastic and elastic cables cooperate to hold the bendable section of the shaft in compression so the bendable section of the shaft resists deformation.
