Abstract:
An instrument includes, a lumen, a handpiece affixed to the proximal end of the lumen and including an actuator, a proximal articulable segment, the proximal end of the proximal articulable segment pivotably attached to the distal end of the lumen, an actuation cable extending from the actuator through the lumen and into the proximal articulable segment, and a cable router having a proximal knuckle assembly having a proximal segment knuckle affixed to the proximal end of the proximal articulable segment, a lumen knuckle affixed to the distal end of the lumen, and a proximal hinge pin knuckle positioned about the proximal hinge pin, wherein the cable is bent against the proximal segment knuckle, the lumen knuckle and the proximal hinge pin knuckle when the proximal articulable segment is generally parallel with the lumen.

Abstract:
An instrument includes, a lumen, a handpiece affixed to the proximal end of the lumen and including an actuator, a proximal articulable segment, the proximal end of the proximal articulable segment pivotably attached to the distal end of the lumen via a proximal hinge pin extending in a direction generally perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the lumen, an actuation cable extending from the actuator through the lumen and into the proximal articulable segment, and a cable router comprising a proximal pulley assembly rotatable about the proximal hinge pin, wherein the cable is wrapped about the proximal pulley assembly.
