Makoto NOKATA, Ritsumeikan University, nokata@se.ritsumei.ac.jp Hitomi Furuoya, Ritsumeikan University, Laparoscopic surgery becomes popular as minimally invasive surgery. It is important to develop a functional forceps for more delicate operation. In this study we have designed and developed a laparoscopic surgical forceps with high rigid bending joint. The tip joint has 3 degrees of freedom which are grasping, rotating and bending. The bending motion has been produced by linear slide of two half-outside pipes. Both feasibility and effectiveness of this forceps were verified experimentally.
