First Claim
1. A medical instrument comprising:
- a controller at least partially housing a plurality of controls;
an elongated conduit operatively coupling the controller to a first joint and a second joint;
a first joint comprising a first member and a second member, the first member configured to be repositionable with respect to the second member in an X-Y plane;
a second joint operatively coupled to the first joint, the second joint comprising a third member and a fourth member, the third member configured to be repositionable with respect to the fourth member in a Y-Z plane perpendicular to the X-Y plane; and
,an occlusion clip deployment end effector operatively coupled to the first and second joints;
wherein the plurality of controls includes a first control operatively coupled to the first joint to control motion of the first member with respect to the second member in the X-Y plane, a second control operatively coupled to the second joint to control motion of the third member with respect to the fourth member in the Y-Z plane, a third control operatively coupled to the occlusion clip deployment end effector to control motion of at least a portion of the occlusion clip deployment end effector, further comprising a closed-ring occlusion clip removably mounted to the occlusion clip deployment end effector, wherein the plurality of controls includes a fourth control to dismount the closed-ring occlusion clip from the occlusion clip deployment end effector.

Abstract
A medical instrument comprising: (A) a first joint comprising a first member and a second member, the first member configured to be repositionable with respect to the second member in an X-Y plane; (B) a second joint operatively coupled to the first joint, the second joint comprising a third member and a fourth member, the third member configured to be repositionable with respect to the fourth member in a Y-Z plane perpendicular to the X-Y plane; and, (C) a controller operatively coupled to the first joint and the second joint, the controller including a first control configured to direct repositioning of at least one of the first member and the second member, and a second control configured to direct repositioning of at least one of the third member and the fourth member.
