Abstract
A medical manipulator includes: a manipulator body that has a handle; a drive unit that can be detachably attached to the handle and has a drive source; a guide mechanism that guides the movement of the drive unit when the drive unit is attached to or detached from the handle; a motive force-transmitting coupling that has a driving member and a driven member, and transmits the drive force from the drive source to the handle side; and an electrical connection mechanism that electrically connects the handle and the drive unit when the drive unit is mounted to the handle.
