Abstract
A surgical instrument for robotic surgery includes a tendon-actuated articulating end, an actuating tendon, and a backend portion having an elongated transmission body movable along a longitudinal direction coinciding with or parallel to a longitudinal extension axis of the elongated body. A first resting wall forms a first resting part for a first transversal side of the elongated body. A second resting part is for a second transversal side, opposite to the first transversal side, of the elongated body. The actuating tendon is operatively connected to the elongated body and is operatively connected to a return element. The elongated body includes on the first side thereof a first lateral surface which slidably rests against the first resting wall; the elongated body includes on the second side a second lateral surface which slidably rests against the second resting part.
