Abstract
A surgical instrument includes an articulated end having a first support link, a second link articulated with respect to the first support link about a rotation axis, and a transmission cable fixed to the second link. The first support link has at least one first convex ruled surface with straight generator lines all parallel to each other, and a second convex ruled surface with straight generator lines all parallel to each other. The transmission cable is configured to slide on both the at least one first convex ruled surface and the second convex ruled surface of the first support link when the second link rotates with respect to the first support link. The straight generator lines of the at least one first convex ruled surface are orthogonal to the straight generator lines of the second convex ruled surface.
