Reporters obtained the following quote from the background information supplied by the inventors:“From the prior art, surgical instruments are known which can be guided manually or by a robot and andwhich have tools whose tool tip can be pivoted by means of a plurality of pivot members engaging in oneanother. These pivot members are connected to a multiplicity of steering wires or steering cabl es in orderto achieve delicate control of the tool tip.
