ABSTRACT:
A support stand for surgical implements is disclosed. The support stand provides an operating environment which is particularly useful for use in laparoscopic surgery. The support stand is compact and includes positionable wrists for providing spherical motion of surgical implements about fixed points which can be made to coincide with incisions in a patient being operated on. Each wrist includes a member pivotally mounted to a support arm. Rotating the member provides rotation about a first axis passing through a fixed point. A surgical instrument holder is connected to the member by a linkage which provides rotation about a second axis passing through the fixed point. The linkage has four pivotally connected links, two of which are bent through an angle to provide precise spherical rotation about the fixed point.
