The Galen ES (see Figure 1 and Figure 2) is a cooperatively-controlled surgical assistant platform (i.e., designed to be controlled by direct user interaction with the surgical instrument), intended to assist in the manipulation of the Integra Jako Micro Laryngeal Alligator Forceps (Integra Part# 3731042 serrated 9.0mm, straight 9.25 inch (235 mm)) (see Figure 3). NOTE: The Integra Jako Micro Laryngeal Alligator Forceps will not be provided with the system. The Galen ES is designed to work with the surgeon by sensing the physical forces and movements applied by the surgeon to the Integra Jako Micro Laryngeal Alligator Forceps connected to the Galen ES and successively moving the instrument in a manner consistent with the forces applied.
