An electromechanical surgical system is disclosed including a hand-held surgical instrument, an end effector configured to perform at least one function, and a shaft assembly arranged for selectively interconnecting the end effector and the surgical instrument. The shaft assembly includes a linkage having a proximal housing and a distal housing at least partially received within the proximal housing. The distal housing is rotatable relative to the proximal housing and configured to selectively interconnect the end effector to the shaft assembly. The shaft assembly further includes a wire extending through the linkage having a central portion disposed within an annular groove defined between the proximal and distal housings. The central portion of the wire is annularly wound within the annular groove to define a coil. The coil is configured to at least one of radially expand and contract upon rotation of the distal housing relative to the proximal housing.

An object is to solve problems associated with a stretchable wire member that includes, for example, a garment with stretchable wires formed thereon, that is, to solve the problems of wrinkles and undulations that often occur after the garment is stretched. A stretchable wire member includes a fabric; a base layer disposed on a surface of the fabric; a conductive layer disposed in part of the fabric, the conductive layer being on a surface of the base layer; and a protective layer covering the conductive layer. In the stretchable wire member, an elastic modulus E′3 of a multilayer body portion including the fabric, the base layer, and the protective layer ranges from 1 MPa to 6 MPa.

A sheet-shaped conductive member includes: a base material; a resin layer; and a pseudo sheet structure in which a plurality of conductive linear bodies are arranged at an interval, wherein each of the conductive linear bodies has a wavy shape in a plan view of the sheet-shaped conductive member, and in a direction orthogonal to an axial direction of the conductive linear bodies, any adjacent ones of the conductive linear bodies differ from each other in at least one of a wavelength, amplitude, phase or thickness.

Provided are a stretchable wire tape for a textile that can maintain high levels in all of stretchability, electrical conductivity, durability, an insulating property, and design and can also have a reduced production cost, wearable devices, and a method for producing textiles having wires. The stretchable wire tape for the textile includes a stretchable electrically conductive wire, and stretchable insulating films each including a first face and a second face opposite to the first face, the stretchable insulating films being bonded to opposite sides of the stretchable electrically conductive wire on their first faces. Since the stretchable insulating films are bonded to the opposite sides of the stretchable electrically conductive wire via bonding layers, durability and an insulating property can be secured while stretchability and electrical conductivity of the electrically conductive wire can be maintained, and design can also be improved.
