Abstract
Telescoping structures are commonly available in trocar or keyhole procedures, guidewire catheterization procedures and steerable concentric tube robots. We envision a new design involving a combination of hollow foldable concentric tubes for deployability, bistable structures, and tendon-driven mechanisms that allow for more types of movements. The tips can be made replaceable to use in multiple procedures. This design concept can enable an automatic tongue-depressing swab collector to reduce reliance on healthcare workers during the pandemic.
