Abstract
A surgical instrument includes distal and proximal tube sections and a coupling that couples the distal tube section to the proximal tube section. The coupling includes first and second connector portions coupled to one of the distal tube section and the proximal tube section. The first and second connector portions are selectively engageable and disengageable with respect to each other and each include selectively engageable fixing members. The distal and proximal tube sections are rotationally fixed to each other when the fixing members of the second connector portion are engaged with the fixing members of the first connector portion. The distal and proximal tube sections can rotate relative to each other when the fixing members of the second connector portion are disengaged from the fixing members of the first connector portion.
