Smart surgical sutures using soft artificial muscles.

Scientific reports
Wound closure with surgical sutures is a critical challenge for flexible endoscopic surgeries. Substantial efforts have been introduced to develop functional and smart surgical sutures to either monitor wound conditions or ease the complexity of knot...

Mechanical characterization of bone anchors used with a bone-attached, parallel robot for skull surgery.

Medical engineering & physics
Bone-attached robots and microstereotactic frames, intended for deep brain stimulation and minimally invasive cochlear implantation, typically attach to a patient's skull via bone anchors. A rigid and reliable link between such devices and the skull ...
