The FlexiLap laparoscopic forceps is a versatile and innovative medical device designed to address the
challenges of longer surgery wait times, reduced recovery time, patient anxiety, and high dexterity required
for complex procedures. Inspired by advanced research in soft robotic actuators and control models, this device
aims to reduce the number of incisions required during surgery while improving overall patient outcomes. The
device features a flexible actuated shaft inspired by snake motion, interchangeable forceps heads, and a built-in
camera and LED light for better motion-to-display synchronization. The onboard display improves accuracy and
control, and the suction and irrigation system eliminates the need for separate tools. This device offers extended
accuracy, control, and multi-functionality, making it a unique solution for laparoscopic surgery
