Project description.

Share this projectFacebookXLinkedIn
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

Your work belongs in the conversation.
