Surgical graspers must be safe, not to damage tissue, and effective, to establish a stable contact for operation. For conventional rigid graspers, these requirements are conflicting and tissue damage is often induced. We thus proposed novel soft graspers, based on morphing jaws that increase contact area with clutching force.

Abstract
Surgical graspers must be safe, not to damage tissue, and effective, to establish a stable contact for operation. For conventional rigid graspers, these requirements are conflicting and tissue damage is often induced. We thus proposed novel soft graspers, based on morphing jaws that increase contact area with clutching force.File in questo prodotto:
