Overcoming the Force Limitations of Magnetic Robotic Surgery: Magnetic Pulse Actuated Collisions for Tissue‐Penetrating‐Needle for Tetherless Interventions

Year: 2022

Type: article

Abstract: Medical Robotics Robot miniaturization and magnetic forces scale inversely. Providing strong magnetic forces at small scales is a critical challenge for miniature magnetic robots in minimally invasive applications. The presented MPACT-Needle generates 22.7-fold higher forces without increasing the size of the untethered magnetic needle. This allows magnetic needles to penetrate deep in tissues for suturing, drug delivery, and biopsy.
