Abstract
  • About 8 million surgical procedures are performed in the UK each year, and 234 million worldwide, and have big influence on healthcare expenditures. It is a invasive health treatment, and therefore large part of these costs are associated with hospital stay, during which patient has to stay under close watch of healthcare professionals. One of the ways to reduce these costs could be wider application of current and new, even less invasive Minimally Invasive Surgery techniques, such as Single Incision Laparoscopic Surgery and Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery, what today is potentially limited by lack of suitable instrumentation. Aim of this project is to develop compact laparoscopic suturing device for robotic suturing applications, based on hybrid, Shape Memory Alloy and DC motor actuation technology. The project will involve development of design specification, device CAD modelling, mechanical and thermal analysis of the design, using Autodesk® engineering software and physical prototype manufacturing.
