Magnetic Continuum Device with Variable Stiffness for Minimally Invasive Surgery

Magnetic Continuum Device with Variable Stiffness for Minimally Invasive Surgery

One of the challenges of minimally invasive surgery is the dexterous manipulation and precise control of small‐diameter continuum surgical instruments. Herein, a magnetic continuum device with variable stiffness (VS) is presented, whose tip is precisely shaped and controlled using an external magnet...
