Stiffness Modelling and Performance Evaluation of a Soft Cardiac Fixator Flexible Arm with Granular Jamming

Stiffness Modelling and Performance Evaluation of a Soft Cardiac Fixator Flexible Arm with Granular Jamming

To meet the practical application requirements of cardiac fixation during off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery, a soft cardiac fixator with a flexible arm was previously designed. To enable the soft cardiac fixator to adapt to uncertain external forces, this study evaluates the variable-stiffness...
