Improvement of a Tunable Stiffness Organ-Grasping Device by Design of a Wavy-Shaped Beam Structure
Tunable stiffness mechanisms can increase the noninvasiveness and stability of organ manipulation in laparoscopic liver resection. We have developed an organ-grasping device using beam-shaped tunable stiffness mechanism. Increasing the change ratio of stiffness will improve the performance of the de...
