RISReview of Kinematics for Minimally Invasive Surgery and Tele-Echography Robots
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper deals with the survey of kinematic structures adapted to specific medical robots: minimally invasive surgery (MIS) and tele-echography. The large diversity of kinematic architectures that can be found in medical ...
Replication and Substitution of Anatomic Stabilizing Mechanisms in a Total Knee Design
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: While the majority of the total knees used today are of the cruciate retaining (CR) and cruciate substituting (PS) types, the results are not ideal in terms of satisfaction, function, and biomechanical parameters. It is ...
Design and Evaluation of a Robotic Device for Automated Tail Vein Cannulations in Rodent Models
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Preclinical testing in rodent models is a ubiquitous part of modern biomedical research and commonly involves accessing the venous bloodstream for blood sampling and drug delivery. Manual tail vein cannulation is a ...
Design of an Open-Source Binary Micromultileaf Collimator for a Small Animal Microradiotherapy System
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) is performed on a regular basis in the clinic to create complex radiation fields to treat cancer, but it has not been implemented in microradiotherapy (mRT) for preclinical ...
Design of a Novel, Adjustable Flow Rate, Reusable, Electricity-Free, Low-Cost Syringe Infusion Pump
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: We present a proof-of-concept design and preliminary data to demonstrate a novel syringe infusion pump that is low cost, nonelectric, reusable, and adjustable. This device addresses the need for infusion therapy in low- ...
Design, Development, and Validation of an Intra-Osseous Needle Placement Guide
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Intra-osseous (IO) needles are an easy and reliable alternative to intravenous (IV) access in the prehospital and emergency settings for treating patients in shock. The advantage of utilizing an IO is that secure, ...
Surface and Thermal Characteristics of Single-Use Electrosurgical Pencils After Clinical Reuse and In-Hospital Reprocessing
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Safety and efficacy issues are associated with reprocessing of single-use electrosurgical pencils (EPs), requiring methods for assessing the reprocessing protocol before clinical reuse. This study aimed at monitoring the ...
Isometric Finger Device for Assessment and Training of Force Coordination Using Virtual Reality
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Grasping of stroke patients is often affected by improper coactivation of muscles controlling the fingers. The restoration of hand function therefore represents an important goal in rehabilitation. ...
