Design, simulation and first test of an automatic suturing device coupled to a robot
Objective: Robotic assistants are becoming a very helpful tool for surgeons. As forthe suturing procedure, several commercial devices assist the physician in suturing.However, such devices have not yet been coupled to a robot assistant in order toperform sutures fully automatically. This could contribute to a procedure that isoften routinely performed but requires time and dexterity.Materials and methods: This article presents the adaptation of a commercialmanual suture gripper, the Medtronic Endo Stitch, to a Universal Robots UR3 robot.The gripper was modeled in SolidWorks, as well as a motorized coupling device,which were simulated in CoppeliaSim. Once its proper functioning was verified, thedevice was fabricated in a 3D printer and coupl... Ver más
