Reconstructive surgery requires high precision, especially when suturing vessels and nerves smaller than one millimeter in diameter. Van Mulken is working to develop a robot that supports these delicate operations. The unique system allows surgeons to operate with submillimeter precision that exceeds the capabilities of the human hand.
Developed by the Microsure initiative together with engineers from the Technical University of Eindhoven, the robot provides stability and minimizes the risks associated with manual surgery. This leads to reduced complications such as poor wound healing and tissue rejection.
The introduction of this technology will not only improve the quality of existing operations, but also accelerate the recovery of patients, allowing them to quickly return to normal life.
