Design of a mechanical clutch-based needle-insertion device.
Insertion of trocars, needles, and catheters into unintended tissues or tissue compartments results in hundreds of thousands of complications annually. Current methods for blood vessel cannulation or epidural, chest tube, and initial trocar placement often involve the blind pass of a needle through several layers of tissue and generally rely on distinguishable anatomic landmarks and a high degr...
متن کاملA Force Feedback Teleoperated Needle Insertion Device for Percutaneous Procedures
A novel robotized tool for percutaneous interventions under CTscanner guidance is presented in this paper. This teleoperated compact robotic device can be used as an end-effector for an imageguided positioning robot. It is fully compatible with computed tomography constraints. In particular, it is able to manipulate needles that are longer than the overall height of its body. This novel device ...
متن کاملEpidural Needle Insertion Simulator A device for training resident anaesthesiologists
To my parents, my sister, and to my wife Epidural anaesthesia is a form of medication injected through patients back into the epidural space of the spine. It is most commonly administered during childbirth and for pain relief following lower body surgery. The procedure involves insertion of a Tuohy needle and a catheter is guided through it into the epidural space 1. Anaesthesiologists insert t...
متن کاملCases of blunt needle in Nexplanon® insertion device.
I have used both the Implanon (discontinued October 2010) and the new Nexplanon in practice since 2006. Only recently did I notice that during fitting one particular batch of Nexplanon (195129/312993) was slightly harder to both puncture the skin and then advance the needle. I do not routinely use a scalpel blade to facilitate fitting and neither do I anaesthetise along the track. I was able to...
