The Evolution of Surgical Instruments

The History and Evolution of Surgical Instruments

Surgical instruments are not only illustrative of the changes in operative therapy, but may well serve as a framework around which can be built a representation of the development of medical culture. This, in an abbreviated form, Dr. Thompson has done, using the collection of which he is curator in the Royal College of Surgeons of England as a nucleus. This material, which was particularly rich...

Load sensing surgical instruments.

Force and pressure sensing technology applied to smart surgical instruments as well as implants allow to give a direct feedback of loads to the surgeon lead to better reliability and success of surgical operations. A common technology used for sensors is low-cost piezoresistive thick-film technology. However, the standard thick-film firing conditions degrade the properties of medical alloys. In...
