3D printing technology: developing the first surgical robot

A few days ago, Eric Barth, an assistant professor of mechanical engineering at Vanderbilt University, and David Comber, a master of engineering, developed a robot that could perform fine surgery using 3D printing technology. It is reported that this surgical robot will be presented at the Fluid Power Innovation and Research Conference held in Nashville this month.

The development of the surgical robot project has now entered the testing phase. Eric Barth, an assistant professor of mechanical engineering, hopes to apply the surgical robot to the clinic within ten years. This surgical robot is specially designed for brain surgery and surgical robots for patients with epilepsy. Some parts are printed by a 3D printer.

At present, patients with epilepsy are treated with more drugs, but this can only control epilepsy without temporary seizures and cannot fundamentally treat epilepsy. In this case, the patient needs to be operated, and the surgical robot is officially used for clinical surgery of epilepsy patients, and a part of the human brain is removed.

It is reported that the surgical robot is composed of a variety of materials, and the surgical needle uses a shape memory alloy. The surgical needle can be deformed and can "remember" its original shape and return to its original shape when heated.

Written in the following words: 3D printing technology has been well used in the medical field, 3D printing is more demanding instrumentation or medical instrument parts clinical medicine is very beneficial. At present, 3D printing technology has many applications in the medical field, such as: 3D printing human organs, 3D printing auxiliary medical equipment . It is hoped that 3D printing technology will be more widely used in the medical field, and it is also hoped that surgical robots will get better and wider use in clinical surgery as soon as possible.

Organic Spirulina powder

Organic spirulina powder is extracted from 100% natural spirulina. Spirulina is neither an animal nor a plant, it is actually a natural freshwater alga. Its protein content is incredibly high. It also contains iron, vitamin B6, and several other micronutrients. Ensuring that micronutrient intake is maintained is very important to ensure optimal physical condition.
