用气旋夹持器无接触抓取复杂形状软组织,减少手术损伤风险。

Low-Contact Grasping of Soft Tissue with Complex Geometry using a Vortex Gripper

  • 通过气旋力实现软组织非接触式抓取,避免传统夹具压伤组织
  • 实验验证40种不同曲率表面的抓持力,发现气流参数影响显著
  • 适用于微创手术中精细软组织操作,尤其适合脆弱组织处理

软组织操作是多数外科手术的关键环节,但当前主流手术夹持器多为硬质材料,主要通过两硬物夹捏方式操控组织,易因施力过大造成组织损伤。本文提出一种基于气动涡流的夹持器,可使软组织悬浮,实现低接触或无接触操作。我们设计了该夹持器,并对40种不同形状(含凸/凹曲面)与曲率半径的软表面进行了全因子实验,研究气流参数对提升力的影响。通过在生物组织和不同形状软球上开展活体实验,验证了该技术的优势与局限性,明确了其在医疗应用中的改进方向。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Soft tissue manipulation is an integral aspect of most surgical procedures; however, the vast majority of surgical graspers used today are made of hard materials, such as metals or hard plastics. Furthermore, these graspers predominately function by pinching tissue between two hard objects as a method for tissue manipulation. As such, the potential to apply too much force during contact, and thus damage tissue, is inherently high. As an alternative approach, gaspers developed using a pneumatic vortex could potentially levitate soft tissue, enabling manipulation with low or even no contact force. In this paper, we present the design and well as a full factorial study of the force characteristics of the vortex gripper grasping soft surfaces with four common shapes, with convex and concave curvature, and ranging over 10 different radii of curvature, for a total of 40 unique surfaces. By changing the parameters of the nozzle elements in the design of the gripper, it was possible to investigate the influence of the mass flow parameters of the vortex gripper on the lifting force for all of these different soft surfaces. An $\pmb{ex}$ $\pmb{vivo}$ experiment was conducted on grasping biological tissues and soft balls of various shapes to show the advantages and disadvantages of the proposed technology. The obtained results allowed us to find limitations in the use of vortex technology and the following stages of its improvement for medical use.
