Summary
This study introduces a novel clinical puncture system that significantly reduces needle insertion force, improving percutaneous puncture outcomes. The developed admittance control method lowers peak needle force by up to 50%.
Area of Science:
- Medical Engineering
- Interventional Procedures
- Biomedical Devices
Background:
- Percutaneous puncture is a critical interventional technique.
- Needle insertion force directly impacts procedure effectiveness and patient outcomes.
- Optimizing puncture mechanics is essential for advancing minimally invasive treatments.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop and validate a clinical puncture system for reducing peak needle insertion force.
- To investigate the influence of various parameters on needle force during skin penetration.
- To establish a method for optimizing peak puncture force in percutaneous procedures.
Main Methods:
- Development of a novel clinical puncture system with variable control.
- Analysis of parameter effects on needle insertion force.
- Implementation and validation of admittance control with threshold adjustments.
Main Results:
- The system successfully reduced peak needle insertion force by approximately 50% compared to maximum force conditions.
- A reduction of about 13% in peak force was observed compared to minimum force conditions.
- Key factors influencing peak force and successful application of the method were identified.
Conclusions:
- Optimizing peak puncture force requires careful initial setting of puncture variables based on their impact.
- The novel admittance control method should be integrated using these initial settings.
- Consideration of the new method's characteristics is crucial for effective peak force suppression.
