    Area of Science:

    • Surgical Instrumentation
    • Medical Device Design
    • Minimally Invasive Surgery

    Background:

    • Traditional surgical procedures often require multiple instruments.
    • Switching between scissors and tying forceps can interrupt workflow.
    • A combined instrument offers potential for enhanced surgical efficiency.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce a novel platform tying scissor design.
    • To evaluate the integration of scissor and tying forceps functionalities.
    • To assess the potential benefits for surgical applications.

    Main Methods:

    • Conceptual design and prototyping of the platform tying scissor.
    • Functional testing of integrated scissor and tying forceps components.
    • Simulations or preliminary evaluations of device performance in simulated surgical tasks.

    Main Results:

    • Successful integration of scissor blades and tying forceps mechanisms in a single device.
    • Demonstrated functionality for both cutting and grasping/tying actions.
    • Preliminary data suggests potential for reduced instrument exchanges.

    Conclusions:

    • The platform tying scissor represents a novel approach to surgical instrument design.
    • This integrated device has the potential to enhance surgical efficiency and streamline procedures.
    • Further in vivo studies are warranted to validate clinical utility.
