Existing Endoscope Control Handle |
Objective:Design endoscope control for suturing tooltip. Integrate design with current endoscope controls. Why?Endoscopic suturing will eliminate the need for external incisions in many gastro-intestinal procedures. This increases patient comfort, reduces recovery time and eliminates the visible scarring of traditional procedures. Constraints:The design must adapt to fit current endoscope handles while being operable by a single surgeon without interfering with the existing controls. Background Information:Wikipedia provides a nice overview of endoscopes and endoscopic procedures.
