ErgoSuture - Model Drive’N Roll -End-Effectors

Roller-Based Suturing in Robot-Assisted Surgery (RAS): We do not make surgical robots. We make surgical robots better at suturing. Our RBS technology, when applied to RAS, adds one additional degree of freedom (8th) in the form of the rolling tips. With powered opening and closing of the jaws, Drive’N Roll end-effector transforms into a multi-functional tool, needle driver, grasper, and dissector, thus further reducing downtime in tool replacement during the procedure. Through variable clamping force, Drive’N Roll end-effctor will also minimize tissue damage.
