Development and Experimental Validation of a Combined FBG Force and OCT Distance Sensing Needle for Robot-Assisted Retinal Vein Cannulation

ICRA 2018poster

Retinal Vein Occlusion is a common retinal vascular disorder which can cause severe loss of vision. Retinal vein cannulation followed by injection of an anti-coagulant into the affected vein is a promising treatment. However, given the scale and fragility of the surgical workfield, this procedure is…

Development and experimental validation of a force sensing needle for robotically assisted retinal vein cannulations

ICRA 2015poster

Retinal Vein Occlusion is a common retinal vascular disorder which can cause severe loss of vision. Retinal vein cannulation and subsequent injection of anti-coagulant in the affected vein is a promising treatment. Given the scale and the fragility of retinal veins on one side and the surgeons limit…

Intuitive teleoperation of active catheters for endovascular surgery

IROS 2015poster

Advances in miniature surgical instrumentation are key to less invasive and safer medical interventions. In cardiovascular procedures interventionalists turn towards catheter-based interventions, treating patients considered unfit for classical more invasive approaches. Improvements in design and st…
