Waterjet\nsurgery has proven to be an efficient method for wound cleansing. Scientists\nfrom the MIRO Innovation Lab of the Institute of\nRobotics and Mechatronics of the German Aerospace Center have developed a\nsystem based on the MIRO technology for robotic wound debridement by means of a waterjet. For this purpose\na robotic instrument with an integrated waterjet applicator has been constructed,\nwhich the clinician can attach to the robotic arm MIRO. Andrea Schwier, scientist\nof the MIRO Innovation Lab\u2013Team, presented a Paper about the design of this\ninstrument at the International Symposium on Medical Robotics (ISMR) that was\nheld at the Academy of Medicine in Atlanta, GA, from 3-5 April 2019. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The water\npressure of the waterjet applicator can be adjusted very precisely, so that selective\nablation of certain tissue and structures is possible. Necrotic tissue, being\nmechanically less resilient, can be removed by setting the water pressure to a\nlevel at which only the necrotic tissue is ablated, while the healthy tissue\nunderneath remains intact. Two integrated degrees of freedom of the wrist reduce\nthe necessary robot movements needed for an ablation \u2013 for example for wound\ndebridement \u2013 and support the minimally invasive approach. In addition, integrated\nsuction ensures better ablation effects and potentially reduces the risk of\nscattering pathogens due to water particles being\ndissipated into the air during procedure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The paper introduced at the ISMR 2019 describes\nthe design of the instrument and tests of the integrated suction function. Furthermore,\na concept \u2013 based on the combination of a vibrating motor with a flexible\nelement \u2013 for further increasing the oscillation frequency of the instrument\ntip and therefore also increasing the ablation performance is shown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
