Smart Surgical Instruments: The Future of Sensor Integration in Medical Devices
Advances in miniaturized sensors, flexible electronics, and new materials have enabled the development of sensor-enabled surgical tools, transforming the operating theatre.
These innovations improve safety, shorten procedures, and reduce costs for health systems by enhancing tissue identification, physiology monitoring, and wound closure.
Examples of Innovation
- Catheter ablation devices for cardiac arrhythmia management
- Pulsed field ablation (PFA): using high-voltage pulsed electrical fields to ablate heart tissue
Different types of cells have different energy thresholds, enabling some to be ablated while others are protected.
Author's summary: Sensor-enabled surgical tools revolutionize medical procedures.
