FUTURE IMPACT βοΈIt could revolutionize gene therapy for inherited retinal diseases, improving treatment precision. βοΈCould allow for IV sedation instead of general anesthesia, making procedures safer and recovery faster. π This robotic assistant is still in the testing phase. The device was tested using pig eyes and published in Science Robotics. π Stay tuned for more innovation updates > Credit: University of Utah https://youtu.be/rpHt-put4t8?si=1RMvb_0aHgkDVZd1

π¬ BREAKTHROUGH IN ROBOTIC EYE SURGERY π¬ > Precision for Retinal Surgery Researchers at the University of Utah have developed a groundbreaking robotic surgery device designed to assist eye surgeons in performing delicate retinal procedures with superhuman precision. π‘ Why It Matters: - Retinal surgeries require extreme accuracy, as surgeons operate on a layer of cells less than a millimeter thick. - Even slight hand tremors, patient breathing, or head movements can affect the procedure's success. > How the Surgical Robot Works: β«οΈThe robot executes movements as small as 1 micrometer (smaller than a single human cell). β«οΈIt is mounted to the patientβs head, compensating for movement to keep the eye stable. β«οΈA haptic interface scales down the surgeonβs hand movements, eliminating tremors.

> arthrometer π ACL injury The KT-1000 arthrometer is a medical device used to measure the anterior-posterior laxity of the knee, by assessing how much the shinbone (tibia) can move forward and backward relative to the thighbone (femur). It is primarily used to diagnose injuries to the ACL by quantifying the degree of knee instability > ππ¬ bme arthrometer
