A Submillimeter Continuous Variable Stiffness Catheter for Compliance Control

A Submillimeter Continuous Variable Stiffness Catheter for Compliance Control

Abstract Minimally invasive robotic surgery often requires functional tools that can change their compliance to adapt to the environment and surgical needs. This paper proposes a submillimeter continuous variable stiffness catheter equipped with a phase‐change alloy that has a high stiffness variati...
