A challenge to providing universal access to contraception is the large proportion of the population living in rural, difficult to access settings in low- and middle-income countries. The availability and delivery of effective contraception in rural areas is limited by the lack of trained healthcare providers. Barriers to the use of long-acting contraceptives in rural areas are more pronounced due to the advanced skill and training to administer. In this study, we describe the design and testing of the SubQ Assist, a task-shifting contraceptive implant insertion device that aims to reduce the training requirements for administering contraceptive implants while simultaneously ensuring safe and high quality administration. Cadaver testing in conjunction with ultrasound depth measurements were used to evaluate the efficacy of the SubQ Assist. Implant insertion between the SubQ Assist and a trained physician are compared. Cadaver testing and ultrasound depth measurements demonstrate that the SubQ Assist results in implant insertions that are statistically equivalent to implants inserted by a trained physician. Additionally, the results show that the lateral positioning of these implants would facilitate uncomplicated removal at a later date. These findings demonstrate proof of concept for the SubQ Assist and provide evidence for moving towards clinical testing. They demonstrate that the SubQ Assist may be an effective method of task-shifting the insertion of contraceptive implants to minimally trained providers in order to expand access in rural areas.","PeriodicalId":49305,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Medical Devices-Transactions of the Asme","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46920206","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The purpose of this surgery is to treat cervical spine instabilities. The surgical procedure requires drilling into specific region of the vertebrae in order to attach spinal implants and ensure a normal spacing between each vertebra. In this context, the proposed robotic platform allows to control and restrict surgeon's movements to a specific drilling direction set by the surgeon. The current platform is composed of a collaborative robot with 7 DoF equipped with a drilling tool and directly comanipulated by the surgeon. A motion capture system, as an exteroceptive sensor device, provides the robot controller with the movement data of the vertebra to be drilled. Robot Operating System (ROS) framework is used to enable real-time communication between the collaborative robot and the visual exteroceptive device. In addition, an implemented compliance control program allows to enhance the safety aspect of the robotic platform. Indeed, the collaborative robot follow the patient's movements while constraining the tool movements to an optimal trajectory as well as a limited drilling depth selected by the surgeon. The robot's elbow movements are also restricted by exploiting the null-space in order to avoid collisions with other equipment or medical team members. Experimental drilling trials have been performed by an orthopedic surgeon to validate the usefulness and different functionalities of the developed robotic platform, and provide that a collaborative robot can comply with spine surgery procedure.","PeriodicalId":49305,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Medical Devices-Transactions of the Asme","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45983880","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The effectiveness of the introduced modifications was assessed on 51 subjects, with effectiveness representing the recruitment of a broader range of muscle groups with desired intensity levels. The improvements include a new in-phase mode, where bilateral body synchronization creates a skiing-like motion, and a variable range of motion through adjusting the stride length of a rotating-link mechanism.\u0000 The impact of these modifications on muscle recruitment was assessed by recording surface electromyogram (sEMG) from eleven major muscles while performing a total of six exercise routines. The routines have various combinations of mode and intensity to cover the traditional mechanism and the newly- introduced mechanism adjustments for comparative analysis.\u0000 The results have shown that increasing the stride length increases the demand on lower limbs muscles during the anti-phase mode while decreasing it on upper limb muscles. When comparing the two exercise modes, all muscle groups showed significantly higher activity in the in-phase mode except for thigh muscles (Hamstrings and Quadriceps). Hamstrings revealed significantly higher activity in the anti-phase mode, while Quadriceps showed no significantly different activity between the two modes.\u0000 The introduced design modifications are shown to diversify the demand on major skeletal muscles hence improving its functionality at low added cost. Furthermore, these results can be exploited to implement gradual physiotherapeutic rehabilitation plans targeting various muscle groups with desired intensity levels.","PeriodicalId":49305,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Medical Devices-Transactions of the Asme","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44497712","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using a finite element model of a 2-phase BLDC motor, scalability laws are provided for diameters between 0.1 and 100 mm and current densities between 1 and 1000 A/mm2. Based in the impact of the cogging torque and overheating of the motor, scale dependent operational limits are calculated. Operational threshold can be determined at the point where cogging torque becomes dominating over total torque, limiting the use of traditional iron-core motors in the micro-scale. To overcome such limitation, a potential solution is to increase the current density in the windings. However, overheating of the motor limits such increase in the current density which is critical for internal medical applications. Current density limits are provided based on three representative in-body thermal scenarios: respiratory tract, body fluid and blood torrent. Maximum current densities and corresponding torque and efficiency have been obtained for different micro-motor sizes considering safe in-body operation as threshold. It is demonstrated the potential application of micro-motors in internal body environments with acceptable performance for sizes down to 0.1 mm diameter.","PeriodicalId":49305,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Medical Devices-Transactions of the Asme","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42831496","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They can provide customized feedback that can be rapidly modified with minimal hardware changes in comparison to non-robotic systems. This work describes the design, development, and evaluation of one such tool: a novel uniaxial torque haptic device for a surgical training simulator. The objective of the work was to design a single connection haptic device that could augment an existing six degree of freedom haptic device to mimic a Concorde Clear vacuum curette. Design and evaluations focused on the tool's ability to deliver adequate torque, imitate a surgical tool, and be integrated into the haptic device. Twenty-nine surgeons tested the tool in the simulator and evaluated it via a questionnaire. The device was found to deliver the 800 N·mm of torque necessary to mimic an orthopedic procedure. Surgeons found it accurately imitated surgical tool physical appearance and maneuverability, scoring them 3.9±1.0 and 3.3±1.2, respectively, on a 1-5 Likert scale. By virtue of the functionality necessary for testing and evaluation, the device could be connected to the haptic device for mechanical and electrical engagement. This device is a step forward in the field of augmentable haptic devices for surgical simulation. By changing the number of robotically-controlled degrees of freedom of a haptic device, existing devices can be tuned to meet the demands of a particular simulator, which has the potential to improve surgeon training standards.","PeriodicalId":49305,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Medical Devices-Transactions of the Asme","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-04-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48506893","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aims to investigate the effect of structural parameters of the VSD occluder. A mechanical model of the VSD occluder was constructed by theoretical modelling. The mechanical properties of the VSD occluders with different braiding angles (30°, 45°, 60°), materials (nitinol (NiTi), polydioxanone (PDO)) and waist-heights (3 mm, 4 mm) were analysed and validated by bench tests. For the 30°NiTi, 45°NiTi, 60°NiTi and 45°PDO occluders, the bending angles at the waist under 1 mm radial shrinkage were 112°, 121°, 155° and 155°, respectively. And the maximum principal strains at the waist were 16.62%, 8.19%, 1.20%, and 0.66%, respectively. The maximum radial deformations with 0.5 rad axial bending at the waist were 1.73, 1.44, 0.41 and 1.68 mm, respectively. When the occluders were implanted into VSD with the mean thickness of 3.5 mm, high stress appeared at the margin and the contact area, and the area with the 3-mm-occluder was much larger. In conclusion, the 60°NiTi occluder showed better ability to fit the deformation of the defect than the other NiTi occluders, and the 45°PDO occluder performed better under compression conditions but poorly under bending conditions than the 45°NiTi occluder. The choice of the appropriate waist-height is beneficial to eliminate associative complication by reducing the contact stress.","PeriodicalId":49305,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Medical Devices-Transactions of the Asme","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2022-03-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41782796","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
