Received October 23, 2024; Accepted January 21, 2025; Published June 30, 2025


Highlights

● Three different electrode structures, including ring-needle electrode, needle electrode, and cylinder electrode, were designed to accommodate diverse surgical requirements.

● A novel low-temperature plasma ablation electrode features interchangeable tips, enabling surgeons to select appropriate tips based on specific operative situations.

● With increased electric field strength, ring-needle electrodes facilitates liquid medium breakdown, thereby optimizing plasma generation and ablation efficacy.

Received December 3, 2024; Accepted March 4, 2025; Published June 30, 2025


Highlights

● Innovative Design: A wire-driven multi-degree-of-freedom electric needle holder enhances laparoscopic suturing flexibility and stability.

● Advanced Motion Control: Two rotational joints enable yaw and pitch movements for precise needle placement in confined spaces.

● Superior Clamping Performance: With a maximum clamping force of 29.6 N an extraction force of 12.9 N, the needle holder prevents slippage.

● 28% Faster Suturing: Reduced operation time due to minimized repositioning in complex procedures.

● Clinical Potential: Validated through diverse tests, demonstrating accuracy and efficiency in minimally invasive surgery.
