Brief Case Study

Force-Feedback Endoscope

Force-Feedback Endoscope

Our team of engineers developed a line of force-feedback endoscopes and related tools for: Upper GI (ERCP),Sigmoidoscopy, Colonoscopy, Bronchoscopy, Hysteroscopy, Ureteroscopy, and Vein Harvesting. Scopes include active and passive haptics, providing realistic look and feel equivalent to Olympus, Terumo, Johnson & Johnson, and Karl Storz flexible and rigid endoscopes. Scopes include custom position sensing techniques including ultraminiature optical encoders.
