Abstract


The design and analysis of a module for the orientation of the instrument tip in minimally invasive surgeries are presented in the paper. Some aspects related to its design and modularity point out the advantages of the proposed solution. A comparison study is performed assessing the workspaces of classical instruments and ones that use the orientation module pointing out the advantages of the proposed solution. 

Key words: design, modularity, minimally invasive surgery, custom solutions, innovative development
