Robotic Needle Driver (EndoWrist)
An EndoWrist grasper with a seven-degree-of-freedom articulated wrist and jaws designed to hold suture needles, controlled through the robotic system's arms.
How it is used
Enables intracorporeal suturing in robotic surgery (vesicourethral anastomosis in prostatectomy, vaginal cuff closure, vascular suturing), with wrist articulation that eases needle passage at difficult angles.
