FlexCut Biopsy Device for In-Situ Endoscopic Tissue Sampling<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Primary Goals<\/strong>: Design, model, and test a microscale biliary biopsy thin walled cylindrical prototype tool. Verify the method and magnitude of actuation in terms of displacement and the ability to withstand the cutting force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Broader Impacts<\/strong>: Biliary biopsy procedure is conducted to obtain cell\/tissue samples from the inside of the bile duct to predict the presence of malignant tissues. This biopsy process is performed conventionally by brush cytology and needle with or without forceps. The FlexCut tool may be able to aid in producing the required tissue yield, increasing the sensitivity, and limiting the invasive nature.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
