(author)While articulated surgical instruments have enabled the proliferation of minimally invasive interventions, procedures such as laparo-endoscopic single-site surgery are waning in popularity. One potential reason for this decline is a lack of sufficiently dexterous instruments. Although multi-steerable instruments exist, these are often complex...journal article 2024

Cuellar Lopez, J.S. (author), Plettenburg, D.H. (author), Zadpoor, A.A. (author), Breedveld, P. (author), Smit, G. (author)Various upper-limb prostheses have been designed for 3D printing but only a few of them are based on bio-inspired design principles and many anatomical details are not typically incorporated even though 3D printing offers advantages that facilitate the application of such design principles. We therefore aimed to apply a bio-inspired approach...journal article 2021

Cuellar Lopez, J.S. (author), Smit, G. (author), Breedveld, P. (author), Zadpoor, A.A. (author), Plettenburg, D.H. (author)In developing countries, the access of amputees to prosthetic devices is very limited. In a way to increase accessibility of prosthetic hands, we have recently developed a new approach for the design and 3D printing of non-assembly active hand prostheses using inexpensive 3D printers working on the basis of material extrusion technology. This...journal article 2019
