Ali, A. (author), de Winter, J.C.F. (author), Dodou, D. (author), Breedveld, P. (author)To overcome the challenges presented by complex 3-dimensional shapes and tortuous vasculature in the cardiovascular environment, we previously developed a prototype of a multi-steerable catheter having 4 DOFs controlled by two joysticks [1]. However, it remains unknown whether the added steering possibilities are beneficial in the cardiovascular...abstract 2017

(author), Heidari, Hadi (author), Van Der Heiden, Maurits (author)Magnetostrictive strain sensors with high spinorbit coupling have been integrated with Fiber-Bragg-Grating sensors wherein the gap within the gratings varies with strain within the encapsulating magnetostrictive material. Terfenol-D has been chosen as the mm sized magnetostrictive material which exhibits the largest known bulk...conference paper 2023

Scali, M. (author), Kreeft (student), Davey (author), Breedveld, P. (author), Dodou, D. (author)Flexible steerable needles can follow complex curved paths inside the human body. In a previous work, we developed a multiple-part steerable needle prototype with a diameter of 1.2 mm, inspired by the ovipositor of parasitoid wasps. The needle consisted of seven nickel-titanium longitudinally aligned wires held together at the tip by a...conference paper 2017

(author), Momi, E. De (author)Navigation inside luminal organs is an arduous task that requires non-intuitive coordination between the movement of the operator's hand and the information obtained from the endoscopic video. The development of tools to automate certain tasks could alleviate the physical and mental load of doctors during interventions allowing them to focus on...conference paper 2022

Sprang, Tim (author), Breedveld, P. (author), Dodou, D. (author)This paper outlines the development of a four-part needle prototype inspired by the ovipositor of parasitic wasps. In the wasp ovipositor, three longitudinal segments called valves move reciprocally to gain depth in the substrate. It has been suggested that serrations located along the wasp ovipositor induce a friction difference between...conference paper 2016

Breedveld, P. (author), Stassen, H.G. (author), Meijer, D.W. (author), Jakimowicz, J.J. (author)Within a Dutch research program on minimally invasive surgery, a large literature survey has been carried out. This article describes the state of the art in research on observation in laparoscopy. It gives an overview of factors impeding the surgeon and technical developments designed to overcome these problems. A large number of journals,...journal article 2000

Loeve, A.J. (author), Van de Ven, O.S. (author), Vogel, J.G. (author), Breedveld, P. (author), Dankelmann, J. (author)In order to fully benefit from the functionalities of flexible endoscopes in surgery a simple shaft-guide that can be used to support the flexible endoscope shaft is required. Such a shaft-guide must be flexible during insertion into the human body and rigidified when properly positioned to support the flexible endoscope shaft. A shaft-guide...journal article 2010

Dodou, D. (author), Van den Berg, M. (author), Van Gennip, J. (author), Breedveld, P. (author), Wieringa, P.A. (author)A self-propelling colonoscopic device moving inside the colonic tube should be able to periodically grip safely to the colonic wall as well as to manipulate the generated friction. The feasibility of achieving high grip and friction manipulation by covering the device with mucoadhesive films is experimentally tested. More precisely, the...journal article 2008

Sakes, A. (author), Regar, E. (author), Dankelman, J. (author), Breedveld, P. (author)Chronic total occlusions (CTOs) represent the “last frontier” of percutaneous interventions. The main technical challenges lies in crossing the guidewire into the distal true lumen, which is primarily due to three problems: device buckling during initial puncture, inadequate visualization, and the inability to actively navigate through the CTO....journal article 2016

(author)urpose Compared with many small circular beams used in CyberKnife treatments, beam’s eye view-shaped fields are generally more time-efficient for dose delivery. However, beam’s eye view-shaping devices, such as a mini-multileaf collimator (mMLC), are not presently available for CyberKnife, although a variable-aperture collimator (Iris, 12 field...journal article 2011

Dodou, D. (author), Breedveld, P. (author), Wieringa, P.A. (author)One of the main challenges in designing diagnostic devices able to move along the colon is their locomotion method. Generating friction without applying high normal forces is a key requirement in order to eliminate the risk of tissue damage. One possible solution is to generate friction by means of adhesive forces. For this reason, the device...journal article 2006
