Scali, M. (author), Pusch, T.P. (author), Breedveld, P. (author), Dodou, D. (author)Flexible steerable needles have the potential to allow surgeons to reach deep targets inside the human body with higher accuracy than rigid needles do. Furthermore, by maneuvering around critical anatomical structures, steerable needles could limit the risk of tissue damage. However, the design of a thin needle (e.g., diameter under 2 mm) with a...journal article 2018

Scali, M. (author), Pusch, T.P. (author), Breedveld, P. (author), Dodou, D. (author)High accuracy and precision in reaching target locations inside the human body is necessary for the success of percutaneous procedures, such as tissue sample removal (biopsy), brachytherapy, and localized drug delivery. Flexible steerable needles may allow the surgeon to reach targets deep inside solid organs while avoiding sensitive structures ...review 2017
