Team 21: LigaSure Custom Linear Motion Assessment to Improve Performance
Above: Test fixture to explore proof of concept idea of linear assessment using an accelerometer.
This project sponsored by Medtronic uses accelerometer feedback to interpret custom vibrational signals in order to determine the position of an internal component of a laparoscopic sealing device. The team prototyped a test fixture that replicates the movement of the device and developed components to assess the linear motion.
