Needles are often used in surgery, because they cause the patient minimum pain and tissue damage. By developing smart, flexible and controllable needles, we’re taking this minimally invasive surgery to the next level, for reasons like the fact that these needles can access parts of the body that are difficult to reach. In the coming years, we hope to continue developing these needles and to tailor them to a number of select, high-impact medical applications.
