Improved Grasper Enhances Detection of Arterial Pulsations in Laparoscopy

Study validates optigrip® haptic grasper for arterial pulsation detection in laparoscopy. Results show 96% pulsation detection rate with haptic grasper compared to 6% with conventional grasper. Optigrip® identifies pulsations in 100% of 4-5mm arteries and 92% of smallest arteries, while conventional grasper only detects 8% of smallest arteries. Findings highlight significant tactile perception improvement for surgeons using haptic feedback technology in laparoscopic procedures.
