MUMBAI, India, July 31 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202411096757 A) filed by Lovely Professional University on December 07, 2024, for Automated Needle Holder With Dynamic Tension And Size Adjustment Mechanism.
Inventor includes Asshish Aggarwal.
The application for the patent was published on July 24, 2026, under issue no. 30/2026.
Abstract: The present invention relates to an automated needle holder designed for surgical applications, featuring a dynamic tension and size adjustment mechanism. The device comprises a needle gripping mechanism that adapts its grip based on the needle size and tissue resistance, facilitated by size detection sensors and tissue resistance sensors. These sensors provide real-time data to a control unit, which processes the information and commands an automatic tension adjustment mechanism to modify grip pressure dynamically. The control unit employs advanced control algorithms, such as PID control, to ensure precise and swift adjustments, maintaining optimal pressure for various surgical contexts. The needle holder is powered by an integrated power supply and is constructed from durable, sterilizable materials, with an ergonomic design to reduce hand fatigue during prolonged use. The invention uses shape-memory alloys for tension adjustment and piezoelectric or strain gauge sensors for size detection, improving adaptability and efficiency in surgery.
