Smooth Shaving Device for Arthroscopic Surgeries

Smooth Shaving Device for Arthroscopic Surgeries

The goal of this project is to create a robust device with reusable tooltips that can arthroscopically shave arthritic joint surfaces smooth to lessen pain and lower rehabilitation time. Our device will embody these capabilities via approximation of a random-orbital sanding motion of the shaving platform, as well as offer better ergonomics and user comfort than traditional arthroscopic tools. This tool will enable those suffering arthritic knee pain to lead comfortable and fulfilling lives.
