Abstract

A new hand held surgical device intended to aid physicians in microsurgery is reported. This device provides a means for delivering small implants through the use of a precision motion linear stepper motor fabricated from silicon and piezoelectric components. The stepper motor described here utilizes the inertial properties of a moving mass as part of the actuation process. Micro Electromechanical Systems-based (MEMS) technology is used in building the device. Test instruments have delivered over fifty implants with consistent performance. Typically the test instruments have attained 1.2 mm/s advancement speeds against 3 Newton resistance loads, a maximum output force of 4.6 Newtons, and maximum total displacement of 38 mm.
