Abstract
This abstract reports on a first proof of concept of a combined force and distance sensing microneedle for vitreo-retinal surgery. An OCT A-scan probe was aligned and mechanically fixed to a previously developed force sensing cannulation microneedle. This combination of sensors was used together with a previously developed robotic surgical assistive system to perform a series of retinal vein cannulations on ex-vivo enucleated porcine eyes.
