TIME - Technical
Innovation in Medical Equipment
Innovation
is the process that translates knowledge into economic
growth and social well-being. As the demand
for health care is on the rise, so is the desire
for effective innovative medical solutions.
Our
enthusiastic team of experienced specialists and young
engineers is devoted to bringing new innovative
ideas to the medical field. TIME's primary focus is to
improve safety during surgery with new operation tools
and innovative training boxes. The companies projects
are supported by several industrial partners,
STW as well as the Delft University of
Technology and the LUMC (medical centre in Leiden).
It is TIME to innovate !

Development of
a surgical isolator for minimally invasive
surgery
The
specially designed isolator systems protect the
patient against infection due to contamination while
instrument movements are not restricted. Furthermore,
looking at the field of microsurgery, robot surgery and
laparoscopy, the Isolator System decreases surgical
errors by increasing the haptic feedback (tissue
sensation) during delicate tasks as suturing or
tissue manipulation.

Visual
feedback of the force in laparoscopic box
trainers
To improve endoscopic surgical skills, an
increasing number of surgical residents practice on box
or VR trainers. Current training is mainly focused on
hand-eye coordination. Training methods that focus on
applying the right amount of force are not yet
available. The aim of this project is to use the new
Forceplatform for a trainer that informs about
forces during laparoscopic training tasks. This new
Forcetrainer is developed at the department of
Biomedical Engineering at the TU Delft

Forcesensing in Athroscopy
trainers
To provide objective feedback in
athroscopy trainers, a new and smaller version
of the force sensor is developed for the PASSPORT
training simulator of Gabrielle Tuijthof. This new and
improved sensor decouples all rotations from
translations and is able to give accurate readings even
when forces are exerted far from the sensor's
midpoint.
