TSK Platform

The TSK Platform Powered Laparoscopic Stapler is an advanced minimally invasive surgical instrument, widely used in various surgical fields such as laparoscopy and thoracoscopy. This product achieves precise tissue cutting and reliable suturing through its electric drive system, which can automatically detect tissue thickness and adjust the firing speed accordingly. This capability effectively reduces postoperative complications and enhances surgical efficiency and accuracy.

The design inspiration for the TSK Platform originates from the optimization of traditional powered staplers. Through lightweight and compact design, the platform reduces weight by an average of 27% and volume by an average of 26%, significantly improving the convenience and safety of surgical operations. Its user interface is simple and intuitive. Surgeons can easily fire and retract the instrument by stretching and retracting their index finger. Additionally, the platform is equipped with an emergency retraction lever designed like a bottle opener. This lever, optimized for mechanics, allows for manual retraction, ensuring the safety of the surgical process.

In terms of technical features, the TSK Platform uses an LED light to indicate the status of the instrument. This design is not only simple but also cost-effective. The packaging is made from environmentally friendly kraft paper, aligning with the concept of sustainable development. Moreover, the handle of the TSK Platform is crafted using laser engraving technology, combined with ergonomic design to ensure comfortable and stable operation by surgeons. The use of bionics principles and 3D scanning technology further enhances surgical precision and efficiency.

During the development process, engineers faced comprehensive trade-offs among process, materials, cost, human-computer interaction, and performance. The biggest challenge was to control costs while ensuring performance. For example, through mechanical optimization and finite element simulation analysis, the force application of the emergency retraction button was changed from unidirectional to bidirectional. This allowed the material to be switched from metal to plastic, significantly reducing cost and weight. By collecting a large amount of experimental data on staple formation under different tissue thicknesses, the optimal firing speed for each tissue thickness was determined through data analysis, ensuring reliable anastomosis performance.
