Instrument Positioning by Means of electroaktive polymers (EAP)

The precise positioning of instruments, as required in microinvasive surgery for example, is a challenging task. Piezo crystals are already used for this purpose. The present technology uses the piezoelectric effect of special polymers, called electroactive polymers (EAP), for instrument positioning.
