Effectiveness of manual versus automated cleaning on Staphylococcus epidermidis biofilm removal from the surface of surgical instruments.

American Journal of Infection Control, 2020
BACKGROUND Biofilm removal is a challenge during surgical instrument processing. We analyzed the time required for Staphylococcus epidermidis to form biofilms on surgical instruments, and how cleaning methods removed them.

RAUNet: Residual Attention U-Net for Semantic Segmentation of Cataract Surgical Instruments

International Conference on Neural Information Processing, 2019
Semantic segmentation of surgical instruments plays a crucial role in robot-assisted surgery. However, accurate segmentation of cataract surgical instruments is still a challenge due to specular reflection and class imbalance issues.

Surgical instrument availability

AORN Journal, 2005
Surgical instrument availability often is at the top of the list for perioperative quality improvement projects. Ensuring availability of surgical instruments can be a daily struggle. At one facility, searching for items shortly before a procedure was a common occurrence.

Payload optimization of surgical instruments with rolling joint mechanisms

IEEE/RJS International Conference on Intelligent RObots and Systems, 2020
Many surgical robots with steerable surgical instruments have been proposed for endoscopic surgery. Surgical instruments should be small in size for insertion into the body and be able to handle large payloads such as tissue. Because the overall diameter

Surgical instrumentation

2021
Abstract This chapter discusses the instrumentation needed to perform minimally invasive sacroiliac joint fusion, a novel treatment for sacroiliac joint pain or chronic sacroiliitis. As in any surgical procedure, access to the appropriate surgical instrumentation is imperative for a safe and successful outcome.

Identifying Surgical Instruments in Laparoscopy Using Deep Learning Instance Segmentation

International Conference on Content-Based Multimedia Indexing, 2019
Recorded videos from surgeries have become an increasingly important information source for the field of medical endoscopy, since the recorded footage shows every single detail of the surgery. However, while video recording is straightforward these days,

Complex design of surgical instruments as barrier for cleaning effectiveness, favouring biofilm formation.

Journal of Hospital Infection, 2019
BACKGROUND Inadequately reprocessed reusable surgical instruments (RSIs) may harbour infectious agents which may then be transferred to a suitable site for replication.
