Automated Microsurgical Tool Categorization using a Surface-Based EMG System.

The selection of micro-surgical tools and their usage form a critical component in today's surgical outcome. The success or failure of the surgery depends on how effectively the surgeon has applied the tools on the operating patient. Popular surgical tools, including forceps, clamp applicators, micro-scissors, and needle holders, are typically used in operating procedures, and characterising the same set of tools in conjunction with the surgeon's implementation remains a topic of continued interest.
