Design of an endoscopic OCT probe based on piezoelectric tube with quartered outside electrodes.

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a pivotal imaging modality in ophthalmology for real-time, visualization of retinal structures. To enhance the capability and safety of OCT, this study focuses on the development of a micro intraocular OCT probe. The demand for minimal invasiveness and precise imaging drives the need for advanced probe designs that can access tight and sensitive areas, such as the ocular sclera.

Design of a Subretinal Injection Robot Based on the RCM Mechanism.

This study presents an investigation focusing on the advancement of a robot designed for subretinal injections in the context of macular degeneration treatment. The technique of subretinal injection surgery stands as the most efficacious approach for the successful transplantation of stem cells into the retinal pigment epithelium layer. This particular procedure holds immense significance in advancing research and implementing therapeutic strategies involving retinal stem cell transplantation.
