Laparoscopic surgery is a minimally invasive surgery where the surgeon creates small incisions on patients body in order to insert instruments and light with a camera to perform surgical procedures. Even though this surgery results in quicker recovery time and lesser pain for the patients, it is highly demanding for the surgeons.

Since the operations last for hours, there is a need to design and develop devices which minimize the surgeon's discomfort while enhancing usability. This project is an attempt to design such a device for the procedure of cutting and coagulating tissues during laparoscopic surgery.

The project is focused on generation of a user centric ergonomic design of electrosurgical device while also trying to solve existing issues of visibility, fatigue and hygiene in the operating theatre during laparoscopic surgery.

After constant trials and multiple mock up prototypes, the device is designed to gently grip the hand and uses flexible linkages to provide comfort of use, ease of assembly and maintenance.
