In medical area, suturing is the joining of tissues with needle and “thread,” so that the tissues bind together and heal. The “thread” is actually specialised suture material.

Dr Hemant Bhansali (Laparoscopic Surgeon from Nanavati Hospital, Mumbai) and Dr Rupesh Ghyar (Chief Scientist BETiC, OrthoCAD Lab, IIT Bombay) have already developed & patented an Auto-suturing device. During this project the problems related to functionality and usability were resolved.

A simpler suturing device was developed, which can be used by surgeons as well as even paramedics with reduced cognitive load resulting into ideal suturing.

The final output of the project is in the form of a full-scale model and the work has been shown in the SolidWorks software with rendered animation.
