A Multifunctional Capsule-like Puncture Biopsy Robot for the Gastrointestinal System

Micromachines, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 16(5), P. 589 - 589

Gastrointestinal submucosal tumors (SMTs) are difficult to diagnose accurately due their deep location and the limitations of traditional biopsy tools. To address these issues, we propose a multifunctional capsule-shaped puncture robot (PBR) with capabilities for tissue sampling, thermal hemostasis, multi-stage drug delivery. The PBR measures 27 mm in length 13 diameter, integrating micro-scale electro-permanent magnetic system 60-turn dual-layer coil (wire diameter: 0.6 mm) drive an 8 mm-depth needle. A graphene–carbon nanotube composite heating film enables rapid safe temperature elevation, achieving effective hemostasis triggering sequential release using paraffin-based phase-change materials. Heating remains within clinical safety range. Experiments demonstrated successful penetration, precise control, reliable staged pigment simulating Tests on ex vivo porcine stomach confirmed adaptability irregular gastric surfaces. This compact provides integrated minimally invasive approach both diagnosis treatment gastrointestinal lesions.
