Biomedical textiles play a pivotal role in advancing robotic surgery, providing numerous benefits that enhance surgical precision, safety, and overall patient outcomes. In the realm of robotic-assisted procedures, these textiles are used in a variety of components such as sutures, meshes, grafts, and flexible control cables.

Braided and woven textiles can be integrated into robotic systems to serve as control cables or actuation elements, allowing for precise manipulation of instruments with minimal lag.

Textiles used in robotic instruments are thin and flexible, allowing them to pass through small incisions while maintaining functionality

Textiles made from materials like ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE), polyester, and polypropylene interact gently with soft tissues, minimizing trauma and reducing the risk of injury during manipulation or suturing in robotic-assisted surgeries.

Knitted and braided textiles conform to anatomical structures, which allows robotic instruments to work more fluidly and adapt to the complex, dynamic environment of human tissue.
