Popis: This paper attempts to demonstrate the need of implementing measurement solutions to surgical mechanical staplers. The object of the writing is to present a working electronic system that can be implemented in a circular surgical stapler and to bring solid conclusions after testing on animal tissue. The setup contains an Arduino-based system together with a required sensor, placed on an already existing surgical circular stapler. Measurements and results are described with the goal of defining the range of appropriate compression that can be exercised on the living tissue, without leading to side (negative) effects.
