Our new paper is one of the first out there on force feedback (FFB) technology with the #dV5 @IntuitiveSurg We studied the prototype robot almost 2 years before product launch and saw that FFB allowed less use of force, more efficiency, and less trauma, while suturing Open access: link.springer.com/content/pd… Wonderful partnership with: @IntuitiveSurg team, @ElliotServaisMD and @lailara58
