Roboz equipmentThrough material optimization, functional modular design, precision tool development, and compliance innovation, the anatomical challenges from rodents to non-human primates have been systematically addressed. The specific adaptation strategies are as follows:
1、 Material and Craftsmanship: Balancing Durability and Biosafety
Application of corrosion-resistant materials
For non-human primates (such as monkeys) who may come into contact with corrosive substances such as body fluids and disinfectants during surgery, Roboz instruments (such as bone biting forceps and surgical scissors) are made of stainless steel or titanium alloy to ensure that they can maintain sharpness and structural stability even after long-term use. For example, titanium alloy bone biting forceps can withstand high-frequency biting without deformation during neurosurgery, reducing the risk of instrument failure during surgery.
Precision machining and polishing
The surface of the instrument has been highly polished to reduce tissue adhesion and bacterial residue, meeting the high requirements for sterile environments in non-human primate experiments. For example, the tweezers in the Roboz rat anatomy kit are mirror polished, making it easy to pick up small blood vessels without damaging surrounding tissues.
2、 Functional modularization: covering the anatomical needs of the entire species
Rodent specific tools
Miniature design: For small animals such as mice and rats, Roboz provides anatomical needles with a diameter of 0.3-0.5mm, which can be used in conjunction with a micro manipulator arm to achieve precise positioning. For example, in brain stereotaxic experiments, ultrafine dissection needles can penetrate mouse skulls without damaging brain tissue.
Multi functional integration: The rat dissection instrument kit includes surgical knives, scissors, tweezers, spinal cord fixators, and other tools, covering the entire process from skin incision to visceral exposure, reducing the number of instrument replacements in experiments.
High precision instruments for non-human primates
Three dimensional stereotaxic manipulator arm: In the monkey brain computer interface experiment, this device can accurately locate the motor cortex area with an error controlled within 0.1mm, ensuring the accuracy of electrode implantation.
Anatomical needle with cutting groove: used for the separation of complex tissues (such as muscles and ligaments) in non-human primates. Its special groove design can reduce tear damage and improve surgical efficiency.
3、 Precision Tool Development: Breaking the Limits of Species Anatomy
Neurosurgical specialized instruments
Ultra thin blade: The blade thickness of Roboz bone biting forceps is only 0.2mm, suitable for fine window opening of monkey skull to avoid damaging the dura mater.
Anti tremor handle: In response to the possible problems caused by small hand tremors during non-human primate surgery, the handle is designed ergonomically to increase friction and reduce operational fatigue, thereby improving surgical stability.
Live imaging compatible tool
In non-human primate live imaging experiments, Roboz provides non-magnetic instruments (such as titanium alloy tweezers) to avoid interfering with MRI or CT scan results and ensure the accuracy of image data.
4、 Compliance and ethical fit: meeting international research standards
Animal Ethics Certification
Roboz equipmentAdhering to the 3R principles of substitution, reduction, and optimization, for example, its disposable sterile packaging dissecting needles can reduce the risk of cross infection and decrease the number of animals used.
In non-human primate experiments, instrument design prioritizes minimal invasiveness, such as using interventional brain computer interface technology instead of traditional craniotomy surgery to reduce animal pain.
Sterilization and traceability management
The equipment supports high-pressure sterilization (121 ℃, 15 minutes) and provides biological indicators to verify the sterilization effect, ensuring compliance with the high sterility requirements of non-human primate experiments.
Each device is labeled with usage records and lifespan tracking to avoid experimental deviations caused by device aging.
