Description
Summary:For minimally invasive drilling processes, the temperature development in the drilling ground is of crucial importance for patient safety. To monitor the temperature during drilling, a drill prototype was developed by BREDEMANN ET AL. which can record the drill temperature in parallel to the process and in real time. The measurement principle of the thermistor (temperature sensor) integrated in the drill could be validated. [1] The prototype must be refined for use in the operating room, as the drill does not yet meet all the medical requirements that need to be fulfilled. In further development, the recorded temperature data in particular must be processed and communicated to the surgeon in order to provide added value for the surgical procedure.
