Abstract
In digital nerve repair surgery, handling the digital nerves using traditional forceps requires surgeons to be extremely cautious in order to minimize unintended iatrogenic nerve trauma. These injuries are mainly caused by excessively forceful manipulation with metallic rigid forceps. Soft pneumatic actuators have been increasingly adopted to broaden the biomedical applications of conventional rigid structures due to their inherent excellent...
