The 'steerable punch' is a minimally invasive instrument for arthroscopic surgery that allows a surgeon to remove a torn meniscus in one continuous cutting session.

Lots of exercises slow down disease progression in people with Parkinson's, but in doing so, there is a chance that the body will 'freeze' for some time while walking. Among other things, Cue2Walk developed a smart wearable in the Medical Delta Living Lab Rehabilitation Technology that helps when such a 'freeze of gait' occurs. Read more.
For effective treatment of impaired arm function, proper diagnosis of the movement problem is important. A consortium is developing a diagnostic robot that will eventually allow objective and scientifically validated measurements of arm function. Read more.
The Reinier de Graaf Gasthuis was the first hospital in the world to test real-time tracking of surgical instruments using Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) chips during the surgical procedure. The tests took place in the Medical Delta Research Hospital. With the test results, the use of RFID chips in operating rooms could be further developed by the company Van Straten Medical. Read more.
