Safe surgical resection of lesions with a traction robot
Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is a technique that enables en bloc resection of lesions, but it is highly difficult to operate. In particular, highly skilled techniques are required in cases where the field of view is narrow or it is not possible to smoothly crawl into the submucosa. Conventionally, there has been a technique that secures the field of view of the peeling surface and reduces the crawling operation by pinching the lesion with a clip or the like connected to an elastic member and pulling it. However, it is not easy to properly attach a grasping member through an endoscope, and there is a problem that complicated work is required to operate multiple treatment tools. The present invention relates to a traction robot that safely and reliably performs a resection procedure by pulling a lesion with an appropriate force. An electromagnetic motor and a wire for pulling the lesion are provided inside the traction robot, and a force sensor is mounted to measure the traction force and enable feedback control. In addition, the traction force can be detected more safely and with high accuracy by providing a scaffold for fixing the traction part in vivo.

Company information
The revenue generated from technology transfer is reinvested into universities and researchers as new research funding, which is used to create further research outcomes. To ensure the smooth operation of this cycle, known as the "Intellectual Creation Cycle," we will actively promote technology transfer. The types of seeds we handle include patents, know-how, databases, and programs. We have established a collaborative framework by concluding basic technology transfer agreements with the following universities (as of April 1, 2026): - Tohoku University - Hirosaki University - Iwate University - Akita University - Fukushima University - Yamagata University - Tohoku Gakuin University - Iwate Medical University - Fukushima Medical University - Aizu University - Miyagi University - Hokkaido University - Muroran Institute of Technology - Showa Medical University - Asahikawa Medical University
