Abstract :
This paper describes small, soft, and safe (S3) micromachine for minimally invasive medicine. We have developed pneumatic balloon actuator (PBA) as S3 micromachine. The PBA is applied to a retractor for spacing in front of the endoscope. The PBA based surgical tool for a retinal pigment epithelium transplantation is also reported to demonstrate advantages of S3 micromachine.
