Abstract :
The hydrophobic forcep for robot surgery was developed by powder injection molding and surface treatment. The processing conditions including filling behavior for powder injection molding was developed through MoldFlow simulation. After producing the surgical forcep, the surface treatment for hydrophobic surface was realized.
