Abstract :
A peristaltically actuated device for minimally invasive surgery (PADeMIS) is being developed at Technical University of Ilmenau. PADeMIS will be manufactured from silicone rubber and its design is being optimized by finite element analysis (FEA). Due to the small dimensions of the device an extensively automated fabrication technology, based on lithography, is developed. Furthermore, a controlling unit is built up
