TS-063919 — An articulating end effector for additive manufacturing that uti
lizes robot-assisted endoscopic surgery to implant synt
hetic tissues at local defects through “keyhole” incisions in patients.
This innovative technology T2019-145 is part of a portfo
lio that also includes T2017-363. To learn more about both technologies, please visit https://oied.osu.edu/find-technologies and search using t
