Zusammenfassung:This paper describes the design of an integrated electro-mechanical system for small scale tissue manipulation and stimulation. Finite element modeling was applied to simulate the electro-thermal mechanism for tissue gripping. The results revealed the effects of materials, input voltage, power consumption and media on the operation of micro-tweezers.
