Abstract

With the rapid advancement of minimally invasive surgery (MIS), surgical instruments are required to achieve higher precision, flexibility, and miniaturization. Conventional two-finger mechanical forceps often suffer from structural complexity, stress concentration, and unstable grasping. Inspired by origami engineering, this study proposes a novel three-finger origami-inspired forceps (Tri-Oriceps) that realizes three-dimensional deployable motion from a single flat sheet through rational crease design.
