Preliminary Design of Robotic System for Closing Incision by Rotating Bandage Method*

Wound treatment is routine work in hospital and bandaging of wound happens numerous even in a hospital scale. However, manual bandaging is accompanied with potential infection and it is tedious and manpower-wasting besides. This paper proposed a customized bandaging mechatronic system for avoiding bacteria from hand contact. The design of the propose bandaging system is developed and the working procedure of the by the system is given step by step. To the best knowledge of the authors, the customized mechatronic system is the first bandaging robotic system for bandaging purpose. After loading a customize bandage package, the proposed system lays a solid foundation for automatous bandaging method without human intervention during bandaging.
