Our scorpion-inspired needle showed an 8.38% reduction in force, 29.37% reduction in tissue damage, and a 19.64% reduction in deflection in comparison to the standard biopsy needle used today.1 pageengPublic Domainhttps://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/Poster presentationsSurgical technologyBiomedical engineeringText
