suturing device
Single port Laparoscopic surgery is a modern surgical technique in which an operation is performed through a small incision at the belly button. This technique is less painful and leaves minimal scarring. However, the procedure takes a longer time, which causes laparoscopic thumb, a condition that most surgeons suffer from. 
As such, this suturing device offers omnidirectional access to buttons and comfortable grip for most Asian hands. Buttons are positioned at the front for better actuation by stronger fingers.     
Design approach of DO, UNDO, REDO is executed.
We studied existing instruments, analysed their features and parts and lastly recomposed them into a new instrument.
