Flexible piezoelectric sensor for real-time image-guided colonoscopies: a solution to endoscopic looping challenges in clinic

Flexible ferroelectric wearable devices for medical applications

“…During the procedure, the piezoelectric sensor could detect extreme forces and bending, and thereby send a notification to the connected monitor. When the colonoscope reaches the desired location, the piezoelectric cable can be removed allowing the working channel open for use by other tools ( Kenet et al, 2020 ).…”
