Hey Doc, I’ve been tinkering with the shape of a surgical handle—just a few tweaks to make the grip smoother and reduce hand fatigue. Thought it might interest you.
Nice work on the handle—sounds like a thoughtful tweak. What materials are you using, and have you tested the ergonomics with real users?
I went with a titanium shaft for strength and a silicone sleeve on the handle for a smooth grip. Had a few surgeons try it out during lunch; they said the hand feels more natural and the grip doesn’t slip. It’s still early, but the feedback was solid.
That’s great to hear the surgeons liked it—titanium and silicone sound like a solid combo. How’s the weight distribution feeling? Any tweaks needed before you move to a full prototype?
