A surgeon and an engineer. Antonio Barrasa Shaw and Alberto Giménez Sancho, professors at CEU Cardenal Herrera University, have designed and patented a new device for rectal cancer surgery. This device allows to create a purse suture to close the rectum that, on one hand, creates a better anastomosis and, also, is much easier to operate inside the pelvis than the conventional linear stapler, improving this surgery for doctors. They used 3D software to model the new concept and 3D printing to prepare it.
