Identification Marking of Laparoscopic Instruments for Video Recording

Project Overview

Often times laparoscopic surgery cases are recorded for educational purposes. A resident and faculty member will, at the same time, control the laparoscopic instruments required for surgery. In order for the medical students to clearly see which instrument belongs to which surgeon, the instruments must be uniquely marked in a sterile and non-permanent way.
